Happy 89th Birthday, Bernard Cribbins!! 
December 29, 1928 in Oldham, Lancashire, England
Thanks for everything, so far...
Character actor, voice-over artist and musical comedian with a career spanning over seventy years. He came to prominence in films of the 1960s, and has been in work consistently since his professional debut in the mid-1950s.
Cribbins narrated The Wombles, a BBC children's television programme that ran for 60 episodes between 1973 and 1975, and the belligerent barman in Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy (1972). He also recorded several novelty records in the early 1960s and was a regular and prolific performer on the BBC's Jackanory from 1966 to 1991. Having appeared as Tom Campbell, a companion to Doctor Who in the 1966 feature film Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D., Cribbins also appeared four decades later as Wilfred Mott, a companion to television's Tenth Doctor.
Cribbins appeared in films from the early 1950s, mainly comedies. His credits include Two-Way Stretch (1960) and The Wrong Arm of the Law (1963) with Peter Sellers, Crooks in Cloisters (1964) and three Carry On films – Carry On Jack (1963), Carry On Spying (1964) and Carry On Columbus (1992). Other appearances include She in 1965; The Railway Children (1970, as Mr Albert Perks, the station porter). Later films include Dangerous Davies – The Last Detective (1981), Blackball (2003) and Run for Your Wife (2012).
Frenzy 1972
Two-Way Stretch 1960

Cribbins was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to drama.
In 2014 he was awarded the J.M. Barrie award for his "lasting contribution to children’s arts".
As the very annoying and demanding guest in Fawlty Towers.
