He's still around! What is it about the name Raymond? Not only does it adorn countless lady's hairdressers, but it is interlinked with gay men, such as Raymond Burr!

So what the hell was/is "Dial Rix"?
Did Raymond used to be an actor?
A "straight man" (snigger)!

Dial Rix, according to Mark Lewisohn's book, was a series of topical farces written especially for TV, starring Brian Rix.
Series 1 ran from 12th September 1962 - 24th January 1963, series 2 was 23rd June 1963 to 15th October 1963.
Raymond Baxter played the challenging role of 'Himself' in 'What A Chassis', broadcast on 15th Oct 1963. Don't know whether it still exists, though.

He also popped up as himself in Q9, before being backed into a coffin and blown up!

And,lest we forget,possibly his finest role;extolling the virtues of string(dressed in only a string vest and string undies) in The Goodies.I fear that image will remain with me until my last breath.
