Jeffrey Holland is probably best known for playing Spike in Hi-De-Hi!, also the stuffy footman James Twelvetrees in You Rang M’Lord? and as Mr. Parkin the Stationmaster in Oh, Dr. Beeching! His first TV role was in an episode of Dixon of Dock Green and his television work includes such shows as It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum, Are You Being Served?, Dad’s Army, The Mayor of Casterbridge and Russ Abbot’s Madhouse. He was in “Talent” written and directed by Victoria Wood at The Menier Chocolate Factory in London and more recently he toured the UK in “Waiting for God” and was in “Brassed Off” at the Wolverhampton Grand. His one-man show, “…and this is my friend Mr Laurel”, a play about legendary film comedian Stan Laurel, has sold out all over the UK. Now Jeffrey has written a memoir, The First Rule of Comedy which is out now and available here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Rule-Comedy-Memories-Moments/dp/1803996390
