3-2-1

Biography

Londoner by birth, he began as an impressionist. He started with Danny Kaye sound-a-likes, before branching out to rock and roll stars. He introduced the last few weeks of Sunday Night At the London Palladium (see Forsyth, Bruce), which led to further compere jobs.

Most of his later stand-up material revolved around the economic crises of the 1970s (a period of British history characterised by strikes). It was written with Wally Malston, who wrote most of Ted's material for 3-2-1.

Like a lot of people in the 80s, some bad investments lost him a lot of money, but he recently enjoyed a revival thanks to a series of adverts for McDonalds.

He died in May 2001, after being treated for an irregular heartbeat condition.

Trivia

He used to play polo regularly at Cowdray Park.
