Alan Young is remembered for playing straight man to a talking horse, but he was actually a talented singer, actor and comedian. However, this affable Tynesider also had a soft-spoken personality: a trait which is useful for playing second banana to a loquacious gee-gee, but which hardly makes for showbiz immortality.
I'm afraid I missed this series of the early 1950s. The Korean War really detracted from my television watching during those years, but I was wondering if anyone remembered the original "Alan Young Show" on the radio (NBC) in the late 1940s.
