Terry
Scott Trivia
- Bernard Bresslaw has the same name used by Terry Scott
in Camping, Peter Potter as he uses in Girls.
- Jim Dale was the original person in mind for the
character of Jungle Boy, but Jim had become a respected comedian and actor
and thought the grunting and groaning was beneath him, so he refused.
Terry Scott filled the part.
- Terry Scott was rehearsing for the part where Jane
lifts him up. When she did this the crew and technicians were laughing
loudly, which puzzled him as the lines weren't that funny. Only when
he finished the scene did he realise that the loin cloth wasn't covering all
it should.
- He was diagnosed with cancer in 1987. He
died from its effects at his family home in Witley, Surrey, on 26 July 1994,
at the age of 67. He said of his last illness: "I know it would be better to
give up the booze, fags and birds, but life would be so boring, wouldn't
it?"
