Most people will know Les from his almost saintly help he offers contestants in 'Family Fortunes', but few realise Les was central to the tight-nit community that was 'The Russ Abbott Show'. This team of crack comedians brought British comedy forward in much the same way that the Goons or the Monty Python team did. Les' impressions of Mavis off Coronation Street are often forgot by todays youthful audiences. With his comedy partner Dustin Gee, Little Baby Jesus rest his soul, Les helped to create todays TV comedy. a heritage we can still see in such acts as Jim 'send em all back' Davidson and the much missed Benny Hill. At the left you will find links that take you through Les' life and help to shed some light on this loved British comedian-turned-game-show-host.
