What a great show that was, very typical of the pro worker shows that were craftily made at the time. Stephen Lewis, a lifelong socialist, designed his Blakey as a satire on shithouse line managers everywhere

Very sad. She played the downtrodden missus so well in On The Buses, not sure you'd ever get a character written like that again these days. But I loved the show.
Even in my childish innocence though, I STILL wondered how this bloke apparently attracted so much "crumpet" barely half his age. The bloke could eat an apple through a tennis racquet.
Ahhh, the 70s.
Bob Grant (RIP). He had a very sad death too. Committed suicide after a long struggle with depression after struggling to find work when On the Buses finished.

I saw his last acting role in Eastbourne - 5 years before he died. Very sad.

Mind you, Stan must have been 50 if he was a day, and he did alright with the saucy clippies,
