Cyril Fletcher (25 June 1913 – 2 January 2005) was an English comedian, broadcaster, pantomime impresario, actor, gardener and businessman.

The first, Odd Ode, was a comic, yet sentimental, reading of Edgar Wallace's war poem Dreamin' of Thee.

He alleged defamation when Rowan Atkinson referred to him in a Not The Nine O’Clock News sketch as “a cross eyed baboon”.

[citation needed] Fletcher was born in Watford, the son of a solicitor, who was the Friern Barnet town clerk.

[7] With his wife Betty Astell, who had been a famous beauty and very early film and television star, he ran a very successful company producing pantomimes in theatres around the country.
