Career: In 1955, Scott starred in a popular sitcom with Bill Maynard called Great Scott It's Maynard, before moving into feature films, making his debut in Blue Murder At St Trinian's (1957). He followed this up with roles in a number of films, including Carry On Sergeant (1958), before returning to TV in 1962 alongside Hugh Lloyd in the sitcom Hugh and I. This programme ran for seven series. Scott teamed up with June Whitfield in 1969 for the sketch show Scott On… and five years later, they appeared together in domestic sitcom Happy Ever After. After five series, the same characters appeared in Terry and June, and this new sitcom ran for 65 episodes between 1979 and 1987. Scott appeared in a further six Carry On films, was the voice of Penfold the hamster in animated series Danger Mouse, and was a popular pantomime dame. He died on July 26, 1994 at the age of 67.

Career: Whitfield became one of BBC Radio's most beloved stars - 22 million people regularly tuned in to her show Take It From Here during the 1950s - but is probably best known for her TV appearances, and has starred alongside Frankie Howerd, Peter Sellers and Tony Hancock. Among her many comedy programmes during the first half of her career were Steptoe and Son, Hancock's Half Hour and The Benny Hill Show. Her long professional relationship with Terry Scott resulted in such series as Happy Ever After and Terry and June. She has also appeared in several Carry On films. Since then Whitfield has won acclaim in Absolutely Fabulous, The Last of the Blonde Bombshells, Jude and Mirrorball.
