Corbet Woodall

Corbet Woodall (1929 – 19 May 1982), was a British newsreader for the BBC.

As well as being a genuine newsreader, Corbet Woodall appeared in many television series, and also in some films. He invariably acted as either a television newsreader, or as an announcer.

On television, Corbet Woodall appeared in several episodes of The Goodies, as well as Steptoe and Son, A Fine Romance and Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, among others. Crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, Woodall's frequent appearances on The Goodies (1970-1981) would have been even more, but according to author Robert Ross in his book "The Goodies Rule OK" (ABC Books, 2006) his contract was often marked "Artist ill". In an interview with Ross, Tim Brooke-Taylor praised Woodall's professionalism in wake of his debilitating illness. "He wasn't a well man at all, but (on camera) he rose from the dead and delivered every time."

Woodall recounted his struggle with the illness in his autobiography A Disjointed Life (Heinmann, 1980).
