Obiter is mighty impressed with readers’ knowledge of showbiz trivia. Last week’s competition asked the killer question, ‘Big-hearted’ Arthur Askey’s pre-war comedy partner went on to play a barrister in a much-loved ITV legal comedy drama. Who was he, and who was the barrister?’ Loads of you responded with the right answer, which was Richard ‘Dickie’ Murdoch, who played ‘Uncle Tom’ in Rumpole of the Bailey. The lucky winner is Katie Jones from Gough-Thomas & Scott in Shropshire. Two tickets for the musical Legally Blonde will wing their way to you soon, Katie.
