His principal character was Peruvian and the UK series were narrated by Sir Michael Hordern.
And he was a bear…………….
Sorry but I had to cheat! Due to the magnificent hints given by PJ I knew it had to be Paddington Bears author. I used bing to come up with Michael Bond!
TV 1952 – 1959
Well done BE, nowt wrong with using the facilities available.
Photo please.
Come on PJ keep up, I’ve already posted a picture!
Sorry BE, just making a cuppa !!!
Now off out, I know the face but can’t place the name. I’ll get in Leclercs probably…
I didn’t look up this answer, to stay in ‘my’ rules ! Is that Terry Thomas ? BE? Pete is probably too young to remember him!
Not Terry Thomas bv I think. I’ve had a think and is his name Mortimer Wheeler ? If not I will need to resort to wiki.
I enjoy a good quiz / enigma whatever you want to call it but these people are fooling no-one, same peeps just trying to out do each other with nonsense. makes a mockery out of quizzing if you ask me
Nobody is trying to ‘fool’ anyone, it’s a bit of fun that’s all. Does it really matter if people deign to ask for help to get the answer ? And in order to post a photo the easiest way is to find it on Google, how many people do you know have a pesonal collection of famous people of the past ? What’s wrong with a bit of nostalgia ? Remeber, it’s a bit of fun…
I respect your right to not like this topic but please don’t spoil it for those of us who do, thanks.
Sir Mortimer Wheeler please!!!!! Member of the team on Animal, Vegetable or Mineral in the 1950’s. Photo please Pete.
Who is this lot ?
It’s not a ‘Carry on film’ is it ?
No bv, I though it was an easy one.
Look and you’ll see Leslie Phillips, Ronnie Barker and Jon Pertwee…..
It is the cast of The Navy Lark, classic British radio comedy, n’est pas ?
Still listen to it on Internet radio. Leslie Phillips steering their ship HMS Troutbridge. “Left hand down a bit!”
Two for you here! No need even to Google the first one! A special one for slartibartfast. Guaranteed not to be found on the internet!
Well I think one is you, with a grandchild ? Haven’t a clue with the other one!
maybe Douglas Firbanks , Snr ? ( film star)
As soon as I posted the top one I saw that he had signed it! Derek Guyler. The bottom one is our daughter Simone with her step grandad Jim. Jim (James Joseph Barker) received a gold watch and a birthday cake from his mother for his 21st birthday at Dunkirk! Hit by German shrapnel he nearly lost an arm but still managed to “swim” to a Royal Navy ship. Fought in Africa and all up Italy his war medals are now proudly on display in our front room in England.
There were some tough and brave men, I doubt if the UK could fight a war these days.
maybe Douglas Firbanks , Snr ? ( film star)
