'Eric Sykes' started as a radio scriptwriter but he soon found he could
perform as well as write. The slight handicap of being very hard of
hearing doesn't interfere with his wonderful comic timing. The
spectacles he wears have no lenses but contain a bone conducting
hearing aid.
I'm proud of being a vaudevillian, the last of my line. A lot of people think my entertainment is candy-floss. Well, entertainment is too aggressive these days, all 'in your face'.
