His professional woes began when Barbra Streisand sacked him from her film The Mirror Has Two Faces because he constantly forgot his lines and insisted on hamming things up; his television sitcom, Daddy's Girls, was cancelled after a few episodes. John Bassett, a graduate of Wadham College, Oxford recommended Moore, his jazz bandmate and a rising cabaret talent, to producer Robert Ponsonby, who was putting together a comedy revue entitled Beyond the Fringe.

The trio performed regularly on British television, made numerous recordings and had a long-running residency at Peter Cook's London nightclub, the Establishment.

A fellow councillor who knows Mead well paid this tribute: “He is someone who has the town’s interests at heart, but who is unable to convince his colleagues that they should ameliorate their hard-right instincts and govern for the whole borough. Moore eventually disowned the Arthur sequel, but, in later years, Cook would tease him by claiming he preferred Arthur 2: On the Rocks to Arthur. A satirical show that was scheduled for a brief run at the Edinburgh Festival transferred to the West End, then Broadway.

The show transferred to Broadway; after it completed its run, Moore continued with his trio, and wrote music for the theatre.In 2010, together with his Conservative colleagues on the council, Mead voted through an increase in the council “allowances” (that’s “pay” in common English) that he is due to receive. Emilia Clarke reveals what her true fears were after suffering a brain haemorrhage: 'I wasn't afraid of dying. It was during the Broadway run of Good Evening that Cook persuaded Moore to take the humour of Pete and Dud further on long-playing records as Derek and Clive. He died in his New Jersey home in 2002, surrounded by his adoptive family, and was buried in their local cemetery.

Today I will be writing about a television celebrity that wasn’t human but did endear our hearts in the Chicagoland area.

In 1954, he won a music scholarship to Oxford, where he played the organ at services at the cathedral, using a specially made boot with a two-inch platform. Roy Brown, who performed as Cooky The Clown on Bozo’s Circus, was the voice and puppeteer of Cuddly Dudley.

Raised on a council estate in Dagenham, East London, Dudley, who was born with club feet, had gone on to win an organ scholarship to Oxford University. It was a dream come true when, many years later, in November 1980, after I had moved to Los Angeles and was working as a photo-journalist, I was entrusted with the assignment to photograph Dudley Moore in his Marina Del Rey home for the magazine Intro.

Still, despite the flops, there have been only a few stars who could boast two such very big hits in movie history.As Hanks star waxed, Moore's star waned, and by 1985 he was reduced to playing an elf in Santa Claus: The Movie (1985), one of the all time turkeys. Moore had been interviewed for The New York Times in 1987 by the music critic Rena Fruchter, herself an accomplished pianist, and the two became close friends.
