* [[Joseph Tomelty]] as Dan McEntee / Connell O'Grady (writer)
* [[Patrick Barr]] as Sir Archibald Asher
* [[Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914)|Charles Hawtrey]] as Adolphus Hayman, President of Temperance Society
* [[Diane Hart]] as Ada Shore / posing as "Miss Lamplighter" (pending new principal's secretary)
* [[Robert Urquhart (actor)|Robert Urquhart]] as Sheltie

==Critical reception==
The ''[[Radio Times]]'' has described it as a "theatrical comedy," which was "shakily brought to the screen...the story involves mistaken identity, Celtic poetry, horse racing and the rigging of Rectorial elections. Blink and you'll miss Ronnie Corbett in what, of course, can only be described as a small role."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiotimes.com/film/cqs4k/youre-only-young-twice|title=You're Only Young Twice|author=Adrian Turner|work=RadioTimes}}</ref>
