    This was just lovely. We forget that these actors were not the same as their characters in real life, hearing them speak is mind blowing. Accomplished actors effortlessly going into character.

    The greatest British comedies succeed so well because they have SUCH great actors (who are more concerned with appreciation for their craft from their fellows than with achieving some vacuous 'celebrity').

    George Bruno Money, AKA Zoot Money (born 1942), famous for his Big Roll Band and acting career is still with us. He played a character called Lotterby in the 1979 film titled Porridge. Zoot made his first public band appearance in Bournemoth in November 1961, thereafter he had R&B, soul, jazz and rock bands, in which he played alongside many musician associates. He is also well known as a bit part and character actor. Check out his Wikipedia page.
