The doctor's wife thing seems distantly familiar, the rest - nothing

Then if it wasn't Sexton Blake was it Dick Barton? I always did mix those two up!

[Peter.N.]

Yep, Dick Barton and ITMA but who was that man?

In "Much Binding in the Marsh" there was (according to Wikipedia) a Mr. Blake the sexton, just to add to the confusion!

I didn't know that James but who were the two main characters?

My best effort there Peter

Regards Neil

[mickthemaverick]

Reading Neil's answer there for ITMA and the initials triggered a thought, was it Tommy Handley rather than Tony Hancock?

[NewcastleFalcon]

Decent finish from me, but poor start on looking a few up!

Regards Neil

[Peter.N.]

Niel

Your on the right track with Kenneth Horn but wrong programme

Mick

Tommy Handley is correct. Died quite suddenly I remember quite a shock for me I was only a kid.

I will give the rest of the answers tomorrow - if they haven't all appeared.
