    Too Many Crooks & School for Scoundrels are two of the best ever movies that i have seen with Terry Thomas in. Two absolute classics and this joke was simple yet very very funny and brilliantly executed. R.I.P TT

    Hilarious. Terry Thomas was a splendid risque uncle to me, growing up in the fifties. Side-splitting, 'though I didn't understand at the time. Nowadays comedic actors (and actresses) use vulgarity, coarse language, titillation ... and lubritious innuendo dramatically or humorously, ad infinitum. Standard English is dead. The species on the way out. ☘👿

    Love him, love him, love him. One of the best. So grateful he was part of my younger years. Terry and others made our society happy and full of laughter which is why us true Brits got through hard times after the wwll. It's in our DNA and something us old enough can tap into. We will find it again. All our kids should be shown. When they're older they'll understand. RIP Terry Love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    The man was a demmed rotter and an absolute cad. P.S. T-T was actually born in Finchley and his accent was arduously acquired. You can can hear a little bit of his original accent.

    He had no successor in films that I can think of, indicative of his uniqueness as a cinematic character type. Once gone, the actor's "Terry Thomas" persona that he epitomized so well, disappeared entirely from the world's movie screens.

    My Dad was a black cab driver in the '60's. Terry Thomas had a terrible reputation for hailing a black cab to take him home, pretending on arrival that his wallet was inside his house. He'd then disappear into the house, never to come out again. Word went round, and few cabbies would stop for him.
