21st King of England (1154-1189).
Me and my mate Thomas Becket, having a good time putting things right that once went wrong. Until he called me Tetchy. TETCHY? I'LL SHOW HIM TETCHY.

I did not expect to find a pre-fame Sean Connery (doing an Italian accent as well as he would do an Egyptian accent) playing a porter in the Jack Benny show.
