Portly comedian Terry Scott was the son of Polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott. This fact explains the ‘tears behind the laughter’ expression visible on the chubby comedy actor’s face in the 1969 feature film Carry on Camping when Barbara Windsor leaves the tent in order to put the top back on her bikini. The same melancholic expression was often evident in snowy Christmas episodes of classic 70s sitcom ‘Terry and June’.
