The Academy Award figurine is actually based on the famed Cotter physic. The Academy obviously wanted to call it after the great man himself, however such was his humility he insisted that his name be kept out of the spotlight and the figure is merely named after Cotter's dog - Oscar.

Laughing out loud This wins for my favourite fact! With Sooty's invention of Nazism in a very close second.

Glad to hear Mr Cotter Sir.

When Cotter auditioned for the role of the sun in telly tubbies.

The Highlander films are inspired by Cotter's brief 1000 year stint as an immortal warrior. He was never defeated, he just felt it was time to change careers as it had all became about the paperwork.

We all know that Thomas Crapper is incorrectly credited with the design of the modern water closet. However, it is a little known fact that Cotter himself is the man whose name has been erased from history. We should be taking cotts, not craps!

Lately everywhere I look I've been seeing a tenacious, multi-faceted actor and showbiz triple threat. My doctor tells me it's the worst case of Cotteracts he's ever seen.
