Aha - thank you. I think he had a male grooming range (the father, not the son!)

I think he was his nephew actually, not his son.

John Bird, age 86.
Yes, mostly forgotten now, but a very funny man. Rest In Peace JB

I totally agree, a true comedy legend. Can I be forgiven for thinking that he'd already slipped behind death's shadowy curtain, but I may be getting him confused with John Wells.
Am I right in thinking without recourse to IMdB that the late Mr Bird played Marmalade Atkins' father in the 80s series?
Great loss.
Slap-bang at the heart of the comedy revolution of the 60's.
RIP Mr Bird
