The V.I.P.s
He first became well known in the early 1960s for performing topical calypsos on television shows such as "That Was The Week That Was", after having been discovered by Ned Sherrin, performing at the Blue Angel Club in Mayfair. A tall thin man with a distinctive crooked nose and prominent ears, he also appeared in several British comedy films including the Carry On film "Carry On Cruising" (1962) (replacing Charles Hawtrey who quit in a dispute over billing). He had a cameo role in "The V.I.P.s" (1963) and another in "The Yellow Rolls-Royce" (1964). He had a major role, and second billing, in the comedy musical "It's All Over Town" (1964).
