Penelope Keith, the snobbish neighbour from The Good Life and the star of To The Manor Born, would have made an appearance in Doctor as a nurse if her part hadn’t been cut out, but she is still credited. |
The theatre impresario and producer of many West End
and Regional Shows features as a reporter in Matron. He is also remembered on
television as Gordon Clegg in Coronation Street.
He starred in the hit show Side By Side by Steven
Sondheim and he appears in Abroad playing Nicholas.
The busy stage and screen actress plays two interesting early roles in the Carry Ons. In Nurse she makes a small but memorable impact as Nurse Nightingale, who has to monitor a patient drip all night. In Teacher her part is expanded as Felicity Wheeler, the woman from the Ministry, who is investigating the school but falls for the bumbling Kenneth Connor. She has been on our screens more recently as the ageing prostitute, Beryl in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.
He is best remembered as the ever-attacking manservant, Kato to Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series, but he has also played bit parts in TV shows like The Harry Hill series. He appears in Carry On Columbus as Wang.
