I was a bit disappointed when I met the TV star David Soul after Mack And Mabel last week at the Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne.

He came out on two occasions and sighed at the autograph hunters saying: "I want to go and eat!"

I asked him to pose for the camera and he said: "Why should I pose? I'm a normal human being!"

I reminded him that Starsky And Hutch was 30 years ago and he snapped at me: "I know how long ago it was, honey!"

He said the Starsky And Hutch movie was weak and he only appeared in it because he was paid to.

I have better memories of him on Jim'll Fix It in 1977 when a little girl said to him: "What do you think of all the beautiful actresses on Starsky and Hutch?"

He replied: "I think you're beautiful."
