Sid James
The charactor actor was born 108 years ago today...... Although he played in many many roles (often as Sid or Sydney, check out his imdb entry), I have a soft spot for his final sitcom, ITV's Bless this House, in which he played Sid Abbott between 1971 and his death in 1976. I also have a soft spot for his screen wife Jean, played by Diana Coupland although others may prefer thier daughter Sally, played by Sally Geeson, now 71. I hadn't realised that she did no more TV acting after Bless this House, later taking up teaching.
