To me Harry H was a brilliant actor and played Harold with such feeling that you could almost cry with pity such was the pathos of the character. There are a few times when I am almost sure you can almost see him cry with anger and frustration with Albert and the way he mentally totured his own son inorder for him to get his own way. I saw Albert not as the father, but morelike a child who had temper tantrums if they did not get their own way, example being when he would pretend he had a heart attack, but cunningly disguised by the brilliant writing of Galton and Simpson.

An absolutely brilliant tv series with brilliant actors.

I was reading an interview with him after the second series. He said 75% of the character was just him...... but he didn't say which 75%. He'd just completed a movie where he played a posh bloke having problems with his 'ladies who do', but I can't recall the title. The magazine was naturally contrasting his rag and bone persona with the posh chappie. He remarked that he was concerned about being identified with Harold too much but said he would be making more shows after a break. He also dwelt on the hard work he'd done in rep theatre to get where he was now (then).

I believe it really was called Ladies Who Do.

my mum worked in the sketchleys in shepherds bush in the 1960s and says he was a lovely polite man unlike john le mesurier....

Absolutely Stuart.......my Sister sat opposite him once on a London tube-train, he was immaculately dressed (he always was in 'real life') plus Wilfred had small but significant roles in the early 60's Movies 'Flame in the Streets' , and 'The Boys'.

David Brent

I watched Wilfrid yesterday in the comedy 'San Ferry Ann' (1965).

You can't help laughing when you see him dressed in a singlet and long shorts.
Mr. Universe he ain't. More like a commercial for famine relief.

You hear so much about different partnerships like these not getting on. Just wondered if anyone knows if these two actors did? I like to thinks so, but nobody can get on together fully sometimes I guess.

With some partnerships the press just like to make out people fight which is a shame. I am looking forward to the new screenplay portrayal of them, does anyone know when it is on, or have I missed it?

Creative people feel isolated, they create, they`re not part of an established functioning society!
