"Mr Goodlatte" is Jack Goodlatte.
"Wilfred Bramble" should read Wilfrid Brambell.
"Peter Morley" should read Robert Morley.

Odd that we've listed Robert Morley as Peter. Does anyone know if there's a reason behind why we made this error? Or is it just a simple mistake?

Just so you can be sure, if you listen to the commentary at 02:13 you'll actually hear the commentator confirm that it's Robert Morley, not Peter Morley. So yes, it's just a simple mistake!
