My Take
I have a soft spot for character actors like Peter Butterworth, the kind who never headline but make every scene land. His Carry On work and his turn as the Meddling Monk in Doctor Who show a performer equally at home in broad comedy and science fiction, which is rarer than it sounds. There is something quietly admirable about a craftsman who spent decades on film, children's television, and radio simply making people laugh without chasing the spotlight. Paired with his wife, impressionist Janet Brown, he feels like a fixture of a warmer, gentler era of British comedy that I genuinely miss.
