Harry H. Corbett, OBE (28 February 1925 – 21 March 1982) was an English actor.
Corbett was best known for his starring role in the popular and long-running BBC Television sitcom Steptoe and Son in the 1960s and 1970s. Corbett was regarded as one of Britain's first Method actors and early in his career he was dubbed "the English Marlon Brando" by some sections of the British press.
Corbett was born in Rangoon, Burma, where his father, George, was serving as a company quartermaster sergeant in the South Staffordshire Regiment of the British Army, stationed at a cantonment as part of the Colonial defence forces. Corbett was sent to Britain after his mother Mary died of dysentery when he was 18 months old. He was then brought up by his aunt, Annie Williams, in Earl Street, Ardwick, Manchester and later on a new council estate in Wythenshawe. He attended Ross Place and Benchill Primary Schools; although he passed the scholarship exam for entry to Chorlton Grammar School, he was not able to take up his place there and instead attended Sharston Secondary School.

We believe this is the last TV interview with Yootha Joyce. It's from the 15th July 1980, and Yootha and Brian Murphy are in Jersey promoting the film of George and Mildred, which had just been released. The interview is preceded by a (badly telecinied) clip from the film, which accompanied the interview on original broadcast. Sadly, Yootha was admitted to hospital soon after and died just over a month later on the 24th August 1980.
