Michael BentineMichael Bentine (January 26 1922 - November 26 1996) was a comedian, comic actor, and member of the Goons. Bentine was born in Watford, of Anglo-Peruvian parentage. In World War II he served as an RAF Intelligence officer, and took part in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He had acted before the war, and afterwards he decided to become a comedian, specialising in off-the-wall humour, often involving cartoons and other types of animation. For example, a prominent feature of his series, It's a Square World, was the imaginary flea-circus. He was also a television presenter and writer. He appeared in the Goon Show film Down Among the Z Men, and at the time seemed perhaps the most comfortable of the cast in working in a visual medium. In later life, his interests included parapsychology. This partly arose as a result of the premature death of his son. Appeared in: External link - http://www.rbadsign.demon.co.uk/michaelbentine.html
