Terry flings open the doors of the wardrobe, to let us see his 155 waistcoats, 82 lounge suits, 24 dinner jackets, 38 pairs of suede shoes and 96 ties. "D'you know," he says amiably, "people in the press accuse me of being a bit of a spendthrift, especially on clothes. But really, if it wasn't for my taste in clothes, I would never have been given the boot by the Union Cold Storage Company, and I might still be working there now, as some beastly manager or something. And living in Finchley, heaven forbid! I mean, really, can you imagine it?"
Try as we do, none of us can quite imagine him living in Finchley, a drab part of north London that has not distinguished itself in any way, other than by producing Terry-Thomas.
