Is Mike Parker (Letters, November 27) losing his marbles?

How could anyone have a favourite goon, with Messrs Bentine, Milligan and Sellers on hand, all equal to Secombe.

How can one compare Don Estelle with a marvellous, rich baritone voice like Dick Haymes?

Don was very good singer but at the other end of the musical scale.

As for keeping a straight face, he was always the butt of the joke.

And if Mike prefers Max Bygraves singing A Pink Toothbrush to Dick Haymes singing It Had To Be You, his musical knowledge needs a boost.
