Cad, bounder, rotter and an absolute shower! Terry-Thomas was one of the most popular and best-known comedians in post-war Britain. A broad and rich career on stage, television and radio, he exported his portrayal of the silly-ass Englishman from British films such as Private's Progress, Carlton-Browne of the F.O. and I'm All Right Jack to Hollywood, where he depicted an upper-class English twit in a number of films, including It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and How to Murder Your Wife. This record of his professional work has recently been split away from the main T-T page as it was out of place there and not a full reflection of his work. Aside from that, we are now nominating this for featured list status because we believe that it now satisfies the criteria.

- Support on prose and images. Another solid list. Perhaps you could simply write ENSA, with a link to the organisation? I usually write Lekra, and not Lembaga Kebudajaan Rakjat, for example. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:43, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Many thanks indeed for your comments and support - both are most welcome and appreciated. Good plan on the ENSA pipe, which I've now done. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 06:58, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I must remember to watchlist articles. Sorry, I missed your comments Crisco. All the changes look great and I thank you for your support. -- CassiantoTalk 15:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Many thanks TRM: as always, your eagle eye is very much appreciated! Let me know if I've missed anything or cocked anything else up. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 21:01, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Well written, looks comprehensive, solid sources, there doesn't seem to be anything here to trip up its FL promotion. Betty Logan (talk) 21:05, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Many thanks for your comments, Betty; they are very much appreciated, as always! - SchroCat (talk) 07:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
Space is needed before Technical Hitch in the lead.
- Good spot: now done. - SchroCat (talk) 07:25, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alt text would be nice for the photos.Giants2008 (Talk) 01:35, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Your wish is my command! Alts now added throughout (and one swap done on the final image - it was a weak one previously).
- Many thanks for your comments Giants - much appreciated as always. - SchroCat (talk) 07:25, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Likewise Giants. Thanks for taking a look and for your support. --CassiantoTalk 17:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Looks good to me. I have made some edits here; please revert if you don't like the changes.
Ah yes, now done. I think I caught them all. -- CassiantoTalk 08:01, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Other than that, it looks pretty good. Incidentally, I've got my own FLC: List of UK Official Download Chart number-one singles from the 2000s. If you have the time, I welcome any comments on it. Thanks very much! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 23:42, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Only one final issue: My Wildest Dreams needs to be below 1-2-3 Click in the Television table. Otherwise, great work! Might be about time that these particular lists get their own subsection on the WP:FL page, although I can't think what the title of that subsection would be... A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:31, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As always, many thanks for your time; the Wildest Dreams move has now been done too. I like the thought of a new section: I'm working on a similar piece for David Niven's work at the moment, and have a few others I'd like to bring in over time. "Career histories" as a title, perhaps?

*Comment - "By the 1980s, the disease had got progressively worse and effectively ended his career by the mid-1980s." I realize I happen to use American English myself, but even in British English, isn't the phrase "had got" something to avoid? I think this should be reworded, otherwise this list has my support.
