DICTIONARY CORONER
Veteran cartoonist Bill Tidy has popped his cloggies aged 89. His best-known works were Private Eye staple The Cloggies, starring a gaggle of clog dancers, and Daily Mirror regular The Fosdyke Saga, a working-class parody of The Forsyte Saga that was so popular it received a radio adaptation from the Beeb. He often deployed his agility with the pen on the telly, and was one of the most frequent celebrity guests on Countdown’s Dictionary Corner. Laughing in the face of Death. and Tragic, our Maurice! both tidy up.
