Bernard Cribbins

Bernard Cribbins was a revered English actor, comedian, and singer, whose contributions to the entertainment industry spanned an impressive seven decades. Born on December 29, 1928, in Oldham, Lancashire, he was perhaps best known for his work on British television and film, particularly for his roles in the "Carry On" series, "Doctor Who," and as the narrator of the children's program "The Wombles." However, Cribbins also had a successful singing career, often marked by his comic songs and storytelling.

In the music sphere, Bernard Cribbins enjoyed chart success in the 1960s with novelty songs such as "The Hole in the Ground" and "Right Said Fred," both becoming staples that showcased his penchant for humor and narrative. His ability to endear audiences with his wit and warmth was further demonstrated through his spoken word and musical recordings. His project "A Combination Of Cribbins," originally released in the mid-1960s and later remastered and reissued for contemporary audiences, is a testament to his enduring appeal. The album, "A Combination of Cribbins (Remastered)," coupled with "One Thousand And One Nights - Sinbad The Sailor And Other Stories," illustrates how Cribbins’s vocal performances could enchant listeners with charm and captivate them with tales, cementing his legacy not only as a treasured actor but as a talented artist in the world of music and storytelling.
