The Picture Game: London Bridge Special

[Rick Henry]

What's your interpretations, ideas or thoughts on this picture? What were Karen and Richard thinking at this moment in time?

A lovely lass on holiday runs into a spot of trouble near the Tower of London. A Beefeater steps to her aid. They strike up a conversation as he walks her back to the main thoroughfare. She spots her party and thanks her 'hero'. Happy ending.



Honestly, I always wondered what this was all about. I don't remember any skit or part where they dressed like this. Both R & K seem to like dressing up ... no matter what age/era!

My thoughts are that they are at Disney World or Land and there's a booth or maybe a place you can have your pic.
made in old timey clothes, and so they dressed up for that occasion just for fun. Really unusual pic for them.

Definitely one shot I've never seen before.....MUST have been (please tell me it was) a promo photo shoot for something - I mean....I hope they didn't just "dress up" one day. Okay, I guess if they WANTED to, who am I to speculate, eh?

They do look like they're enjoying themselves. Richard has a BIG smile on his face - I think part of that might have been the sun in his eyes....Karen looks so healthy and happy. I would guess this WAS, indeed, some sort of promo for something - they did so many various things from potato chip commercials to TV shows, to concerts, and on and on and on.....Whatever the reason, I like the fact that they seem to be ENJOYING themselves.

Great picture. Will be anxious to know where you came up with this one, Rick.

Best to you all,
Tim

This picture is from an appearance Karen and Richard made on Tom Jones' "London Bridge Special" filmed in 1972.

I like this picture as it's different from what we generally see of K&R. I really like the costumes.

What I find interesting is that even in this costume Karen still looks like the "tomboy" who's ready to play her drums.

Karen kind of looks like an extra for a 'Jack The Ripper' flick.

Funny... but come to think of it she does...

Eerie, but it would make a nice launching point for a story.
