My Take
Windsor Davies is the sort of character actor I treasure, the kind who could command a scene with voice and presence alone. Playing the bellowing Battery Sergeant Major across the entire run of It Ain't Half Hot Mum is no small feat; sustaining one indelible character for years takes real craft. What delights me is that he and his co-star even rode that fame to a UK number-one single, proving he was more than a one-note performer. As a Welshman from Canning Town, he carried a distinctive warmth beneath the gruffness. He passed in 2019, but that booming voice still echoes for anyone who heard it.
