[Pedant Mode]How many of those reminiscing about the Likely Lads actually saw the series The likely Lads?

The comments on here suggest you are confused. The comments re episodes and theme music are not from the Likely Lads, but from the follow up series made some 9 years later - Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads.


The Likely ~Lads was made in black and white around 1964/5 and was in black and white wih the 2 working as apprentice electricians in Newcastle. it ended with Bob going to join the Army. Terry goes along to be with his mate. Bob gets rejected, but Terry gets signed up.

Sadly, apparently only 8 episodes of The Likely Lads remain [/Pedant Mode]

Did they 'overdub' the spoken part which is not in the original Scaffold version.

He lived in Henley where I work. Never saw him out and about. We also had George Cole / Arthur Daley up until he passed away, who I did used to see parking up his stinky old.... (Guess what car he had ?)

 

[jefmcg]

He didn't do a lot else,

Didn't he hang out with basil brush?

Blimey, of course he did. Mr Rodney. Did you have that show in Melbourne?

Shame he never made up with Bolam when they had a falling out about 40 years ago about something he said in an interview. I saw him interviewed about it a few years ago and was willing to hand out an olive branch, but apparently Bolam has never spoken to him for years.
