If young people have heard of him it is just as lily allens dad.

Me! Well my maiden name anyway . There was a famous actress with my name, with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I had frequent comments growing up until I changed my surname.
You never hear of her anymore.

They must be getting on a bit.

Think Basil Brush has long since left us, though.
