Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ernest Alfred "Ernie" Bourne (1 August 1926 21 January 2009) was an English-born Australian actor, best known for his regular roles on television. Bourne was born in Dorset, England and raised in Yeovil, Somerset where his mother ran a boarding house following the early death of his father. Leaving school and home at the age of 14, Bourne worked in a cafe before joining the British Merchant Navy during World War II, where he became interested in acting after appearing in a pantomime. He emigrated to Australia in 1952, initially settling in Geelong and later moving to Melbourne. In the 1960s, he was loved (and booed) as a series of pantomime-style villains on Australian television such as Sir Jasper Crookley (in Magic Circle Club), and multiple similar baddies in Adventure Island including Sir Cedric Sneak, Captain Crook, Chummy Chums and Miser Meanie's sidekick Fester Fumble.
