What a great actor & having 'known' him all my life through his Films & children's TV shows, all I can say is thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

 

"The actor, singer, and children’s entertainer, whose career spanned seven decades, was known for iconic roles in The Railway Children, the Carry On films, and Fawlty Towers, as well as narrating The Wombles, and for his beloved appearance as Wilfred Mott in Doctor Who"

"His career spanned seven decades with such diverse work ranging from films like The Railway Children and the Carry On series, hit 60’s song Right Said Fred, a notorious guest on Fawlty Towers and narrating The Wombles."

Many things to remember about this talented actor.

Fawlty Towers being one of many.

Just came across this and it is uncomplicated humour,  sadly those days have gone now.  It features Bernard and Barry Cryer performing The Good Old Days at Leeds City Varieties.
