He was Number 1 in Hell Drivers but his most iconic role was in a very different production in which, numerically speaking, he was further down the pecking order.

Ah, but was he? Doesn't he turn out to be half a dozen places higher in the pecking order in the final episode?

He became known for playing parts like that - slightly two sheets to the wind.

Thanks. Then he did it with great finesse. I'm sure we can all think of comedy actors playing slightly drunk and going way over the top.

I've posted a thread on him - funny too. :D

Glimpses: Marlborough Theatre, Holloway 1962

Can't find online the actual Glimpses TPTV of this, but here it is in it's full 10 minute wonderful yet sad film of the demolition of this once great theatre, which in turn became a cinema before closing its doors in 1957.

It doesn't mention it here with the BFI version, but what do you think the very last film was that was shown here in 1957..............................? ;)
