Tim Brooke-Taylor
Timothy Julian Brooke-Taylor OBE (born 17 July 1940) is an English comic actor. He became active in performing in comedy sketches while at Cambridge University, and became President of the Footlights club, touring internationally with the Footlights revue in 1964. Becoming wider known to the public for his work on BBC Radio with ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'', he moved into television with ''At Last the 1948 Show'' working together with old Cambridge friends John Cleese and Graham Chapman. He is most well known as a member of The Goodies, starring in the television series throughout the 1970s and picking up international recognition in Australia and New Zealand. He has also appeared as an actor in various sitcoms, and has been a panellist on ''I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'' for over 40 years.
==Early life and education==
Brooke-Taylor was born in Buxton, Derbyshire, England, the grandson of Francis Pawson, a parson who played centre forward for England's football team in the 1880s.〔(The Goodie Life ) Retrieved 12 February 2010〕 His mother was an international lacrosse player and his father a solicitor. He was expelled from primary school at the early age of five and a half. Brooke-Taylor was then schooled at Thorn Leigh Pre-Preparatory School, Holm Leigh Preparatory School (where he won a cup for his prowess as a bowler in the school cricket team) and Winchester College which he left with seven O-levels and two A-levels in English and History.
After teaching for a year at Lockers Park School, a preparatory school in Hemel Hempstead and a term back at Holm Leigh School as a teacher,〔''Daily Mail'' Weekend Interview, 18 February 2012, p. 6〕 he studied at Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge. There he read Economics and Politics before changing to read Law, and mixed with other budding comedians, including John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Jonathan Lynn in the prestigious Cambridge University Footlights Club (of which Brooke-Taylor became President in 1963).〔''From Fringe to Flying Circus'' – 'Celebrating a Unique Generation of Comedy 1960–1980' – Roger Wilmut, Eyre Methuen Ltd, 1980.〕〔''Footlights!'' – 'A Hundred Years of Cambridge Comedy' – Robert Hewison, Methuen London Ltd, 1983.〕
The Footlights Club revue, ''A Clump of Plinths'' was so successful during its Edinburgh Festival Fringe run, that the show was renamed as ''Cambridge Circus'' and the revue transferred to the West End in London, and then later taken to both New Zealand and to Broadway in the United States in September 1964.〔〔 He was also active in the Pembroke College drama society, the Pembroke Players.
