Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Just heard on the news that Stephen Lewis aka Blakey of "On the Buses" died yesterday, thanks for giving me so many laughs, RIP.
(5 dings, emergency stop, was a clippie for a couple years).
RIP 'Inspector' :(
Last stop Luxton Bus Depot. . .

Sad news , another great character actor gone , " You've
made my day Butler, arf arf arf......"
Never liked On the Buses much but I remember the actor and I liked him better than Reg Varney.
Reg Varney was OK, my dad served him a few times in Halfords, Enfield Town and said he was quite chatty and down to earth :)
He also officially opened Britian's first cash machine at Barclays Bank in Enfield Town - my local bank for years :D

IIRC he also appeared in Last of the Summer wine, in the later series.

For 19 years ... yes.
