Peter Glaze (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William George Peter Glaze (17 September 1917 - 20 February 1983) was an English comedian born in London. He hosted Crackerjack with Leslie Crowther in the 1960s and with Michael Aspel, Don Maclean, and Bernie Clifton in the 1970s. In Crackerjack sketches, he usually played a pompous or upper-class character, who would always get exasperated with his comedy partner Don Maclean during the course of the sketch. Maclean would then give an alliterative reply, such as "Don't get your knickers in a knot" or "Don't get your tights in a twist," the combination of which ("Don't get your knickers in a twist") has passed into popular vernacular. He regularly uttered the expression "D'oh ," long before it became associated with cartoon character Homer Simpson.
