Edward Chapman

[bhowells]

Edward Chapman turned up as a guest in the third series of the BBC's Morecambe and Wise show which I recently bought on video. On the face of it Edward Chapman was a strange choice to be a guest of Eric and Ernie as he wasnt a household name per se, having said that he proved to be an excellent guest playing opposite Ernie in drag in one of the plays what he wrote.

He was well known in our house because my brother loved The Early Bird. He was probably around the BBC studios a lot so was roped in to do a show. EC was filming The Onedin Line at the time, which was his last role.

He is now probably best known for his work with Norman Wisdom, usually as Mr Grimsdale, in 5 films between 1957 and 1965.



But he had done loads of films before he became Mr Grimsdale.

He made a great Church elder complaining about the tarts in Gone to Earth (1950)

He had a supporting role in the highly underrated Arthur Askey/Thora Hird movie The Love Match
