A comedy writing great who amongst much script writing co-wrote the screenplay for one of my favourite old comedy films Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell. The plot of this was unceremoniously lifted for Mamma Mia! I wonder if he got a credit?

His own explanation was that he had a tendency to wave his hands around a lot when he spoke, which was not good when he was comparing a programme. Holding the clipboard helped him curb this habit.
