His name was Winterbottom, a cold stern man.
That is my favourite Dennis Norden line. Most people think of him with "It'll be alright on the night". However, to an older generation he will be remembered for creating The Glum Family on the wireless. Mr Glum played brilliantly and with great affection by Jimmy Edwards was a wonderful comic creation.
Like Dennis Norden's friend and writing colleague Frank Muir his was "Mirth that has no bitter springs".

Rosie and Jim have passed through their final lock, just as Postman Pat delivers his last letter.

I've always called him Charles Aznovoice. Now it's true.

Bill Maynard used that line on his radio show but rightly went on to admit it was unfair and Aznavour actually was a very good singer. He also wrote some beautiful songs. I saw him at De Montfort Hall in the 1970s and he was a superb live performer.
I believe Charles Aznavour was the nearest thing Europe had to Sinatra but unlike Sinatra does not seem to gave had a nasty side. Also Aznavour used his status to help preserve the heritage of French popular music.

The cut is a mucky old place; the best excuse there is for wearing old clothes. And completely by chance I found that I had put out a '92 Olympics t-shirt!
Now swapped for a PT, WRITER, FRIEND, LEGEND one.
