"A bit of a ****-up on the catering front."

ha ha. I recall that now. Bloke had a cheek ..scrounging off his in laws. Jimmy was played by that fine actor Geoffrey Palmer.

Sequel: You mean a Perrin spin off called GROT?

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

Sunshine Desserts was the one. Jimmy was Reggie's brother-in-law and his catchphrase was "A bit of a ****-up on the catering front."

Grot was the company Reggie set up in one of the sequels, and was a chain of shops selling useless tat.

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

Wasn't there also some company called "Grot"?

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

In The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, who played Jimmy? Also, what was the name of the company for which Reggie worked.

Was Jimmy that tall bloke whose catchphrase was 'super CJ'? Name eludes me.

Sunshine Desserts?

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

Sam Kydd did have at least one starring role. He played Orlando o'Connor in the ITV children's thriller series 'Orlando' in the 60s, which I can just about remember.

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

Tex a hell of a lot of uncredited roles. These people are the hardest to pick. I will go with whatever staffs says. I have seen Sam Kydd in dozens of things.. never knew his name.

Donald, i did stress the point that he APPEARED but never STARRED .

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

Name this brit actor

Born 1915 in Belfast, came to London as a boy with his mother and brother and served in the army during the war, spent time as a POW. appeared in a staggering 240 films and countless tv shows he died in 1982 from a respiratory disease leaving one son Jonathon who himself became an actor and writer

Yep tex. Tend to not follow actors personal lives. So still lost. I should know him. How about one of his better known 240 staggering films? May help.

[Donald the Great]

Re: Brit movie/tv quiz.

240 films plus tv.. I am thinking a character actor. Hell the UK had so many good ones. Just a stab. Denholm Elliott. An under rated actor in my view.

yep tex. Still lost
