Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?

i was just thinking about this show the other day, specifically terry’s immortal line ‘i’d offer you a beer but i’ve only got six’

what a great show this was, really need to watch it again at some point

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.

predates WHttLL? (and tLL too) but rodders was in BILLY LIAAAR! RIP

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.

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

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.

hendrix played the sax on ‘baker street’ iirc

and bob holness played kazoo on ‘crosstown traffic’
