No, the man in question was a physicist and returned to academic life later, was a professor at a university in his native Scotland, and also wrote (i believe) two scientific textbooks. Big hint for those in the know, his family name would be more commonly seen in Wales than Scotland.

I finally found him: Reginald Victor Jones

That was a hard one! Just for that, I am going to think of another TV person. Smilie

Perderabo you are correct.

RV Jones was the Assistant Director of Intelligence (Science), making him the highest ranking civilian on the Air Staff.


Matrixmadhan, unless you are thinking of a different Richard Samuel Attenborough he was not a civilian, nor particularly high ranking, He had the rank of Flight Sergeant Airgunner and Cameraman in the RAF, and was dischareged in 1946 at the age of 23 or 24.

We have been doing all males so far, so I decided to pick a female this time. She is an actress famous for her role in one particular TV show. This show was very famous in the US, not sure about other countries. And it was produced quite a while ago. Remember: you need the name of the actress, not the name of her character.
