Hugh William Paddick (22 August 1915 – 9 November 2000)〔 〕 was an English actor, whose most notable role was in the 1960s BBC radio show ''Round the Horne'', in sketches such as "Charles and Fiona" (as Charles) and "Julian and Sandy" (as Julian).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Radio/Round the Horne - Television Tropes & Idioms )〕 Both he and Kenneth Williams are largely responsible for introducing the underground language polari to the British public.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC - h2g2 - Polari - the Secret Language - A10357832 )〕 Paddick also enjoyed success as Percival Browne in the original West End production of ''The Boy Friend'', in 1954.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Boy Friend (Original London Cast 1954) )〕 ==Biography== Born in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, Paddick preferred theatre to any other form of acting and spent most of his life on the stage, from his first role while at acting school in 1937〔(Times Digital Archive )〕 until his retirement. He appeared in the original Drury Lane production of ''My Fair Lady''. He was also an accomplished musician – singer, pianist and organist. He can be heard at the piano accompanying Julian and Sandy in a number of their sketches on both ''Round the Horne'' and ''The Bona World of Julian and Sandy''. In his diaries, Kenneth Williams, so often scathing of his colleagues, spoke warmly of Paddick's kindness as a man, and of his "subtlety and brilliance" as a performer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hugh Paddick )〕 Paddick was gay and lived for over thirty years with his partner Francis, whom he met at a party in London. The two men were keen gardeners at their west London home. He was distantly related to Brian Paddick, Britain's first openly gay police commander.〔 at the family history website of Graham Taylor-Paddick〕 Paddick died in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire in November 2000, aged 85. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugh Paddick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
