Uncle Albert: A London Icon
Here is a tribute to Uncle Albert, the legendary Buster Merryfield! While Albert was famous for his “During the war…” stories and pub-cellar mishaps, Buster was a real-life WWII veteran who didn’t even start acting until age 57.
Only Fools and Horses remains a masterclass in British comedy, famously drawing a record 24.3 million viewers when the Trotters finally became millionaires. It’s a fascinating irony that if Del Boy had simply kept his Peckham council flat and Ford Capri, he’d be a millionaire in today’s trendy London market anyway!
As a London caricaturist, I love capturing these quintessentially British characters. Whether in the heart of Peckham or a City boardroom, I bring that same classic London wit to every sketch.
