Hugh played Teddy Tranter's Twin, Toby in the episode "Stackton Tressel - The Movie"

Hugh Paddick was born on the 22nd August 1915 in Hoddeston, Hertfordshire. He was the son of a farmer and began his professional life in law but soon discovered that his preference was for the theatre audience rather than that of a courtroom.

With the coming of the war, in 1939, Hugh joined the Royal Artillery where as a commissioned officer he served until he was demobbed in 1945, when he returned to acting. After a spell in rep at the Camberwell Palace and the Liverpool Playhouse he joined the musical comedy Two Bouquets, which enjoyed a long run in the West End at the Piccadilly Theatre,

He starred in many other West End plays, including the role of Colonel Pickering in My Fair Lady, at Drury Lane and Sandy Wilson's The Boy Friend. His later work in the radio comedies Beyond Our Ken and Round The Horne was much applauded. He was more than able to handle Kenneth Williams overpowering moments and found an eternal fame though his portrayal of Julian to Kenneth's Sandy.

Round The Horne displayed Paddick's adept knack of acting comedy, and his portrayal of characters such as Binkie Huckabuck (a faded matinee idol), Colonel Brown-Horrocks, Gnomeclencher, and many more, aided to the series being regarded as a milestone in broadcast comedy.

In 1969, following Kenneth Horne's death, the show was renamed Stop Messing About, and Hugh Paddick starred in the series until its end in 1970. It was less well received than Round The Horne, but gave Paddick another platform to air the much loved characters, Julian Ands Sandy - with Kenneth Williams.

He appeared in several films, including the celluloid version of The Boy Friend, in 1954. He also took part in two Frankie Howerd movies; Up Pompeii (1971) and Up The Chastity Belt (1971).

He recently attained a new following after he starred opposite Kenneth Connor as part of the camp theatricals training the Prince of Wales in Blackadder The Third (BBC TV). He remained a quiet man who never sought publicity but left a great deal of work to speak for itself.
