Derek Griffiths appeared in numerous children's television programmes
in the 1960s and 70s and is fondly remembered by a whole generation of
(now grown up) children for his whimsical comic genius and endearing
persona. A very underrated comedian also in adult features who does not
grace our screens nearly enough.
Appeared in a public information film advising bicycle owners to lock their bikes with the slogan "A Thief Would Like Your Bike".
He was awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2020 Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to Drama and Diversity in Greater London N1, England.
