you know him, you just don't know it. anyone who's ever seen 'willy wonka and the chocolate factory' no doubt remembers charlie's charismatic working-class teacher who made not only percentages but chemical reactions fun and easy to understand. i've known his face almost all of my life, but only recently did i realize how cool he was. he was one of the co-stars of neil innes's 70's BBC venture 'rutland weekend televsion.' in fact this still was taken from one of innes's musical numbers 'slaves of freedom,' which i think i've already posted. so here's to the late david battley. he was handsome, versatile, and very, very funny.
