Short Biography
William George Peter Glaze (17 September 1917 – 20 February 1983) was an English comedian born in London. He hosted Crackerjack with Leslie Crowther and Eamonn Andrews in the 1960s and with Michael Aspel, Don Maclean, and Bernie Clifton in the 1970s. In Crackerjack sketches, he usually played a pompous or upper-class character, who would always get exasperated with his partner Don Maclean during the course of the sketch. Maclean would then give an alliterative reply, such as "Don't get your knickers in a knot" or "Don't get your tights in a twist", the combination of which ("Don't get your knickers in a twist") has passed into popular vernacular. He regularly uttered the expression "D'oh!", originated by James Finlayson in Laurel and Hardy films, long before it became associated with cartoon character Homer Simpson. He was also on the panel of the long running radio panel game Twenty Questions along with Joy Adamson, Anona Winn and Norman Hackforth.
