And the fourth and final new Tory member of the DCMS Select Committee is Giles Watling, 64, MP for Watling, still presumably getting BBC residuals from 49 episodes of "Bread", in which he played The Reverend Oswald Carter, and one episode of "Allo, Allo!", in which he played Major Twistleton-Smythe.
The Major lead the British occupation of Nouvion, in "A Winkle In Time", featuring this memorable dialogue.
Major Twistleton-Smythe: Ree-nee Ah-toys, in recognition of your daring work for the resistance, I'm empowered by his majesty, King George, to award you the MBF medal, or "Magnificent Brother of France."
René Artois: Oh, Thank you!
Major Twistleton-Smythe: [aside, to his 2nd in command] Don't tell him it really stands for "Mad Bloody Frog."
Giles is the son of Jack, and younger brother of Dilys and Deborah (who died in July). He started as a child thesp in Gideon's Way.
