Bernard Bresslaw was an English actor
best known for his comedy work. His catchphrase, in
his strong Cockney accent, was 'I only arsked.' (sic),
first used in The Army Game, and later revived in Carry
On Camping (1969).
He was a very tall man, exactly 6'7" (2.01 m),
the biggest of the Carry On team, head-and-shoulders
over fellow Carry On regular, Barbara Windsor, who
is 4'10" (1.47 m). He was married to dancer Betty
Wright from 1959 until his death, and they had three
sons. |
