He was then called up to the Royal Berkshire Regiment. He enjoyed boxing and was an amateur Flyweight champion for London and the Southern Counties. He entered a talent contest in Reading in 1944, and encouraged by Elsie and Doris Waters when they were on the same radio show, he became a warm up man on the Morecambe and Wise television show for 20 years. He married Mavis in October 1950 and had a son Robert who became a policeman.
