John, born to English parents in Murree, Punjab, India in 1934, played Gunner ‘Paderewski’ Graham.
He was married to fellow sitcom star Mavis Pugh, until her death in 2006, with both starring in 1988’s You Rang, M’Lord and 1972’s Are You Being Served?
Pugh also appeared in Fawlty Towers while Clegg had a smaller part in 2001’s Bridget Jones’ Diary.
In October 2017, Clegg gave a talk called ‘My Life as an Actor’ to the Chichester Literary Society detailing his career that began at the prestigious RADA drama school in London.
He entertained an audience with tales including his encounter with a young Dame Judi Dench who said she didn’t think he was suited to traditional Shakespearean roles.
As a fan of Rudyard Kipling, Clegg also co-produced a one-man show with wife Mavis, based on the storyteller, that achieved success at the Edinburgh Festival in the 1980s.
