Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on November 16, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Griff Rhys Jones! Whether cleverly sparring with Mel Smith in "Alas Smith and Jones," or making us chuckle uncontrollably at your quick-witted satire in "Not the Nine O'Clock News," you've been bringing timeless laughter to British comedy for decades. We especially adore your deadpan expressions matched perfectly—though hilariously mismatched—with absurd scenarios.

Recently, we've seen you exploring architecture and stunning countryside vistas during gripping documentaries, generously gifting viewers stories filled with warmth and humour. You're proving once more that like fine wine (or perhaps vintage comedic sketches?), you're growing ever better—markedly funnier each birthday! Cheers!
