Herbert Mostyn was a notional BBC voice actor, created by Muir and Norden, for convenience when they took small acting parts in the BBC radio comedy programmes they had written (and thus earned acting as well as writing fees). Herbert Mostyn was listed in the performing credits for countless BBC radio programs, as Norden admitted in a radio interview of 2013, but otherwise never existed.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007s6p7|title = BBC Radio 4 Extra - A Taste of Funny with Denis Norden}}
