I was watching some old episodes the other day and it was really funny I especially loved the Rhona and Christina characters they should have been main characters not just support.
Shame Gary Olsen died when he did as maybe the series could have continued and become what "My Family" became.
btw Claire Buckfield was a much better Jenny than the original who I hated.

I think her overbite is quite cute.
He died much too young.
Aren't one of the actors in Hollyoaks now?
Hope he is resting in peace
Yeah John Pickard, brother of Nick Paickard who is also in Hollyoaks
I got the ehtire series on DVD from some internet site a few years ago, its just UK Gold recordings though but its better than nothing.

That was quite weird as was the "dont go MIA" thing in Series 3 which was telling them not to go to Miami
Yeah some episodes were weird but I think it has to be one of the funniest all time comedies. I think had Gary Olsen not tragically died when he did it would probably have continued and we might never have got My Family... The Deep and After the Fox were probably my favourite episodes... I remember watching After the Fox with my sister when it first broadcast and being in absolute hysterics at the last line...
I saw some episodes on GOLD last year but would like to watch this again.
Oh right...
I'm not sure where I heard it now (but it definitely wasn't wiki), but I normally check IMDB and it doesn't say so on there so I'll assume what I heard was rubbish!
For me it bought together EVERYTHING a xmas special should be. Not just another episode with a bit of tinsel, but a full on event.

He kept popping up during the first series, then we saw in a news report at the start of the second series that he'd died in an accident, then in the last episode of that series he appeared as a sort-of guardian angel when David is in a coma. He isn't mentioned again after that.
No, you're right, he featured in the first two series, he was killed and Bill only found out via the news. Then when David was seriously ill, he visited him in hospital and said it wasn't David's time yet, and then was sort of a ghost in the third series warning them not to go. I don't think he was featured again.
I loved the Christmas specials, wasn't one referred to as nightmare on whatever street Bill's mum lived? We then had it as our Nightmare on my Gran's street, I liked the Blues Brothers episode too.

Although I'm sure it wasn't that much when I had it on my wishlist!!
Thanks for that. I wasn't an avid follower at first, and couldn't understand why he was there and if it was only Bill that ever saw him.
I watched a lot, and I don't know whether it was only Bill that saw him, I remember Bill couldn't drive, and she got into Ben's van in a huff and driving, and the biker was behind her on the bike and guided her home. It was only Bill that saw his death on the news, but David recognised him when he was ill, didn't he?
