Mr. Knee was the translator for Field Marshal Montgomery when the German's surrendered May 1945. A really good obituary here at The Telegraph.

Edward Lever Posts: 734 Joined: 22nd Dec 2005 Location: UK | quotePosted at 20:59 on 9th June 2014 Rik Mayall, who I remember best for his character Alan B'Stard MP, presented an entertaining parody of Parliamentary life. In recent years, it seems, the real life MPs have lived up to and exceeded the limits of the comic persona. Sad to see him die so young, but at least he was spared the indignity of old age.
