Harry Secombe , Spike Milligan in ' Dishonoured ' or ' The Fall of Neddie Seagoon '
Young Ned , driven to distraction by the humdrum lite at the Bank where he works, decides to abscond with the contents of the strong room. One night, with his pockets bulging with notes, he joins a banana boat sailing for the blue Mediterranean. But Neddie, unused to sudden wealth, begins to lose heavily to the purser at snap, until in desperation he dives overboard and swims to
India. There he loins the army and, continuing in the path of degradation, he sells military secrets to the Waziri tribesmen. Then he becomes the confidant of the notorious scourge of the North-West Frontier, the Dreaded Red Bladder.' until finally, in the foothills of the Himalayas, he meets his tragic end.
