OK, so who hears this as Norm Lovett, and who hears it as Hattie Hayridge?
I tend towards the former, probably because he was the first Holly I was aware of. I've also seen him do stand-up, which was good, but you had to concentrate pretty hard to get all the jokes though ...

Norman Lovett is and always will be Holly
There was nowt wrong with Hattie Hayridge per se, but she had an insurmountably hard act to follow

He left
to focus on his own projects, none of which received the recognition they deserved

I was going to say I haven't seen him since.

Which rules out the possibility of him being Bert
He had his own sitcom in the late 80's called I, Lovett and obviously did a lot of stand-up
