Thanks for the laughs, Mr Bewes.

That came later - they had a falling out (or rather James Bolam did rather than Bewes - he's a notoriously prickly and difficult man) over something trivial and they never patched things up.

A shame. As Mr Bewes intimated in an interview it would have been nice to see them as two grumpy old men.

The bigger man of the two by far, there.

I preferred him in the lesser known "Dear Mother...Love Albert".
