Flash curtains and a perfect cup of tea
A builder has been left impressed by actor Michael Brandon's tea-making skills, describing it as the "best cuppa ever." The 79-year-old American star, known for his role in the 80s crime drama 'Dempsey and Makepeace,' recently assisted a family member in moving into a new home in Hampstead, North London.
Recognition and appreciation
The tradesman, Mark Edwards, 51, who was tasked with putting up curtains at the property, immediately recognized Michael from the popular TV show. He was pleasantly surprised by the tea-making abilities of the actor, praising his attention to detail, especially with the right amount of sugar.
Top-notch hospitality
Mark, a father-of-one from West London, was treated to multiple cups of tea by Michael during the two-day job. Impressed by the actor's hospitality and precision in making tea to his liking, Mark described the experience as "top-notch" and highlighted Michael's generosity in serving as many cups as needed without any reminders.
A Hollywood connection
Despite initially being coy about his identity, Michael eventually revealed his role in 'Dempsey and Makepeace' to Mark after completing the job. The actor's marriage to his co-star Glynis Barber, who portrayed a British detective in the TV series, adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to the encounter.
