Who Am I?

I considered the three big points in my career were: being taken on by the Players Theatre after WW2 for my professional debut; working with Tommy Handley; and doing the radio series Educating Archie.

That's Hattie Jacques.

Re: Let's Carry On.

Which Carry-On star was held at a POW camp during WW2 and took part in providing cover for escape tunnel digging, which was later dramatised in the film The Wooden Horse?

Re: Let's Carry On.

Here is another bio.

Born in Watford in 1927 I began my theatrical career in my teens at the Watford Amateur Dramatic Society playing small comic roles. During the Second World War I served in the Royal Navy and in 1945 I used my demobilisation gratuity to enter show-business as a manager of seaside shows around Britain.

Re: Let's Carry On.

I have found it staffslad. Bit of a talk fest being her trial. Will check out the other Ladykiller eps. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Let's Carry On.

The episode is entitled Suffer Little Children, and I suppose it is actually a docu-drama, concentrating on Dyer's trial--she was a truly loathsome creature and richly deserved her end imo. I recommend the other episodes in the Ladykillers series.

Re: Let's Carry On.

I could only find the Ladykillers Amelia Dyer documentary. Do you know the name of the one you are talking of?

Re: Let's Carry On.

Sid was a South African Jew by the name of Solomon Cohen. Did you know that? I agree Joanie was the best of the Carry On thespians. i will try tgo catch Ladykillers.. is it a doco staffslad?

According to Carry on Darkly, he was a top women's hairdresser in his home country.

No, although it features Sims as the real-life Dyer, it is presented as a drama.
