      TV: Co-wrote Christmas (70)

      Born in London in 1915, screenwriter Sid Colin specialised in comedy for screen and radio, but upon leaving school pursued a musical career. He taught himself the banjo and joined a touring group, playing and singing around the country.

      During the war, he served six years in The Squadronnaires, the RAF’s dance orchestra, playing guitar and writing shows, during which time he met Denis Norden and Frank Muir with whom he’d later work on numerous occasions.

      After the war, he quit touring and began concentrating on his writing career, but not before he tried making a living as an artist. Colin painted, drew and sculpted all his life and eventually found work designing covers for sheet music. But his future lay in scriptwriting and he soon began writing for radio, film and, later, television.

      Among his writing credits for radio are Life With the Lyons, while on television his output includes the series How Do You View?, Before Your Very Eyes, The Army Game and Love Thy Neighbour. His film work included One Good Turn, I Only Arsked!, and the Frankie Howerd films Up the Chastity Belt, Up Pompeii and Up the Front. One of his last screenplays was 1982’s The Boys in Blue. Also a lyricist, he penned songs for films such as Up the Front and Bottoms Up.

      He died in 1989, aged seventy-four.
