Richard Smith was one of The Desperate Men (the other being John Beedell who played Screwy), a comedy duo who had been regulars at the Old Profanity Showboat. Rather weird and wonderful. It was only natural that the two actors were invited to perform in Stinkfoot. Not readily apparent is that Richard had his hair dyed black with dark red highlights and greased into a Teddy Boy ponce for the show.

Tria, as Raggedy Alma, was a last minute addition to the cast so that Vivian could have dance with his music. She was sort of Buster's dummy and he used her to work out routines.
