The scene in Welcome to earth where Jim and Eli are out on the moors waiting for the so called aliens to appear and the still have their pint glasses always makes me laugh.

I checked out a 10 minute You Tube of him and his cousins. Guess they were famous trio, similar to our, Laurel and Hardy, and Stooges! Looked like from the 70's. They were very funny. Thanks for broadening my interest in stand up.

Was he in a lot of Summer Wine episodes? I just don't recall him.

IMDb credits him with four appearances:
- The Incredible Ordeal of Norman Clegg (2002) ... Drunk

- A Leg Up for Christmas (1995) ... Villager

- Welcome to Earth (1993) ... Drunk

- Crums (1988 ) ... Drunk

But there might have been one or two where he was simply an extra and would not have been listed. But then again, I maybe doubt that.
