Heyday was 60s/70s. He was best at parodying shows and films and taking the mick out of his fellow Scots and their ways. A famous 60s production was Parliamo Glasgow. He had an unerring eye for voices and it has to be said he loved dressing up!

He did an excellent Hudson and Mrs Bridges from Upstairs Downstairs.
