21 April:
A very happy birthday to Elaine May: comic, writer, film-maker. Legend. #DailyComedy #Comedy Historian #ElaineMay #Comedy #Hollywood #Laughter #ComicGenius #comedywomen #funnywomen #womenincomedy

Leslie Phillips was delighted with his #DoctorWho connections.
I was thrilled when he agreed to play my time-meddling baddie Dr. Knox for Big Finish Insider which pitted him against Colin Baker - here during the recording of ‘Medicinal Purposes’.
#ComedyHistorian #LesliePhillips100

One of #LesliePhillips100 great joys was The Navy Lark, here with Jon Pertwee: “I would fly back from filming anywhere in the world - usually at my own expense! - just so I could be there for those glorious recording sessions at the BBC. The happiest of days.” #ComedyHistorian

Happy #Saturday chums!
And what better way to start #LesliePhillips 100 Day than with Leslie Samuel Phillips CBE in full flow. Ding Dong!
Our Greatest Ever Englishman was born in Tottenham, North #London , on this day in 1924.
I say! 🤪🍾
