Marty feldman six degrees of separation series#
The television sketch comedy series At Last the 1948 Show raised Feldman's profile as a performer. He co-wrote the much shown "Class" sketch with John Law, in which John Cleese, Ronnie Barker, and Ronnie Corbett faced the audience, with their descending order of height suggesting their relative social status as upper class (Cleese), middle class (Barker), and working class (Corbett). This work placed Feldman and Took "in the front rank of comedy writers" according to Denis Norden.įeldman became the chief writer and script editor on The Frost Report (1966–67). The last series of Round the Horne in 1968 was written by other hands. For BBC radio they wrote Round the Horne (1964–67), their best-remembered comedy series, which starred Kenneth Horne and Kenneth Williams. They wrote a few episodes of The Army Game (1960) and the bulk of Bootsie and Snudge (1960–62), both situation comedies made by Granada Television for the ITV network. In 1954, Feldman first met Barry Took, while they were both working as performers, and with Took he eventually formed an enduring writing partnership which lasted until 1974.
