The date is a bit out with the QW & CSR cap badge (and not sure what collars Chapman is wearing) but here are the Pythons in Great War garb:

Any hope to find authentic badges or insignia displayed in the movie “Guns at Batasi” I’ve tried researching it on google but my very limited knowledge on researching and trying to find clear pictures stumps me. I absolutely loved the performance by Richard Attenborough. D.J.

Covered in my album with these pictures. Guns at Batasi - Film - Regimental Sergeant Major Lauderdale. Richard Attenborough won a BAFTA Film Award for his performance as the R.S.M. “He is a traditional hero with an unblinking dedication to the letter of military law. In the face of attack by African troops with a Bofors gun or a showdown with the African leader of the revolt, he proves his mettle in unflinching, steely style.”
Cap and collar badges made from an officers pip on a strung bugle horn. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...p?albumid=2439 Tim

"Arild's belt"
I would love a close look at the belt worn by Harry H. Corbett in the Steptoe series, there is one badge on his belt that looks like a Northant's Yeomanry, but I could not quite make out the centre.

From what I remember he has a West Kents badge on it, the character was in the West Kents?

Actor Richard Franklin, as Captain Yates, in Dr. Who. I think this one was called ‘Invasion of the Dinosaurs’ (c. 1974?):

Re Steptoe, I found these three pictures in a quick Google search. Don't think is what you're looking for though.

Alfred as a Royal Fusilier - I think it was an episode in which he reminisces that a girlfriend had "thighs like white marble lavatory basins", a phrase I appropriated and have used for decades.
