Popular Culture
Bonar Law plays a supporting, if off-screen, role in Upstairs, Downstairs. He is even said to have recommended family patriarch, Richard Bellamy, to be offered a peerage.
His name was referenced by Julian and Sandy in Round the Horne, in a sketch called "Bona Law".
The comedian John Cleese inserted several fake titles into his filmography in Who's Who, including The Bonar Law Story, Abbott & Costello Meet Sir Michael Swann, Young Anthony Barber and Confessions of a Programme Planner.
