He also did radio work. I remember him on "Just a Minute" because I went to the same school as him and he was asked to talk about "Olim fuit Monarchorum", the Latin school song. This also blew the gaff on the fact that the contestants were pre-primed on the subjects they would talk on and perhaps even suggested them. Thanks for the video.
Back in the 80's we had a Christmas do at WBA football ground. Our boss said Don Mclean was special guest but he cancelled. So Lance had just come out of retirement and he agreed to do after dinner speech. He had a joke for all the main people at our works. Our boss later told us Lance only had 15 minutes to come up with some jokes based on the staff positions. Very clever.
Excellent work...Almost all the greats I think have gone now...😔
Keep going Mark! Voice is amazing!
He was brilliant in the 1960s always on telly!
Love everything you do Mark❤

Thanks for another intersting vid. I really enoyed watching it :-)
Another excellent biography.
Fondly remembered & much missed.
Another bit of nostalgia, I really only knew of him at the tail end of his career.
Are you going to do any more tv locations
Really enjoyed this
A nice tribute to Lance, very nice. He would appreciate it, I am sure.
Sadly he was forgotten, He was a good actor and writer but always worked on the after dinner scene.
Excellent
Nice video.
Lance Percival was a regular in the Dictionary Corner in the gameshow Countdown.
