Anthony John Crosby Marriott JP (17 January 1931 – 17 April 2014) was a British playwright, screenwriter, and stage and television actor.[2]
As a playwright he was best known as the joint author, with Alistair Foot, of the farce No Sex Please, We're British, which opened at the Strand Theatre, London, on 3 June 1971.[3] It has been performed in 52 countries and on 21 February 1979 became the longest running comedy in the history of world theatre.[4] A film version starring Ronnie Corbett was released in 1973.
In 1967 Marriott was hired by Amicus Productions to rewrite the screenplay penned by Robert Bloch for The Deadly Bees, a film based on the novel A Taste for Honey by Gerald Heard.
Marriott also co-created the long-running British television series Public Eye with Roger Marshall. He never wrote a televised episode for the series, but did write an original novel based on it, Marker Calls the Tune, in 1968.[5] He also wrote television and radio for the BBC and The Rank Organisation.
He lived for many years in Osterley, West London and was a Justice of the Peace.[4]
