P.S. It's Paul Squire
Paul Squire was once a big name on British television, with shows on ITV and BBC1. As he stars as Professor Crackpot in the pantomime Beauty and the Beast at Oakengates, he tells Andrew Owen why he's quite happy not being famous.
Two Paul Squire stories for you.
It's the 1980 Royal Variety Show and Paul has jumped from the clubs to the London Palladium, and he can't believe the company he's in.
During a rehearsal break he's at the bar talking to an American called Hank.
Later, he hears someone asking after composer Henry Mancini - "and I'd just been chatting to him for 10 minutes and I didn't have a clue!"
He met James Cagney "and I said the stupidest thing in my life: 'I've never seen you in colour.' He laughed and shook my hand."
Danny Kaye was there, looking nervous, Aretha Franklin was on the bill, and then Paul spotted Sammy Davis Jr and asked him to sign his programme.
"Only if you'll sign mine," said Mr Entertainment, and you can almost hear the great man's jewellery rattle as Paul tells his story in a quiet Oakengates pub.
"So I signed his book. And my hand was shaking as I wrote, 'To Sam…'
"These people," he says over a post-matinee show pint, "I never dreamed in a million years that I would meet people like this; little old me from Manchester."
He had been working abroad and doing TV guest slots when he got the Royal Variety invitation. His parents, both entertainers, had passed away by then, "but I must admit when I opened the envelope I looked up and said 'I did it!'."
