K is for... Keillor

 
A member of the Navarino race who acted as a bounty hunter. One of the Navarino "1950's Club", he was participating in a trip to Earth in that era when he learned that a member of the Chimeron race was also present on board their spacecraft, which was disguised as a period coach. The Navarino themselves had used a transformation arch to make themselves look suitably human.
Keillor discovered that Gavrok, leader of the brutal Bannermen, was willing to pay a huge bounty for the head of the Chimeron - a young woman named Delta. 
A mishap caused the Navarino ship to miss Disneyland in the USA and they ended up instead in rural Wales at the 'Shangri-La' holiday camp.
Keillor contacted Gavrok who was in orbit above the area, giving him Delta's whereabouts. Rather than pay up, Gavrok instead sent a destructive energy pulse along Keillor's radio wavelength, hoping to destroy Delta if she was near the bounty hunter. She wasn't and only Keillor was vapourised. Nothing remained of him except his blue suede shoes.

Played by: Brian Hibbard. Appearances: Delta and the Bannermen (1987).
  • Hibbard was best known as a singer with the a capella group The Flying Pickets. This was one of his first acting roles, and he went on to become a regular of Coronation Street.
