Arthur Askey CBE was born 6th June 1900 and died 16th November 1982. The 成人快手 Light Programme's variety show Band Waggon propelled Arthur to stardom in 1938, leading to film roles like Charley's Aunt, as well as regular stage, panto and TV roles. The veteran performer was still working, before illness struck in the months before he died. He was famed for numerous catchphrases, including "Ay-Thang-Yew" and "Doesn't it make you want to spit?"

First broadcast on 成人快手 Radio 2 in May 1981.
