In fact, I have a Chinese fella working for me who is the spitting image. Quite uncanny. I'm a cop, he's in my drugs squad and he's the best damn undercover agent there is. The dealers never ever suspect that a man looking like CH could be a cop and he just pulls the cases in hand over fist.
I've another bloke who looks just like Dennis Healey, although we all now reckon he's a deadringer for Susan Boyle while my mukker who runs the serious crimes squad is Chairman Mao.

I hope the triads don't read this or that's your cover blown.
I too like Vic Flange. And Signor Pepe's, (Peter Butterworth) pronunciation of Mr Farkyharse.
It's also very interesting that the current Afghan president has a name very similar to the leader in 'Up The Khyber'.
It's Esma Cannon for me...........the little old bird who who dithers and blinks nervously all the time .....she was also in the rag trade If I remember rightly?
All those old wonderful Ealing comedies........priceless they were....James Robertson Justice....Margaret Rutherford etc etc, all harmless silly fun........quinticentialy English to the core.
Yes, she was Soundas, with Miriam 'everybody out' Karlin, Reg Varney and Peter Jones (Fenners Fashions). Ealing's 'Whisky Galore' and 'The Maggie' : great stuff .
Evelyn Blunt: Not for me thank you. Vic Flange: Oh. Don't drink? Evelyn Blunt: No, I tried it once and didn't like it. Vic Flange: Smoke? Evelyn Blunt: I tried it once and didn't like it. Vic Flange: Strange. Evelyn Blunt: Not at all, my daughter is just the same. Vic Flange: Your only child, I presume!
The Great Escape and The Wooden Horse are two classic British World War II escape films, but what is perhaps less well known is that one of the team involved in both of the escapes that inspired them would go on to become a star of the Carry On movies.

Love the Carry Ons, favourite has to be Sid James, if only for that laugh. The whole cast were superb though, there'll never be a set of actors of film series like it again.
My wife taught Diana Copeland's grandkid when she worked in Hampstead and she donated a Bless This House picture signed by Sid James to an auction night. I was so desperate to win it I ended up bidding against myself at one point.
Had a chat with her after I got it as she said she'd sign it personally to whoever won. Said he was a lovely man and so funny to work with.
I'm not entirely sure why, but my favourite Carry On actor (rather than character), was Kenneth Connor. Was in loads of the films but rarely gets a mention.
Jim Dale is worth a mention, but my favourite actor is Sid James, and whilst it’s difficult to choose a character he played, Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond in Khyber is quality, especially the dinner party scene
My favourite film is ‘Carry on at your Convenience’ - very funny, but also a huge dose of social commentary regards Britain at the time the film was made

Its Jack Douglas, and he was only ok in Carry on Girls, but I didn't really see his need to be in any films!

It’s an inspirational story about a real hero. Can’t begin to imagine what 5 years in a POW camp must have been like.

Captain Keen - Bullocks Mr Belcher
Brother Belcher - No it's true, I haven't

Oh, and Fenella Fielding in said film
