Bernard Cribbins

Bernard Joseph Cribbins, OBE (born 29 December 1928 in Oldham, Lancashire, England; died 28 July 2022) was an English actor, comedian, and singer whose career spanned over 70 years. During the 1960s, Cribbins became known in the UK for his successful novelty records including "The Hole in the Ground" and "Right Said Fred", and made appearances in comedy films including Two-Way Stretch (1960) and the Carry On series. He appeared as Albert Perks in The Railway Children (1970), as barman Felix Forsythe in Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy (1972) and as pretentious hotel guest Mr. Hutchinson in the Fawlty Towers episode "The Hotel Inspectors" (1975). He narrated the BBC children's television programme The Wombles (1973–1975) and was a regular and prolific reader for the BBC series Jackanory from 1966 to 1991.

Our Disappearing Planet organised a private signing with Mr Cribbins and I ordered a personalised Fawlty Towers photo back in August 2020. Unfortunately Mr Cribbins signed and personalised a Dr Who photo for me instead of the one I had requested. As I had already waited five or six months for it, I agreed with Our Disappearing Planet to just sent me the personalised Dr Who photo and one of the Fawlty Towers ones they had in stock.
