Arthur Marshall
There was also a ragtime composer named Arthur Marshall (disambiguation).

Arthur Marshall (1910-1989) was a British writer and broadcaster, born in Surrey in the UK. Most known as a team-leader on the BBC's Call My Bluff. A long-running British panel game on which celebrity teams played a game based on word definitions. (He took over when Patrick Campell died.) He appeared on radio and TV occasionally and published books of humorous pieces among other writings. Best known of these was his skits on the life and antics of public schoolgirls. He was also a magazine columnist.

He went to Oundle School and then Cambridge University and wanted to be an actor. As he could not find enough acting work he became a school teacher. In the fifties he began work in the theatre in London as a script-writer and also began having his humorous books published. As he became more well known he appeared on radio and TV and then began his time on Call My Bluff, which, after ten years, only ended with his death.
