I was born in very sorry circumstances. Both of my parents were very sorry

I've got one idea I want to do for a film and you know I just enjoy myself doing bits and pieces.

In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.

As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can't remember the other two.

I've been extremely lucky having been in the army when I was a boy of fourteen.

You know I've got a chum, a smashing mate, he's got a dog with no legs, and he calls it a cigarette. It's true, yeah, because at nighttime he has to take it out for a drag.

I owe everything to the army.
