Patrick Campbell, 3rd Baron Glenavy

Patrick Gordon Campbell, 3rd Baron Glenavy (6 June 1913 – 9 November 1980) was an Anglo-Irish journalist, humorist, television personality, and peer, with a seat in the House of Lords from 1963 until his death.

Campbell spoke with a stammer, but delighted television audiences with his wit, notably as a regular team captain on the long-running show Call My Bluff, opposite his longtime friend Frank Muir.

[2] Muir noted that "When he was locked solid by a troublesome initial letter he would show his frustration by banging his knee and muttering 'Come along!

In his obituary, The Times said of Campbell thatIn his writing his quizzical eye fastened on a score of subjects from hoteliers to taxi drivers to children and General de Gaulle (of whom he was said to give a more than passable imitation) and suddenly a new facet of character would appear to tickle the fancy of his admiring readers.

Campbell stood six feet five inches tall, and several of his funniest pieces dealt with the problems faced by a man of his build in merely finding shoes or clothes that would fit him.
