A great actor and one of the best comedies of the 60s and 70s. I used to watch it with me old dad and not get any jokes but just liked to watch as my dad loved it.



-----------------

Rodney Bewes, who has died aged 79, found fame as the aspirational Bob in the BBC sitcom The Likely Lads.

Teaming Bewes with fellow actor, James Bolam, it regularly drew audiences of more than 20 million.

Despite the success of a sequel, the two fell out in spectacular style - effectively ending the chance of the series being continued.

It turned out to be the peak of Bewes's career and he later found himself reduced to playing a series of less distinguished roles.

Rodney Bewes was born in Bingley, Yorkshire, on 27 November 1937.

Lovely fella.
He bought a holiday home up in Staithes for him and his family, very down to earth.

He will live on through Bob Ferris, by all who are fortunate to discover him and Terry Collier.

used to enjoy the likely lads as a kid, he also did a stint in Dr Who :sad:
