Listening to the wirless a few weeks ago, I heard a discussion about the TV sitcom 'Rising Damp'
Rigsby said something detrimental about the coloured chap who rented one of his rooms and the young chap (Richard Beckinsale ?) said ,"Come on now, we're all brothers" To which Rigsby said "He's not my brother. I've got a brother and he lives in Accrington" (Audience laughter)

I haven't made this up. I cannot believe that I didn't hear anything about it when the programme was one TV first time round. I shall try to catch any repeats.

If anybody knows him - let me know and I'll make sure he gets in the next edition of 'Men of Mark'. I don't know which school he went to, but it weren't t'Grammar Schoo'.
