Biography
Larry Grayson (born William Sulley White; 31 August 1923 – 7 January 1995) was an English comedian and television presenter. He hosted the BBC's Saturday-night peak-time TV game show The Generation Game in the late 1970s and early 1980s, employing his high-camp, English music hall humour. His camp stand-up act consisted primarily of anecdotes about a cast of imaginary friends including Everard, Apricot Lil, Slack Alice and Pop-it-in Pete the Postman. A museum in his home town Nuneaton documents his life and work, and a memorial has been established.
