So it is farewell to Cyril Fletcher (1913- 2005).His career was in the theatre and radio and latterly in TV but he did appear in at least 3 films in the 1940s.
He was a splendidly flamboyant Mr Mantolini in Cavalcanti's NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (1947), he played himself in THE YELLOW CANARY (1943) a wartime thriller, and he played a character very similar to himself in the 46 minute short film A PIECE OF CAKE (1948) described in the Encyclopedia of British Film as one of the silliest films ever made.

Yes,it is sad that Cyril Fletcher has left us,he was by far the best thing about That's Life. However,ironically,in the Daily Mail Answers to Correspondence column,someone referred to him as the late Cyril Fletcher and the newspaper later had to issue an apology saying Mr Fletcher was still alive!
Goodbye Cyril bow

Pertinent epitaph for his headstone "ODD ODE COMING UP". No disrespect intended.
