He's not at the top of my list of favourite comedians, but he does bring back very comforting childhood memories. His black and white films were a staple of Saturday Afternoon and the cry "Mr Grimsdale" still echoes clearly through my head. The films don't appear too often nowadays, but when they do, if I have a little time to spare I will usually watch them.
What's also nice about him is that unlike so many comedians he appears to have been truly generous and happy, and in that way just like his "Pitkin" character.
