He worked for a while as a milkman.

Career: Enfield first came to public attention appearing on Channel 4's Saturday Live as a number of different characters created with Paul Whitehouse.

In 1990, Enfield developed his BBC sketch show, Harry Enfield's Television Programme, later called Harry Enfield and Chums, with Paul Whitehouse and Kathy Burke. He has followed this up with sitcom and film work, including Kevin & Perry Go Large, but returned to the sketch format with Paul Whitehouse in 2008 in Harry & Paul (originally titled Ruddy Hell! It's Harry & Paul).

Quote: "My idea of a good Christian is a priest who can speed-read the Mass, not a semi-demented American with a permanent grin."
