Sad to read about the passing of British film comedy stalwart Ian Carmichael. He will be forever remebered by film fans as the stuttering, nervous innocent or upper class twit in a strong run of films including Lucky Jim, I'm Alright Jack and especially School For Scoundrels, where he memorably turns the tables on rogueish cad Terry-Thomas and is a perennial favourite at Britcom Ltd. He was also the face of Bertie Wooster until Hugh Laurie usurped that particular crown and is probably still the best known Lord Peter Wimsey. He was a deserved recipient of an OBE in 2003 and leaves behind a legacy to be proud off.
RIP Ian .
