Terry and June was a popular Britishsitcom, broadcast on the BBC from 1979 to 1987. It starred Terry Scott and June Whitfield as a married couple set in Purley, London. The sitcom's format was to set up an argument between the two eponymous protagonists, often with a household task (for example, delivering a bulky item, changing a lightbulb or rewiring a plug). Terry would get angry at June's constant (if admittedly annoying) love for sensible economy, hiring qualified contractors and planning but he would always get his comeuppance; June always won their clashes.

Generally regarded by critics in the UK as the epitome of the bland middle-class sitcom, the kind of which had almost disappeared from the schedules by the new millennium.
Terry never won any big awards or trophies, but I would venture to guess that if we could ask him, he would definitely state that his biggest accomplishment was his family.
Terry would tell me that the 2 best days of his life were the day he got married and the day that Tanner was born.
Terry was born in 1958 in Winnipeg, Man. A few years later his family moved to Port Coquitlam, B.C. As a kid, Terry was always enthusiastic about sports, even when he was the worst player on his Grade 8 basketball team.
Terry himself laid out many of the guidelines for the Run that are still followed today – probably the most important of which is to keep the event non-competitive – no winners, no awards, just the goal of raising money for cancer research.
Terry's brother Darrell is the national director of the run, his brother Fred is in charge of the foundation's provincial office in B.C., his sister Judith often speaks at schools, and his mother Betty spends five to seven months a year travelling across Canada giving presentations.
