As a side note, his Website/{{Wikipedia}} [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry-Thomas article,]] which was a featured article there in 2013, currently lacks an infobox. Much like with Creator/StanleyKubrick until his article over there got one in 2021, Terry-Thomas's article can't have an infobox added without a consensus. ''Unlike'' Kubrick, however, Terry-Thomas's article hasn't had as many discussions about it; the last discussion was held in 2017. Regardless, it's thoroughly written enough to be a jolly good read over his splendid life, career and legacy to be worth your time.

* SelfDeprecatingHumor: When Andrew Spicer wrote for the British Film Institute, he called Terry-Thomas "the definitive postwar cad or rotter". Terry-Thomas wrote of himself in the 1980s: "T-T with his permanent air of caddish disdain... bounder... aristocratic rogue... upper-class English twit... genuine English eccentric... one of the last real gentlemen... wet, genteel Englishman... high-bred idiot... cheeky blighter... camel-haired cad... amiable buffoon... pompous Englishman... twentieth-century dandy... stinker... king of the cads... All those descriptions added up to my image as Terry-Thomas."
