	Actors - Arthur Bostrom

Arthur Bostrom (born January 6 1955) is a British actor. He is most famous for his role as Officer Crabtree in the long-running BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!. The character of Crabtree was played as an idiotic English under-cover officer, disguised constantly as a French gendarme during the Second World War. Much of the character's humour derived from his supposed inability to speak good French, which, on an English-language television programme, was represented by ludicrious over-exaggeration and mis-pronunciation of ordinary words. For example, "Good Morning" would be pronounced as "Gid Moaning!" and, famously, "I was just passing round the corner" would be "I wis just pissing roond the corner". Bostrom continues to act on stage occasionally.

A tall and distinguished looking man, he was born in Rugby, Warwickshire and is a graduate of St Chad's College, University of Durham.
