British comedy actor and writer George Layton is 80 today.

H4586-L111288732.jpg

After a few minor supporting roles his bigbreak came when he was cast as Doctor Paul Collier in 1969's Doctor in the House, a role he reprised in subsequent 'Doctor' series, '...at Large', '...in Charge' and '...at the Top' (he'd also had small a role in that other 'Doctor' programme, as technician Penn). He also began writing for the 'Doctor...' series and other writing credits included My Brother's Keeper, Nearest & Dearest, Executive Stress and Don't Wait Up.

 

He continued in acting, with a starring role as Bombardier Solly Solomons, in It Ain't Half Hot, Mum. before leaving at the end of the second season. He had two guest appearances in The Sweeney and a recurring role in Minder (which he says he lost because he took a break to appear in panto), and was one of the original hosts of That's Life.

 

Other works include voiceover & narration for cartoons, TV commercials (Sydney of The Tetley Tea-folk) stage acting & directing and author of childrens books.

 

Another It Ain't Half Hot Mum alumnus, Stuart McGugan, is exactly one year younger.

Iconic TV classic Tutti Frutti set to return to screens after more than ...

IAHHM was his big break, playing concert-party strongman Gunner 'Atlas' Mackintosh - made to appear bigger by positioning him in close proximity to Don Estelle and Melvyn Hayes. Alongside his IAHHM appearances he was also a presenter on children's TV series Play School, from which he was nearly fired for drop-kicking Humpty over the set. Another major role was as Bomba MacAteer in the drama Tutti Frutti (alongside Robbie Coltrane & Emma Thompson) and then a regular role alongside Robert Carlyle in Hamish Macbeth
