Lionel Charles Jeffries (10 June 1926 – 19 February 2010) was an English actor, screenwriter and film director.
Jeffries attended the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wimborne Minster, Dorset. In 1945, he received a commission in the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. After his World War II service, for which he was awarded the Burma Star, he trained at RADA. He entered repertory at the David Garrick Theatre, Lichfield, Staffordshire for two years and appeared in early British television plays.
Jeffries built a successful career in British films mainly in comic character roles and as he was prematurely bald he often played characters older than himself, such as the role of father to Caractacus Potts (played by Dick Van Dyke) in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), although Jeffries was actually six months younger than Van Dyke. His acting career reached a peak in the 1960s with leading roles in other films like Two-Way Stretch (1960), The Trials of Oscar Wilde (1960), First Men in the Moon (1964) and Camelot (1967).

Classic comedy scene at the prison rock quarry with Peter Sellers, Bernard Cribbins, and David Lodge as the inmates and Lionel Jeffries as the prison officer.
A tribute and a fond remembrance of the late, great, British character actor, Lionel Jeffries, playing the role of King Pellinore in a scene with Richard Harris as King Arthur, in the movie "Camelot". Jeffries is also remembered for his role as Grandfather Potts in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". He will be greatly missed. He died on Feb 19, 2010 at the age of 83.

You Must Be Joking! is a 1965 British comedy film directed by Michael Winner. A collection of British soldiers and one US Air Force officer are tested in initiative by being given a scavenger hunt to perform. They are instructed to obtain six status symbols of the British way of life, in a sort of modern rendition of the "feats of Hercules". Among the feats to be accomplished in 48 hours are escaping from a maze, obtaining a rare rose and the hood ornament off a Rolls-Royce, and taking a lock of hair from a popular singer.
Again, apologies for the terrible sound quality and squeak but it's a very old tape. Hopefully this will bring back some memories for others who had the same tape as a child.

One of my favourite scenes from the under-appreciated film Baxter! (1973) directed by LIonel Jeffries. It tells the story of a boy with a speech impediment and the therapist (Patricial Neal) who tries to help him as he slide inexorably toward a mental breakdown. But the film also has many lighter scenes, such as this one. The film deserves a DVD release.
