Mr Bolam is an actor you know.....

Any actor or ex-actor who continues to live in Henley-on-Thames is hardly in 'dire' straits.

I personally thank Bolam for putting the bar on episodes of the Likeley Lads - I found it one of the unfunniest things of its era (even though my husband likes it - but then again - he likes Last of the Summer Wine too!!!!)

Indeed, I had no idea the 'skint' Bewes lives in Henley. Hardly a place you can 'slum it' very easily.

I wish someone would block OFAH and LOTSW as well - very unfunny and overplayed

I think he was/is a neighbour of the late George Harrison and his wife.

As to James Bolam, I remember seeing Amanda Redman talking about making New Tricks and how they were always getting told off for giggling, the interviewer asked who was the worst culprit was and she said James. I've thought since that this doesn't gel with his grumpy old git reputation. I choose to believe he is intensely private.

As to repeats of The Likely Lads, we have them all on DVD so he obviously hasn't put the block on that.

Still, I've never met either of them so should probably keep me trap shut

'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?' was repeated on BBC Two extensively around the late 1990s/early 2000s, and has been shown on BBC Four more recently. Gold show it quite often, as well as the original 'Likely Lads' less frequently (I think Drama has shown it was well), so this story isn't entirely accurate to say the least.

Is Bewes actively seeking Tv work, as the only major non Likely Lads work Ive seen him in was the Peter Davison Dalek Dr Who story?

Say what you like about Bolam, but he was still appearing on Tv after 50 odd years!

I can't tell you how jealous I am, just love DG!!

That's what surprised me as, if he can take the mock out of himself like that, I thought he'd be 'normal' - also, I couldn't imagine Gervais mixing with tossers. I was so disappointed.

Well it's Bewes who is directly quoted as saying he is losing out, however misguided he may be or perhaps a stop was put on when New Tricks was running and that is what he vetoed specially if repeat fees are more substantial for the BBC, yes I know it has been repeated. Seems rather pathetic that Bewes is relying on a 40 year old programme to still pay his mortgage.

[quote=linmic;75382955]My most memorable one was meeting Freddie Mercury in Biba in London in the 70's. He was so different from what I expected. A very nice man.

I'm so jealous that you met Freddie, the greatest frontman of all time.....imo.

Didn't Ferry send that waste of skin Otis to Eton, no wonder he turned out like he did

You broke your leg to meet Jessie J? must admit you are committed

Just a few questions if that's ok?

1. How on earth did you get her number? and why did you text her? Or was that a daily mail fantasy?

2. I'm assuming Daily Mail got your gender wrong?

3. What was Jessie like to you when she met you after all of this supposed stuff

I'm quite amazed, can't say I'm amazed in a positive way however

I think you need to go and see a psychiatrist , that is not normal behaviour , and if i was Jessie J i would be scared of you .


And this is not meant in a nasty way , i am genuinely concerned for your mental health .

I love him and was gutted that I missed his recent shows at MK my friends went and he chatted to them and took photos with them - my friend also kissed him on the cheek lol poor guy just laughed he is an absolute gent!! Any news on when he is coming back

Although not a fan of his music he does seem nice, not so long ago he done a gig in Hertford and donated cash for the breast screening charity for a hospital trust the trust had posters up for it.

Like most heavy rock stars i have met they are well grounded, and the people i have met 11 all were really nice,Phil Lynott, Phil Campbell (Motorhead) Micheael Schenker (UFO Micheal Schenker group,Scorpions, and the rest of his current band all very nice we had a great laugh,Black Star riders (Featuring Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy. Who even gave us a private acoustic concert, all very down to earth.

Heavy Rockers in my experience are very pleasant on the whole.Who respect their fan base.


Oh i forgot in the 90s i met Chuck Berry wandering about behind the stage at Brentwood Leisure centre,he despite his reputation signed my programme and was happy to chat.
