Blue plaque for comedy star David
A blue plaque is to be erected to comedy character actor David Lodge, who died 18 months ago.
He appeared in a string of British comedy films, many alongside Peter Sellers and Norman Wisdom, as well as Spike Milligan’s Q series and once attributed his “meaty” comedy roles to "this ugly mug of mine ".
Lodge – not to be confused with the writer of the same name – appeared in more than 100 films, including Casino Royale, I'm All Right Jack, Return Of The Pink Panther, Milligan’s Running Jumping & Standing Still Film and six Carry On movies.
The Heritage Foundation is honouring him with a plaque at the home where he lived in Sydney Road, Richmond, Surrey, until his death in October 2003 at the age of 82.
