Terry Scott Life

Owen John "Terry" Scott, born in 1927, appeared in seven Carry On films.

Terry and June Whitfield were also appearing in BBC1's domestic sitcom Terry and June Whitfield.

Early life

Scott was born and raised in Watford, Hertfordshire, and attended Watford Field Junior School and Watford Grammar School for Boys. He was the youngest of three children and the only living son after his brother Aubrey died when Scott was six years old. He briefly studied accounting after serving in the Navy at the time of World War II.

Personal life and death

In the latter part of his life, he suffered from ill health for many years. After a brain haemorrhage in 1979, he underwent a life-saving surgery. He also suffered from recurring paralysis and was forced to wear a neck brace.

In 1987, Scott was first diagnosed with cancer. On the 26th of July 1994, he died as a result of his family's Witley, Surrey, Surrey's effects at the age of 67. "I know it will be safer to give up the booze, fags, and birds, but it would be so boring, wouldn't it?" he said of his last illness. "That's what I'm talking about."

Terry and June 1989 had a nervous breakdown. His meltdown was triggered in part by his public admission that he was involved in a string of affairs dating back to dancer Margaret Peden in 1957. Sarah, Nicola, Lindsay, and Ally were the couple's four children.

Terry Scott Career

Career

Scott began his acting career with appearances on radio shows such as Workers Playtime and others, which were followed by television appearances. When he joined the Whitehall Theatre Company, he had the opportunity to appear in farce. Bill Maynard appeared at Butlin's Holiday Camp in Skegness, Lincolnshire, and partnered him in the TV series Great Scott - It's Maynard! He appeared alongside Hugh Lloyd in Hugh and I (1962-1967). Both performed in pantomime at The London Palladium and Scott Reapparared in the same role as Julian Orchard in later years. Scott appeared in Hugh and I Spy (1968) and as gnomes in the 1970 sitcom The Gnomes of Dulwich (1969).

Scott's "My Brother" (written by Mitch Murray, 1962 on Parlophone) was based on a schoolboy theme (he wore the uniform to sing it on television). In the 1970s, he was active in television commercials for Curly Wurly caramel bars, in which he appeared as a schoolboy, with short trousers and cap. On BBC TV's long-running variety show The Good Old Days, he repeated this appearance several times. Scott was only involved in Carry On Films' very first film collection, Carry On Sergeant. In 1968, he returned to the series with a role in Carry On Up the Khyber (1968), starring principal roles in six of the later films.

Terry and June appeared alongside June Whitfield in many of the comedy Happy Ever After and its successor, Terry and June. They had worked together on a sketch show Scott On (1968), which was the first time they met together. In the film version of Bless This House, they also appeared in supporting roles together. Although both Scott and Whitfield appeared in numerous Carry On films, they never appeared in the same film. Scott was Penfold the hamster in the animated film Danger Mouse from 1981 to 1992.

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last night's TV: Proof oldies can cut it on a TV contest - and they've got better stories to tell

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 22, 2024
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Fifty years ago, they were the butt of the joke, more often than not. But we're finally learning to appreciate the strong women of vintage sitcoms. Watch an episode of Fawlty Towers now and it's the magnificent Prunella Scales who dominates many scenes. And far from being a downtrodden housewife in Happy Ever After, June Whitfield is the mainstay of that show, not her onscreen hubby Terry Scott. Greatest of them all was Penelope Keith as The Good Life's arch snob, Margo Leadbetter, a woman with a voice so strident she could make flowerbeds stand to attention. Woodwork teacher Neil named her as his inspiration for a 1970s-style dress with a pageboy collar, as The Great British Sewing Bee returned. 'I didn't appreciate it at the time,' he admitted, 'but Margo was a fashion icon.'

How 80s sitcom Terry and June is the latest British series to be slapped with trigger warnings after TV shows including Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses and 'Allo 'Allo also fell foul of snowflakes

Classic 80s sitcom Terry and June has become the latest TV show to be hit with a trigger warning for 'discriminatory language' after Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses and 'Allo 'Allo also fell foul of snowflakes. The hugely-popular show was originally broadcast on BBC1 from 1979 to 1987 with nine series. It starred Terry Scott and Dame June Whitfield as a middle-aged, middle-class suburban couple, Terry and June Medford, who live in Purley. Most of the 65 episodes were written by John Kane, with seven other writers also contributing some episodes. Now ITV has advised viewers on its streaming service that the early-evening classic  has 'discriminatory language of the period'.

ROGER LEWIS: What in the name of Satan has sweet 70s sitcom Terry and June done to be cancelled by the wokearati?

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 25, 2024
But I am still flummoxed by the news about the BBC TV sitcom Terry And June, which first hit our screens in 1979, starring Terry Scott and June Whitfield as a middle-class, middle-aged couple living in the suburbs. On its website, the streaming service Britbox, which allows us to view the show, has decided to warn subscribers that it 'contains discriminatory language of the period'. It must be the maddest trigger warning yet issued.
