As has been pointed out already, not just an entertainer, not just a talented actor, but also a historian of an era of entertainment that might have been forgotten without his decades of dedication. 3 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Not just the nationally famous but regionally famous acts like Frank Randle, and Bobby (The Little Waster) Thompson. Two men I find funny even today. A sad loss. I wonder if Archie Shuttleworth (his part in Corrie) is doing the funeral. “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM.

For those of us who read the Asterix stories in English, much credit must go to Anthea Bell, who translated them, with great thoughtfulness and wit, from the French. She died about fifteen months ago. Her brother was Martin Bell, the 'man in the white suit' who famously became the independent MP for Tatton. Her son was Oliver Kamm, a leader writer and columnist for The Times, who also takes a much more relaxed approach to both written and spoken English than many, explained in his Accidence will happen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
