Bill Maynard: aka Greengrass

By J. Thaw

Walter Frederick George Williams, born on 8th October 1928, better known by the stage name Bill Maynard, 5 Oak Cottages, Heath End, Farnham, Surrey, England, UK, was a comedian and actor. Bill attended Kibworth Beauchamp Grammar School in Leicestershire. He began as a variety performer, taking his professional surname from a billboard for Maynard's Wine Gums, a popular British sweet at the time. Years later he said the BBC had asked him to change his surname, so he said to himself "That'll do". Maynard's first TV broadcast was on 12 September 1953, on Henry Hall's Face the Music.
