MINI BIO:
Gap-toothed, dark-haired, mustachioed British comedian whose exaggerated upper-crust accent, benign but foxy expression and long cigarette holder were all part of the act. He started as a dance extra, but in post-war years gained a reputation as a stand-up comic (always prefacing his act with "How do you do") before successfully tackling character comedy on film, alternately playing blustering idiots and wily rogues. In poor health in his last years. Died from Parkinson's Disease.

[repeated line]
Major Hitchcock: They're a shower. Absolute shower.
Lucy Gordon: Billy he's a nice young man and she loves him.
Billy Gordon: Oh, don't be so ridiculous. Nobody loves a Tax Inspector. They're beyond the Pale!
Lucy Gordon: It's a most honourable profession.
Billy Gordon: Honourable? Are you kidding?
