93 is a decent innings

Four Sydney Lotterbys down, one to go.

While at Catterick garrison, he taught radio theory and ballroom dancing

It's a man's life in the army!

Quite the pedigree there .Sydney Lotterby is one of those end credits names you never forget, like Mykola Pawluk, Ken Morse or Flick Colby,

TRIVIA  It was Lotterby that got Richard Beckinsale the Porridge gig, but before him, Paul 'Benny from Crossroads' Henry was in the frame to play Lenny Godber.

See, now you've made me think that Sydney was probably apt to stick his oar in a bit too much at times; I'd have loved to have seen Godber speaking with an unforced Birmingham accent and radiating that struggling-behind-the-champion-smile quality that Henry would've brought.  His 'Roads association will have done him no favours over the years, but Benny was a well-nigh thankless role, and Henry probably did as much as anyone could've with it.

You aren't half a mine, Brunds.

Is there nobody else in the world that can operate a rostrum camera?

I'm guessing he was also the inspiration for name of the dim-witted cook played by Zoot Money in the 1979 film version.

[easytarget]

He truly was a national Lottterby.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

What a CV.

RIP

[Glebe]

I was only really familiar with his name, but indeed, what a CV. RIP mate.
