  • Eric Sykes, CBE (born 4 May 1923) is an English radio, television and film writer, actor and director whose performing career has spanned more than 50 years. He is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant figures in British radio and TV comedy in the latter 20th century and he frequently wrote for and/or performed with many other leading comedy performers and writers of the period including Tony Hancock, Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, John Antrobus and Johnny Speight. Sykes first came to prominence through his many radio credits as a writer and actor in the 1950s, most notably through his work on The Goon Show. He became a TV star in his own right in the early 1960s when he co-starred with Hattie Jacques in several popular BBC comedy television series. A trademark of Sykes' work is the idea of taking a single comic idea to its extremes, as epitomised by what is probably his best remembered work, the famous slapstick routine "The Plank".
  • Eric Sykes, né le 4 mai 1923 à Oldham, est un acteur, scénariste et réalisateur britannique, connu principalement pour ses très nombreux rôles dans des comédies britanniques pendant ses 50 premières années. En plus d'être face à la scène, Sykes fut également à la radio pendant les années 1950.
  • Ampiamente riconosciuto come una figura chiave non pubblicizzata dietro molta della commedia inglese degli ultimi cinquanta anni, è forse conosciuto meglio per le sue sitcom televisive sulla BBC con Hattie Jacques e Deryck Guyler, dal titolo Sykes. Comunque era famoso alla radio durante gli anni '50, sia dietro le quinte che davanti al microfono.
