Leslie Samuel Phillips, CBE (born 20 April 1924) is a British actor who came to prominence in films in the 1950s, acting as a suave charmer with an exaggerated upper-class accent, in the style of Terry-Thomas. After a notable success in the Carry On films and the Doctor series, he moved away from comedy into character roles in the Harry Potter series and many TV sitcoms, as well as stage work.
Contrary to the impression given by his public persona, Phillips came from a background of poverty. He was born in Tottenham, north London, England, the son of Cecelia Margaret (née Newlove) and Frederick Samuel Phillips, who worked at Glover and Main, manufacturers of cookers in Edmonton; the "filthy, sulphurous" air of the factory gave Frederick a weak heart and edema, leading to his death at the age of 44. In 1931, the family moved to Chingford, then in Essex, now part of Greater London, where Phillips attended Larkswood Primary School.
It was his mother who decided that Phillips should be sent to the Italia Conti Academy to receive elocution lessons to lose his natural cockney accent. At that time a strong regional accent was a major impediment to an aspiring actor. It proved to be an astute move and by the age of 14 Phillips was the family's main breadwinner, saving his mother from squalor.
Classic BBC TV Sitcom, Casanova 73', stars Leslie Phillips as the philandering Henry Newhouse. Now, for the first time on DVD, audiences can once again enjoy Leslie Phillips at the top of his form, with all the hilarity of 70's British Farce at its height.

No excuse no one to blame Nowhere to hide The eyes of God have found my failures Found my pain He understands my weaknesses And knows my shame But His heart never leaves me. (Chorus) It's your kindness that leads us To repentance Oh Lord Knowing that You love us No matter what we do Makes us want to love You too (Repeat) Waiting for angry words to sear my soul Knowing I don't deserve another chance Suddenly the kindest words I've ever heard Come flooding from God's heart It's your kindness that leads us To repentance Oh Lord Knowing that You love us No matter what we do Makes us want to love You too If You are for us Who can be against us You gave us everything even Your only Son

IMDB Review John (opsbooks) For anyone who likes classic Brit sitcoms of the 'As Time Goes By' type, this movie will leave you with lots of laughs and a feeling of bonhomie. The larger than life James Robertson Justice, better known to fans of the 'Doctor' series of Richard Gordon book-derived movies, is always worth watching. He is one actor whose presence can keep a movie afloat no mater how bad the supporting cast. In this movie, he is ably supported by an excellent cast of English comedians, including the great Hugh Lloyd, Leslie Phillips, Ronnie Barker and so on.
Starring: Jim Dale, Leslie Phillips, June Whitfield, Bernard Cribbins, Jon Pertwee, Jack Douglas, Richard Wilson, Maureen Lipman (1992)
During the actual filming of 'Not Now Comrade', we managed to get an interview with Leslie Phillips. They were at the time, currently filming sequences at the Royal Albert Hall (London), almost metres away from our studio. As we already knew the EMI publicity team on the film it wasn't difficult to arrange for us to whisk him off the film set and into our studio. As you will see, he is still in his 'naval' costume for the film. The interviewer is Mark Caldwell and it was recorded in black and white. Please note, that the many years that have passed by have not been kind to some videotapes and you'll notice more oxide tape dropouts than usual on this recording! My colleagues at Network Distributing Ltd have recently released the film on DVD, you can find it here: http://networkonair.com/sh...

Sister Leslie Phillips speaks at Present Truth Worship Center. Message: "Greater to Greatest?" 10/11/15
Verse 1:
I don't want to love you
At least not the way you're thinking
I don't want to climb the stairs up to your room
'Cause up there in the darkness
The love that we'd reach for
Would disappear at dawn with the fading moon
Chorus:
And in the light of love
You'll see how long it takes for love to be
In the light of love
I'll wait to have you and you'll wait to have me
Verse 2:
I have lonely sunsets
Where my heart sinks into dusk
And I want someone to hold me through the night
I know that you are willing
But if it's not forever
I just can't walk away from what is right
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
And He makes it shine down from above
For man and wife to share His love
