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.

Acquaint yourself with Rodney's Hendrix story...

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.
