[TV] Rodney Bewes dies aged 79

[Mo Gosfield]

I believe James Bolam has lived in Wisborough Green for many years and his long time partner/wife is the actress Susan Jameson. I was once in the small grocery store in the village ( got to be 35 years ago ) talking to the manager and I heard that unmistakeable voice say..." have you got any bread Mr. Spooner? "
Rodney Bewes was a regular at Craven Cottage, so I assume he resided in the London area.

Just read that he lived in Henley-on-Thames.

The originals were great and I really liked the remake with Ant'n'Dec as well. If I remember rightly, they both appeared in it towards the end.

Thought the Cycle Race episode was the best one they did.

A mate of mine became absolutely obsessed with Brigit Forsyth (Thelma) when she dressed up as a Pixie in one episode.

I see James Bolam now & again on the Train down to Billingshurst, I think he lives in Wisborough Green.

I too thought it was a Pixie outfit but further research (the episode is on youtube) reveals it was a Peter Pan one.

Blimey - cross dressing on the BBC in the 1970's?

Might get the best series as a Chrimbo present and watch it in the evening with my family.

It certainly beats watching modern 'comedy' like Mrs Brown's Boys and Michael McIntyre.

 

[The Oldman]

Bolam just said on the radio that there never was a falling out and that it was all made up?!

Quite a scoop for a BBC Sussex and Neil Pringle to interview James Bolam. Been repeated tonight on BBC. 4 PM programme tonight.
