Amongst his various roles John was 'The Phantom Raspberry Blower of old London Town' although perhaps most famously he was ' Mr Jones' the other shop assistant in the iconic Fork Handles sketch. Mr Jones appears at the end after Ronnie Corbett stalks off. John has the last line in the sketch and reveals the sign 'Billhooks'.

A copy of this letter will be provided with this script.
