Beautiful Britons No 122 - January 1966
Evelyn Voss - Kellerball West Berlin
/And When The Ball Was Over
Well, when it was they all went home from the Kellerball in West Berlin and said they'd all come again next year if they'd slept this one off by then. It was a real freak-out costume-wise. There was blonde EVELYN VOSS in a halter that made the others gulp, and there was a lovely neckline and a girl who looked as if she'd forgotten her skirt but hadn't. It was all good clean fun.
Then there was the girl who looked like a wallflower and was all black ribbon bows and ever so dishy, only she wouldn't dance because she said it made her stockings come down. Honestly, what they get up to.
Spick No 176 - July 1968
Joan Paul
/Good For A Giggle
We know many a girl finds a pair of Long Johns just right for helping her to stave off the goosepimples in the depths of winter, but when you come to look at them, fellers you can’t deny they’re good for a giggle.
In fact, if the comical gentry running the shows at the Pier Theatre during the summer season want to make sure the house splits itself in half from time to time, they’ll always think up a sketch in which the heroine wears Long Johns and is, moreover, seen to be wearing them.
We can’t laugh at JOAN PAUL, though, she’d be ever so upset, and we’ve always been good friends up to now.
Her white Long Johns aren’t her only pair, you know.
Can’t help giggling, can you, really?
Ruth Cavendish
/Ruth Cavendish and Mugdock Tower
Ruth Cavendish modelled for an outdoor set, with pictures appearing in Beautiful Britons No 101 (March 1964) and Spick and Span Extra No 11 (Summer 1964).
The tower, or castle as ToCo describe it, has always been a bit of a mystery until now.
Thanks so much to David for taking the time to research this and bring it to our attention.
Mugdock Tower is in Mugdock Country Park, which is north of Bearsden.
This picture of the tower was taken in about 1976, so a few years after Ruth had had her fun there, but there is no mistaking her positioning against the tower, with the same tree in the background. It is of course very probable that this quiet country park was used for a great many other ToCo outdoor sets.
It has been suggested that a blue plaque would be warranted on this tower.

This is the ToCo blurb that accompanied the set in Spick and Span Extra No 11
Glamour With a Smile
Never without a smile is RUTH CAVENDISH, who makes as attractive a picture against the old castle walls as any suit of armour, with or without visor.
Ann Williams
/Ann Williams
You can have white elephants, old bus tickets, a blown tile off Admiralty House and even a feather off an Ascot hat. But you can only have your own face, you can’t have someone else's. If your eyes are bloodshot, you’re stuck with them, it’s no good wishing you had beautifully clear blue orbs like ANN WILLIAMS has. Ann is Ann and you are you, and Ann is a cute, pretty picture on all counts and you’re not.
If you’re prepared to face facts, there’s always a chance for you. Speaking of chances, when Ann can get her skirt unhooked and rush off to an audition it’s possible one more vocal star will hit the pop charts. Ann has been singing since she was two and is already making a name for herself. Look out for this lovely little lady. We’re certain you’ll hear more of her.
And what you’ll hear will sound as nice on your ear as Ann herself is easy on your eye. Her statistics are 35"-22"-36" and as you can see, she has legs shapely enough to win the title of Miss Trim- Limbs.
Sara Scott
/Number Please
We don’t really care whether it's Pipkin 1234 or Tantivy 5678 as far as the directory goes - in our book when a number’s right it’s a number just like SARA SCOTT, corn-coloured blonde with a long leg line and a short hemline.
Speaking of numbers reminds us of figures, and figures remind us that Sara adds up to 36"-23"-35" going down, which Is as much about mathematics as we feel we need to know. We can't all be Einstein’s
This, by the way, is to show you that Sara looks just as attractive in one outfit as she does in another. But you knew that, of course.
Sara is just twenty as well as just the right number and the right number is any girl who rings the bell in the camera view finder. Sara rings it loud and clear.
Beautiful Britons No 93 - July 1963
Helen Candlish
/Oops!
Well, that’s the way it goes when pretty HELEN CANDLISH decides to do a spot of sun-bathing in a recalcitrant deckchair.
The sun’s right, and so is Helen. The only thing giving any real trouble is the chair. Helen may look as if she's sorted it out satisfactorily, but appearances are always deceptive.
There we are and all we can say to Helen is how simple she was to allow herself to be let down this away. Think of any recalcitrant deckchair and you’re on the track of one darned bump after another.
Ah, well, aplomb restored and there are no ladders and no tears. No one can take a bump and come up with this kind of smile like Helen can.
Beautiful Britons No 70 - August 1961
Anne Scott
/Bom-Diddy-Bom-Bom
Well, what else can we say?
We light on a view like this in the Scottish Highlands and what else is there except wow?
This is ANNE SCOTT, television personality and just about the shapeliest model North of the Border. They may have taken the old Flying Scot out of service, but they’ll never make Anne obsolete while she still has enough puff.
Puff? Well, all right, glamour.
You're stuck for conversation as you bump into her. You’re speechless.
You feel like a gormless goggler. All you can say is Bom-diddy-bom-bom.
That’s what we said in the first place.
Joy Carlton
/Just Right - But For What ?
You can either take them or leave them. JOY CARLTON took them but she still isn’t sure of the most suitable occasion on which to wear her new longs. Just for a cold day, perhaps!
Denise Fleming
/Swish
Some girls look cool and composed, some look swish. DENISE FLEMING looks very swish, she’s a 21-year-old Scottish girl with statistics of 36-20-36, and it’s great to know they develop so many like Denise north of the border.
Audrey Stewart
/Fashion Conscious
Glamour girl AUDREY STEWART is training to enter the ranks of the top-line fashion models, and talent plus training equals what!
If you assume (how can you not?) that two beans and three tomatoes make a funny kind of sauce, you must equally assume that talent plus training make a fashion model like Audrey.
And a fashion model like Audrey must be the tops, and that’s all this little lady asks for.
Val Morrow
/Warm Work
Secretary in Sydney, Australia, is VAL MORROW, and you know how warm it can get in Sydney. So, when the boss left Val doing a little overtime on the typewriter, she felt it wasn't going to be practical to let the heat reduce her to a mere sizzle.
So, Val got down to her work in cooler fashion and we can't say we blame her, particularly when she looks not only efficient but curvy. After all, even the most capable secretaries don't have to look just like a part of the office furniture, do they!
France Anglade
/When Can I Wear Something?
French film star FRANCE ANGLADE has a problem. Its all to do with the fact that the French film directors consider her too beautiful to wear all her clothes.
So, France has played any number of roles in a permanent state of lingerie-clad allure.
This is fine for the French cinema audiences, because there’s nothing Frenchmen appreciate more than lacy lingerie. But France has reached the point where she’d like to wear a dress or two.
Nevertheless, in her latest film she was persuaded to take on a part in which she appeared in black lingerie throughout, and you can see just how delectable she looks.
France may feel a little fed-up but we don’t.
Beautiful Britons - No 143 - October 1967
Bobby Shaw
/Bobby's a Socker
When she was little her mum said she was a shocker.
Who said?
Her mum said.
Whose mum?
We’re talking about BOBBY SHAW. Her mum. When she was little her mum said she was a shocker.
Well, she’s not now, is she?
Now she’s a socker.
Eh?
Bobby’s a socker. You meet her, look her right in the eye and wham! — you’re socked, infatuated. Done for. Her slave for life.
Who said so?
Go away, you useless bitty-pitty. If a photographic model like Bobby Shaw doesn't have that kind of effect on you, you must have an armour - plated nutcase.
Mary Graham
/Medals For Mary
It’s a pleasure to record that lovely MARY GRAHAM has recently won a national beauty contest, and we’re only sorry we weren’t present to pin on the medals ourselves. But you can’t have everything, can you? It’s enough to know that we know Mary —that in itself is a privilege, for she is inexpressibly charming.
