Cyril Leonard Shaps (13 October 1923 – 1 January 2003) was an English actor.
Born in Highbury, London, Shaps was of Polish ancestry; his father was a tailor. Shaps was a child broadcaster, providing voices for radio commercials from the age of 12. After grammar school and Army service he was trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and then worked for two years as an announcer, producer and scriptwriter for Radio Netherlands. His short stature and round face then led to a steady flow of character roles in film and television in a career spanning nearly 50 years.
Shaps's film appearances included bit parts in Lawrence of Arabia (1962), as the officer's club bartender, To Sir, with Love (1967), as Mr Pinkus, and the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), as Dr Bechmann. In The Madness of King George (1994), he portrayed Dr Pepys, a royal physician obsessed with the colour of the king's stool. In 2002, at the age of 79, Shaps performed his last film roles: as a pew opener in The Importance of Being Earnest, and as concentration camp victim Mr Grun in The Pianist.

One of the very rare 'nutshell' scenes in sitcom - a scene where even a newcomer to the series can ascertain everyone's relationships and conflicts with everyone else from just a single scene. From the middle class Hutchinsons to the working class Hennesseys and their families. In this scene, Sandra and Beryl inadvertently cause a fight in the labour exchange when they allow family members to jump the queue. They all end up in court and plead guilty for convenience - except Sandra. Note: Ken Jones and Sheila Fay play Beryl's uncle and mother in this series, but were actually married in real life. Ken Jones and Cyril Shaps reappeared in Porridge ('Orrible Ives and Grouty's runner Jackdaw), while Brian Pettifer helped Rab C Nesbitt to prop up the bar. Bill Dean went on to be the wonderful ...
