In 2010, Bewes complained about his former co-star's refusal to allow repeats of The Likely Lads, preventing his earning anything from them; "he must be very wealthy; me, I've just got an overdraft and a mortgage."

Are you referring to the radio version of the show?
BBC4 TV repeated the whole of Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? last year. |

As far as I remember Martin Shaw stopped the repeats of the Professionals because he was not proud of the programme, not due to a feud.

Saffron from Republica - anyone remember them? They were touring with Space last week and I got to meet her in Manchester. She was really nice. Hasn't changed much since 1997 either.

I hope that isn't the case! On the subject of this "permission to re-broadcast" thing, I have exchanged emails with a friend, an ex-Aunty producer (now long retired). He said that the Beeb was infamous for coming up with ways to reduce actors' fees, often by way of giving them a certain degree of editorial or production control over the programme in return for a smaller pay packet. This must have been ok with Equity, but he's not sure how widespread the practice was in the real world. Aunty did have some foresighted solicitors, however, because they have been able to broadcast - or sell - some series against the wishes of some of the actors, because of the precise wording of the contracts. For example, some contracts prohibit "terrestrial retransmission" without the agreement of all parties. Hellooooo Sky... |

I met Simon Rimmer today at a cooking exhibition. He was very good with the crowd and stayed behind afterwards to talk to everyone and sign autographs. He was particularly good with the kids. Top bloke
Greens, his restaurant, is near my house and I've been a couple of times. The food is pricey, but it is worth it. And it doesn't surprise me that he's great with kids, he was always good with my little cousins.

Apparently Martin Shaw did the same thing by not allowing The Professionals to be repeated and stopping Lewis Collins getting much needed repeat royalties. He did however change his mind a couple of years ago. Not that it matters now poor Lewis is dead

Someone whispered in his ear that Gordon Jackson's (Cowley) widow was struggling financially, and he so he agreed to repeats being shown in order to help her out.

Thats what I heard too, though it was not because of a feud that he blocked repeats
Shaw went up in my estimation when I read he reconsidered his stance to help Mrs. Jackson. |

Yeah, like you said Crunchie I think he wanted to be known for other work. Maybe because The Professionals was SO iconic, he believed that he could never move on from Doyle unless it was simply never shown.

Surprised he didn't put the block on those as well! |

And yet Merton gets much more favourable coverage in the media than Deyton. I always thought it a disgrace the way he was hounded off HIGNFY.

You can tell Merton is a complete egotist; he hates it when others are funnier than him on HIGNFY - which they frequently are. |

I've heard quite a few negative things about Merton 'off screen'. One journalist/ columnist once wrote that she was attending some charity awards event with a disabled friend. He passed them in a corridor as she was trying to help her friend with an access issue. He point blank refused to assist in any way and walked on.
