I believe the catchphrase "Ding-dong" actually belongs to Leslie Phillips. Lee M 11:25, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes it did. I've changed it to "Good show!" which was one of his. Jihg 11:20, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hyphen

I thought the hyphen in Terry-Thomas was a typo, but lots of sources spell it this way. I know he changed it from Thomas Terry, but anybody know the story behind the hyphen? Jihg 11:20, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Possibly migrated from his surname to acknowledge its original "double-barreled" status? Lee M 01:48, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The Italian website linked below sort of explains it (in bad English). — sjorford++ 11:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, we definitely need some sort of explanation or at least acknowledgment of the unusual format. I actually came to the page looking for an answer... Phyte 15:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect link

The link to "The Green Man" is incorrect. It should point to the 1956 film and not the book written in 1969. 195.173.4.13 12:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed. I have this film on DVD; it is about a series of murders, and not about a ghost.


[edit] Terry Thomas sign

The image of the comedian's gaped teeth is known in the medial field particularly orthopedics and emergency medicine as the Terry Thomas sign. The most frequent reference is mentioned as a abnormal gap in the bones of the wrist indicating one of the bones having slipped out of place [[1]]. It also refers to a similar appearance of the bones in the Lisfranc injury in the foot [[2]]. Joecool94 04:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parkinson's disease

Did he have Parkinson's disease or Motor neuron disease? Wikipedia seems confused. - Kittybrewster (talk) 10:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
