Charters and Caldicott

Charters and Caldicott are a fictional pair of cricket-obsessed English gentlemen, created by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat for the 1938 Alfred Hitchcock film The Lady Vanishes. They were initially played by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne. The pairing was so popular that Radford and Wayne portrayed them in three other feature films and played similar characters in several other films and in several BBC Radio productions.

Charters and Caldicott were played by other actors in the 1979 remake of the original film, and in their own BBC Television continuation series in 1985 with Charters and Caldicott.
