79 years old. Really enjoyed the Likely Lads, classic comedy RIP Bob Ferris.

I thought it was shit!!!! :/
R.I.P!!!!

I’m going to bed in a bit to avoid knowing the Pools score as a tribute.

Gobsmacked ... he was on telly only last week in the Likely Lads.
RIP

Very sad, he was a superb actor.

Saw him do a one man show in Edinburgh about 10 years ago, was superb.

Nice to know that

The Likely lads was a fantastic series in it's day.

Terry Collier: I'd offer you a beer, but I've only got six cans.

Bob: In the chocolate box of life the top layer's already gone. And someone's pinched the orange creme from the bottom.
Terry Collier: Bloody hell.

Terry Collier: Back in time for a drink, watch the box this afternoon - that's what a weekend should be - sport, sleep, slippers and sex.
Bob: Not necessarily in that order.

Terry Collier: Oh Chris, I can't stand saying goodbye like this.
Christina: You really mean that?
Terry Collier: Yeah - you finish packing, I'm going to the pub.

Bob: Did Thelma call?
Terry Collier: No.
Bob: Are you sure?
Terry Collier: We don't have a phone.

Terry Collier: That's just one of life's bitter ironies Bob.
Bob: I suffer a lot from those.

Bob: When it comes to women you're hardly Omar Sharif.
Terry Collier: If Omar Sharif lived in Gateshead I doubt he'd be Omar Sharif.

Bob: I bet we could go right round the world and you'd have a pat response ready.
Terry Collier: I've travelled man, I've seen a bit of the world now you know.
Bob: What do you think of Koreans, for instance?
Terry Collier: Not to be trusted. Cruel people. Much the same as all Orientals.
Bob: That's a third of the world's population dismissed in a phrase. Russians?
Terry Collier: Sinister.
Bob: Egyptians?
Terry Collier: Cowardly.
Bob: Oh? I thought you might have saved that for Italians.
Terry Collier: No, no, they're greasy aren't they? Not as greasy as the French mind.
Bob: Germans?
Terry Collier: Arrogant.
Bob: Spaniards?
Terry Collier: Lazy.
Bob: Danes?
Terry Collier: Pornographic.
Bob: Well that's just about everyone. Oh, Americans?
Terry Collier: Well, they're flash aren't they?
Bob: So it's just down to the British, is it?
Terry Collier: Well, I haven't got much time for the Irish or the Welsh, and the Scots are worse than the Koreans.
Bob: And you never could stand Southerners.
Terry Collier: To tell you the truth I don't like anybody much outside this town. And there's a lot of families in our street I can't stand either. Come to think of it, I don't even like the people next door.
Bob: I see, so from the distant blue Pacific through the barren wastes of Manchuria, to 127 Inkerman Terrace, you can't abide anyone.

Bob: I think I'm going through what psychiatrists call an identity crisis.
Thelma: Is that what Alan Pooley had?
Bob: I think Alan just liked dressing up in women's clothes.

Thelma: She must have quite a hold on Terry.
Bob: Probably at this very moment.
Thelma: Maybe we should invite Chris and Terry to badminton club.

Thelma: I know the city is a bit grey but outside we're surrounded by breathtaking grandeur, aren't we Bob?
Bob: Oh yes, breathtaking.

Bob: These streets are ugly, but they have a kind of beauty.
Terry Collier: Working class sentiment is the indulgence of working peopled created through football and rock-and-roll or people like you who moved out to the elm lodge housing estate at the earliest opportunity.
Bob: Well I didn't want my kids growing up in these streets.

Bob: Nobody cares, nobody's moved by the occasion.
Terry Collier: Residents are, moved to a highrise.

Bob: Of course you always had an irresistible sexual magnetism.
Terry Collier: True but its not just that.
Bob: What is it then, I'm dying to know!
Terry Collier: Well once I've got them up here, there's no way they're going to risk leavin this dodgy area after dark.

Bob: I'm going through a very depressed state recently, I think we should talk it through.
Thelma: Oh Bob, we've got so much to get done, can't we talk about if later over a cup of tea, it'll keep won't it.
Bob: Of course, its not important Thelma, I'm only questioning the validity of my entire life.

Terry Collier: You kicked it up there!
Bob: Not on purpose, was only making a strong clearance.

Fireman: We've got better things to do with taxpayers money.
Bob: I'm sorry, when I get to the top I just lost me nerve.
Terry Collier: Keeps your hand in doesn't it, better than polishing your bell up all afternoon.

Bob: Mind you my wife isn't really with me.
Terry Collier: In town though.
Bob: Out of sight, out of mind.
Terry Collier: Good thinking Bob.

Christina: I learn much this weekend Terry, it has been, how you say in English, an eyesore.

Terry Collier: [to young couple kissing passionately in lift] It's young Marsha isn't it, shouldn't you be in bed?
Marsha: We'd rather be but dad's in, that's why we're in the lift.

Christina: You are so tired, I put you up.
Bob: You've put up with me long enough.
Christina: I not mean with, I up-put you.

Bob: I don't want to put you out.

Aye, 82p for a pint, a lager plus a veritable banquet for 2. Those were the days eh?

According to BBC Radio Sussex:
Sussex actor James Bolam has paid tribute to fellow former Likely Lad #RodneyBewes. James has told @BBCSussex: “There was no fall out at all, as far as I was concerned.”

Describing Bolam, who was born and grew up in Sunderland, as a "Sussex actor" will have made his day. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder about coming from the North-East and hasn't done any stuff set in this region for donkeys years - which is a pity, because when I hear him doing his Home Counties accent I always think he sounds like a car dealer from Ponteland who wants to sound posh.

RIP

The 3 scenes that stand out for me with regard to the Likely Lads, are the ones, where they are trying to avoid the result of the Czechoslovakia v England game, the one where they are stood outside their local pub watching it being demolished, and the one where they are away in the caravan with the girls, and the lads get out of the caravan, thinking they have arrived at the campsite, and the caravan drives off, leaving them in the middle of nowhere in Northumberland.

Wasn't my favourite sitcom, but to say it was crap is way off the mark.

Comedy Gold
RIP Fella.

It was comedy of its time that just got better. You all knew a Bob or Terry.
