Yes, he was a comic actor who started his theatrical career in Aylesbury and was noted for his comedy partnership with Ronnie Corbett in the imaginatively titled TV sketch show 'The Two Ronnies'.
I think that he really shone in the series 'Porridge' in which he played Norman Stanley Fletcher a prisoner at HM Prison Slade.
He's depicted in the sculpture as that character wearing prison issue dungarees.
'Porridge' is still being shown and I recorded an episode earlier this week.
