For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Freddie 'Parrot Face' Davies was a holiday camp comic who shot to national fame after appearences on 'The Val Doonican Show' and 'Opportunity Kncoks'.
It's a sign of how much tastes and subtlety in humour have changed - Mr Davies' habbit of pulling an overlarge bowler hat over his ears, and gurning at the camera raspberrying "I Thhay....parrott faittth!" used to send the watching nations into paroxysms of glee - these days you'd get bottled off as a stand-up if ytou tried something as obvious and 'one-trcik' as that.
No matter - Mr Davies has had a successful film and TV career, and is now available as an after-dinner speaker.
