Nicholas Parsons - Likes to be called 'Mister Parsons' by the crew when he does stage work. Takes great umbrage if they don't.
Michael Crawford - Notorious for trying to sack everyone who doesn't "come up to my standard". When he left Phantom of the Opera, the crew presented him with a fob watch. It wasn't until much later that he discovered they'd paid an engraver to etch the word 'C**T' in tiny, tiny letters on the side of the mechanism plate.
Jimmy Tarbuck - My mum waited outside a theatre in the 1960s for this 'cheeky Scouse chappie' to emerge. There was a group of autograph hunters. When Jimmy finally faced his public, he flicked a V-sign, told them to 'p*ss off' and was hastily driven away by his chauffeur.
