No Hiding Place - where they go to great lengths to avoid knowing the football score until the televised highlights are shown later that evening - still raises a broad smile.

Now I thought it was a 0-0 draw and someone gave it away by telling them he wouldn't reveal the result but there were no goals.

Brings back memories of shift work in the seventies when the three shifts had an unwritten rule that the incoming night shift would not talk about any football results in front of the departing late shift if the highlights were being shown that night.

He didn't do a lot else, unlike that no-good Terry Collier.

I thought he was playing a lot of Rugby in South Africa

Turns out that was Lood de Jager

Brilliant series, Rodney played the part to perfection, with a great scrip by Clement and La Frenais. Many happy hours watching it.

Sorry, that’s too deep for me.

What a coincidence, Bob Ferris died today too.

I do recall one of those little delights when he appeared in supporting role in a Doctor Who episode; something involving Cybermen in the Peter Davidson era.

Funny old world,me and a mate only talked about that Saturday with the Rugby games all over the place.
There were so many good tales in the series.

It was culturally significant. RIP Bob.

When people are saying he didn't do much after the Likely Lads they're thinking he didn't do much tv work. True but he did quite a lot of theatre work.
