'''Owen John''' "'''Terry'''" '''Scott''' (4 May 1927 – 26 July 1994) was an English [[actor]] and [[comedian]] who appeared in seven of the ''[[Carry On (franchise)|Carry On films]]''.<ref name="Stevens">{{cite book |last= Stevens |first= Christopher |title= Born Brilliant: The Life of Kenneth Williams |publisher= John Murray |year= 2010 |isbn = 978-1-84854-195-5 |page=240 }}</ref> He is also best known for appearing the [[BBC1]] [[Situation comedy|sitcom]] ''[[Terry and June]]'' with [[June Whitfield]].

==Early life==
Scott was born and brought up in [[Watford]], [[Hertfordshire]]<ref name="U"/> and educated at Watford Field Junior School and [[Watford Grammar School for Boys]]. He was the youngest of three children, and the only surviving son after his brother Aubrey died when Scott was six.<ref name="U">''[[The Unforgettable]]'', ITV1, 22 September 2010</ref> After [[National Service]] in the [[Royal Navy|Navy]] at the end of [[World War II]], he briefly studied accounting.

==Career==
Scott began his acting career with appearances on radio shows such as ''[[Workers' Playtime (radio programme)|Workers Playtime]]'', which were followed by appearances on television. He gained an opportunity to perform in [[farce]] when he joined the [[Whitehall farce|Whitehall Theatre Company]]. With [[Bill Maynard]] he appeared at [[Butlins|Butlin's Holiday Camp]] in [[Skegness]], [[Lincolnshire]] and partnered him in the TV series ''[[Great Scott - It's Maynard!]]''.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/1367370/index.html |title = BFI Screenonline: Scott, Terry (1927–1994) Biography}}</ref> During the 1960s, he appeared alongside [[Hugh Lloyd]] in ''[[Hugh and I]]'' (1962–1967).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/jul/16/television.television|last=Lloyd|first=Hugh|title=Much-loved comedy actor, he went on to more serious roles |newspaper=The Guardian|date=16 July 2008|access-date=30 December 2018}}</ref> They both appeared as Ugly Sisters in pantomime at The London Palladium and Scott reappeared in the same role with [[Julian Orchard]] in later years. Scott later appeared with Lloyd in ''[[Hugh and I Spy]]'' (1968) and in the 1969 sitcom ''[[The Gnomes of Dulwich]]'' (1969) as [[gnome]]s.

Scott's novelty record "My Brother" (written by [[Mitch Murray]], released in 1962 on [[Parlophone]]) was based on a schoolboy character (he dressed in the uniform to sing it on TV). In the 1970s, he had a role in TV commercials for [[Curly Wurly]] caramel bars, in which he again appeared dressed as a schoolboy, with short trousers and cap. He repeated this performance several times on BBC TVs long-running variety show ''[[The Good Old Days (UK TV series)|The Good Old Days]]''. Scott had played a small role in the very first of the ''[[Carry On (franchise)|Carry On films]]'' series of films, ''[[Carry On Sergeant]]'' in 1958. In 1968 he returned to the series with a role in ''[[Carry On Up the Khyber]]'' (1968), playing main roles in six of the later films.

He starred alongside [[June Whitfield]] in several series of the comedy ''[[Happy Ever After (UK TV series)|Happy Ever After]]'' and its successor, ''[[Terry and June]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2011/dec/11/june-whitfield-interview|title=June Whitfield Interview|newspaper=The Guardian|date=11 December 2011|access-date=30 December 2018}}</ref> They had first worked together making a series of the sketch show ''Scott On'' (1968).<ref name="U"/> They also featured in supporting roles together in the film version of ''[[Bless This House (UK TV series)|Bless This House]]''. Although both Scott and Whitfield both made several ''Carry On'' appearances, they never appeared in the same film. From 1981 to 1992, Scott was the [[voice actor|voice]] of [[Penfold (character)|Penfold]] the [[hamster]] in the [[animated series]] ''[[Danger Mouse (1981 TV series)|Danger Mouse]]''.

==Personal life and death==
He suffered from ill health for several years in the latter part of his life. In 1979, he had a life-saving operation after a brain haemorrhage.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12735203.Terry_Scott__epitome_of_the_English_sit_com__dies_aged_67/|title=Terry Scott, epitome of the English sit-com, dies aged 67|website=HeraldScotland|language=en|access-date=2018-01-09}}</ref> He also suffered from creeping paralysis and had to wear a [[Cervical collar|neck brace]].

Scott was also 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-terry-scott-1416495.html|title=Obituary: Terry Scott|website=Independent.co.uk|access-date=24 October 2018|date=27 July 1994}}</ref> 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?".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/stars-carry-happened-next/terry-scott/|title=Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Williams, and the cast of Carry On: what happened next?|date=6 May 2017|newspaper=The Telegraph}}</ref>

When ''[[Terry and June]]'' ended in 1987, he suffered a nervous breakdown. His meltdown was in part brought on by his public confession that he had indulged in a series of affairs since his marriage to dancer Margaret Peden in 1957. The couple had four daughters: Sarah, Nicola, Lindsay and Ally.<ref name="U"/>
