Comedian with a long career in radio and television.
He died in 1982, aged 82.
Trivia
He was one of the very first TV comics - though few people would have seen his first appearances, which were part of the BBC's experimental broadcasts by the 30-line Baird system back in 1933.
He was a castaway on Desert Island Discs no fewer than four times - a record he shares with David Attenborough.
