The Likely Lads

[HG]

Anyone else love this great series and the follow up Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? From the pen of Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais starring James Bolam and Rdney Bewes it was a classic, the best episode had to be when they were trying to aviod the result of an England match and ended up hiding in a church, pure brilliance.

The theme tune to Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads has to be one of the best theme tunes ever.

Re: The Likely Lads

Yes I did, and still do, one of my faves.
Is it being repeated anywhere on Sky etc? Read on Youtube, that James Bolam and Rodney Bewes, didn`t get on.

Re: The Likely Lads

I've never seen it repeated anywhere but on BBC2 every now and then.

Here's a lin to Rodney Bewes's version of their friendship

Re: The Likely Lads

I bought it in Amazon.com but I think I'm misssing a few eposides. I read Rodney's book and it seemed like there were more.
Anyway, a good buy as far as I'm concerned. In the world we now live in, the past seems like the only thing worth saving.
Simple days. I don't even have a corner bar in my neighborhood anymore...it closed up. I moved closer to the new Jersey Shore so
there is more life there.

Re: The Likely Lads

So great to find other Likely Lads fans here. I have a DVD of some of the original black and white series from the 1960s but I think many must have been lost; the BBC didn't keep everything back then. A good reference site here: http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/the...lads/episodes/ shows that there were originally 21 episodes.

I do, however, have every episode of the sequel "Whatever Happened to..." (which I consider to be far superior anyway) plus the feature film which involved the caravan holiday where Terry got off with that foreign bird. Excellent stuff. Ant and Deck tried to revive it in recent years when they remade a famous episode but just like Paul Merton's horrendous attempt at "Hancock's Half Hour" it was sad and pointless. The only saving grace in Ant and Deck's effort was a cameo appearance of Rodney Bewes as a news seller. You can't improve on perfection though so leave well alone, I say.

Re: The Likely Lads

I wont argue it was a great series, but the tune made me feel morose! What with the house demolition at the start of it, I thought it was sad?
