Derek Nimmo. He was a vicar, in everything, always. Fucking everywhere. I bet him and Gyles Brandreth would have been besties.
All of the goodies and Terry Scott.

While I wouldn't argue that any of the choices were a bit rubbish - who isn't? - on a point of order I don't think Harry Worth (or, at a pinch, Roy Hudd) counts as a 'minor' celeb: his sitcom was a major thing in the Sixties, attracting huge audiences.

On the Guardian Talk forums of 20 years or so ago, there was a similar thread entitled "Cultural Colossi - where are they now?"

Got to have a bit of residual respect for Kenny. Wrote 'Sha La La La Lee', 1st person to cover a Fabs tune ('Misery') and was on the cover of 'Band On The Run'. Bit too pally with Tarby though.. |

 Fred Travelena was an impressionist from the mid to late 1970's and was appallingly awful. He would do Jimmy Carter, come out with a big toothy grin like old Jimbo, and say, "Hi, I'm Jimmy Carter." First of all, the president of the United States wouldn't have to tell you his name, but Fred mentioned it because you'd have no idea who he was supposed to be otherwise. While I'm mentioning impressionists, Rich Little's Richard Nixon sounded more like Boris Karloff than Tricky Dick. |
