RIP Rodney. Never understood what happened to this guy's career, he was so brilliant in "Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads", but maybe that's all he could do, he could only ever be Bob Ferris?

I don't think Bolam has spoken to him since the 70's after falling out with him, even after his wife died a couple of years back. That is one long falling out.

Have never seen this series but have long appreciated the theme tune:

It's being repeated on Yesterday on Fridays at the moment, although it looks like the evening repeat isn't on this Friday for some reason, only the 5:20pm one is on. I watched it last Friday night.
Odd that Bolam is the one moaning about being typecast by it, when he had the more successful career afterwards. Seems like a bit of dick tbh.

Bolam comes across as an...interesting...character but I love him to bits, maybe When the Boat Comes In even more than the Likely Lads.

James Bolam would be a good fit thesedays for "Bargain Hunt" and so on, but he's immensely private it seems.
He's notably absent from the tributes, but then I doubt he's on Twitter and so on.

So, not *that* theme tune (clue: No guitar on it), but.

hendrix played the sax on ‘baker street’ iirc
