Trivia
Laurie missed out on credits for his work on the Saturday Night Drama series 'Wicked Women' because it was not realized till near the transmission dates that the music had been credited to (the easily confused with) Laurie Johnson.To avoid the copyright minefield it would have invoked, the music credits were removed, but to recreate the credit with the technology of the day would have been too time consuming and costly so it was just left out.
