Awww, Mr. Preview has died.

He operated in a rarified world and would probably only be remembered in the "serious" publications. Thanks to this immortal "8 minute TV skit", he will be fondly remembered by millions of Brits who would otherwise never have heard of him.

RIP, Mr Privet.
Preview.
Previn!

So much this.
 
Fun fact: Morecambe and Wise were terrified that sketch was going to go horribly, horribly wrong because Privet couldn't fit in a rehearsal time. They'd sent him the script and he said "I'll learn it on the way over" in the taxi from the airport before the show (which was of course performed live in front of a huge audience).

Which he did.

RIP.
 
My mum looked up to him as a conductor and performer a lot, she got conducted by him and had videos from back in the day.

Still remembers him as he was in that skit.
