House of Cards

David Croft
If you write a list of your 10 favorite British TV sitcom characters, probably half of them were created by comic genius David Croft. His creations include Mr Humphries (Are You Being Served?), Sergeant Major ‘Shut up’ Williams (It Ain’t Half Hot Mum) Herr Flick (Allo, Allo) and Corporal Jones (Dad’s Army). Like many great comedy writers, Croft collaborated with others including Jimmy Perry and David Floyd. Few writers though could match his creativity or career longevity. Such was Croft’s popularity that he was a regular guest on the British TV convention circuit right up until his death at the age of 89.
Paul Abbott
BAFTA and Emmy winning writer Paul Abbott, rose from humble origins to become one of the most successful writers in British TV history. His hard-hitting dramas are far removed from the idyllic world of Marple and Midsomer Murders.

Devastated X Factor champ Matt Cardle last night slammed suggestions he’d made up a tragic story about gaining four brothers insisting: “I never lied.”
During his time on the ITV show, Matt claimed that his mum Jennifer had cared for her best friend Sharon Floyd’s four sons after she was killed in a car crash. At the time Matt emotionally told a newspaper:
‘Overnight I gained four brothers.’
The winner should be celebrating his first No1 tonight but is instead caught up in a bitter feud as yesterday dad to three of the boys claimed Matt had exaggerated the sob story and the lads were just school pals and not brothers.
David Floyd told The Daily Mail:
‘It’s complete hokum. Being their father, it was me who raised my own sons after their mother died. It was a very difficult time. I also paid for all of...
