Rodney Bewes, who played Bob in the British TV comedy series The Likely Lads, died yesterday aged 67.

I don't remember the original black & white TV series which ran in the 1960s but do recall the reprised series Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads which aired in the 1970s (and in new fangled colour TV).
A great show, basically about two working class blokes coping with the changing times, one by sticking to his working class roots and the other (Bob) by aspiring to be fashionable and upwardly mobile. Well scripted episodes too with many a scene shot in the front bar of a pub somewhere in the north of England with long dialogue sequences between the two as they argue the problems of the day over a pint.
RIP Mr Bewes.
