Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on November 22, 1936)

Happy Birthday, John Bird! May your day be filled with more laughs than an episode of "Bremner, Bird and Fortune," sharper wit than a scene from "Absolute Power," and fewer mysteries to solve than in your memorable appearance on "Cluedo." Your comedic brilliance has kept us chuckling through the decades—proving that humor truly is timeless.

From navigating hilarious chaos as Detective Chief Inspector Frank Cottrell in "El C.I.D.," to satirizing politics alongside Rory Bremner and John Fortune, you've consistently delivered performances worthy of applause (and occasional snorts). Here's wishing you another year full of laughter, success—and minimal run-ins with fictional murder suspects!
