Rodney Bewes R.I.P. on 19:33 - Nov 21 with 3130 views | EastTownBlue | I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but his final score was 79. Good comedy. A real shame that it turned sour with Bolam. | | | |
Rodney Bewes R.I.P. on 20:00 - Nov 21 with 3113 views | azuremerlangus | Shame to hear about his passing - even bigger shame about the split with James Bolam and that they never spoke again. Great comedy with plenty of social comment about class. | |

Didn't know they'd fallen out so badly. How incredibly sad. R.I.P. | |

They haven’t spoken since 1976 after Rodney Bewes mentioned James Bolan’s wife was pregnant in an interview. | |

I loved both the original and "Whatever happened to...." | | | |

Agreed both were very good but the original series filmed in B&W somehow captured the age of the apprentices and dark factories an age I was part of. I confess to liking many of the B&W films which I find very atmospheric=Old age I s'pose? | | | |

And James Bolam (with an 'm') refused to allow repeats of either series and that really annoyed Bewes as it would have meant a 'wage' of about £4000 an episode. Bolam, of course, went on to star in several other things such as When The Boat Come In, Grandpa In My Pocket and New Tricks. I don't think Bewes ever did anything of note. | | | |

Bolam sounds like a nasty bitter man, seemed like he looked for excuses to kick off. | |

Yeah I know it's Bolam. Unfortunately the M being next to the N and fat fingers on an iphone always causes me problems. That's why I always type if when I mean of. Although a bit of trivia for you: James Bolam and Marc Bolan used to share a flat together in the 1960's. | |

Does sound very dog-in-manger of him. Thanks for the info, GB and BB. [Post edited 22 Nov 2017 10:15]

I have followed this debate for years because I always felt sorry for Rodney. I agree, he is either a very bitter man or something else happened. I always wondered if Rodney gave his Mrs one. | |
