Re: RIP Reg Varney

Bless him! He's one of the few people in this life that can claim to have made folk laugh and by that made the world a better place !

Who can forget him and his 'sister' Olive and of course Inspector Blake - better known as Blakey - 'I'll get you Butla !!! '

He was getting on for 50 yrs old when he was actually playing a 30-something year old in the series.....Olive from the series (plays Aunt Sal in Eastenders now) was on radio FiveLive the other day... she didn't know his true age either; even now she thought he was only in his early eighties!
