Andrew Morgan writes: I was fortunate enough to work with Chris Boucher (obituary, December 20) on my first job as a freelance director. We were filming Blake's 7 and staying in a hotel in Ripon. One evening when some of the crew were sitting around, the conversation turned towards discussing hairstyles. At that time Chris had a rather silly combover with a low parting, and he was asked why he bothered with this. He mumbled something about not really knowing and had sometimes thought of doing away with it. Quick as a flash, the make-up girl whipped out her scissors and within a few seconds the comb-over was nestling in an ashtray. There was a stunned silence. Then, with his head in his hands, he stood up and left the room. Several minutes later he reappeared carrying a tray of drinks. It turned out he was rather pleased with his new look and was grateful for the way it happened. He said it gave him a new freedom.
