How camp is the guy that says that!!! Tee hee...

Especially when he unexpectedly gets blasted backwards through a door.

Classic!!

That's Tony Osaba, who is better known as inmate McLaren in the 1970s prison comedy "Porridge" with Ronnie Barker

Wasnt he a drummer in some band in the 70s, id bet my left one on it. Anyone know?

Why does he say "Tony, what's happening"? Lewis Collins' characters' name is Peter? Cockup in the heat of the moment? Bad editing?

It's because Lewis Collins character is meant to be on the other side of the embassy. Young Tony has just been taken out (by the absailing SAS guy maybe?) so the camp guy runs out seeing what's going down. Little does he know Skellern is standing there surrounded by armed bastards!

I reckon anyway...

Best scene in the whole film!

Tony Osaba used to be in Dempsey & Makepeace too as Chas (Spikings sidekick), so it was always funny to see Chas get blown away by Lewis Collins...

Wasn't he in an episode or two of Only Fools and Horses? Or is it my imagination playing tricks on me?

Tony Osoba was in an episode of The Professionals (Stakeout). He played a bad-tempered bloke who got beaten up by Doyle after he smacked him across the face.

I think he actually says "tell me what's happening.

"when in doubt - kill !"
