Freddie Frinton and Christmas.

I miss Freddie Frinton. He was an English comedian but not as well known as Morcambe and Wise, Tommy Cooper, the two Ronnies or Tommy Handley. In Germany, Denmark, Holland and most of western Europe Freddie Frinton is much loved and admired, in fact he is required viewing every Christmas. Strange that he's revered and respected more than he is in England. I miss him. He died many years ago and is buried in Hanwell Cemetery. He brought a lot of happiness to audiences.

Wasn't he in Meet the Wife with Thora Hird? I seem to remember a drunk routine he would do
