Charlie Chester MBE (26 April 1914 – 26 June 1997) was an English comedian, radio and television presenter and writer, broadcasting almost continuously from the 1940s to the 1990s.
His first job after leaving education was as a grocer's errand boy, but he won talent competitions for his musical instrument playing and singing.
Working as a travelling salesman for an embroidery company, Chester realised he had the gift of the gab and decided to become a professional comedian.
A later recurring mini-serial in the show was "Whippit Kwik the Cat Burglar", whose whistled signature tune made Chester a national favourite.
Tenor St Clair was replaced by Ferrari, known as "The Voice", and for whom Chester wrote the signature song "When Love Descended like an Angel".
