Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on August 06, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Charles! May your special day be filled with laughter, joy, and absolutely no suspicious coughing from the audience. You've certainly made a lasting impression—after all these years, you're still remembered as the man who turned "phone-a-friend" into "cough-a-clue." Truly iconic!

In all seriousness though (or perhaps not), here's wishing you another year of success—hopefully achieved without any questionable assistance. Keep smiling and remember: life's greatest prize isn't always a million pounds; sometimes it's simply being unforgettable. Cheers to you on your birthday—and may every quiz night bring fewer coughs and more genuine applause!
