Fletcher, Cyril

Fletcher, Cyril
▪ 2006
 British entertainer (b. June 25, 1913, Watford, Hertfordshire, Eng.—d. Jan. 2, 2005, St. Peter Port, Guernsey), appeared regularly on BBC radio and television for more than six decades. Fletcher first introduced his witty “Odd Odes” on BBC TV's new service in 1937; he later revived his brand of comic rhymes—which he described as “unique in their feeble banality”—on That's Life (1970–81). Fletcher was a regular on the panel game show What's My Line? in the 1950s and starred in several other programs, notably The Cyril Fletcher Show (1959). He also wrote gardening books, designed ornamental gardens, and served as the host of a radio advice program and a series of TV gardening shows.
