Me too. It wasn't helped by one of the cast being the son of a teacher I had at school, as I couldn't see his name without thinking what a twat his father was.

Split the household. My Northerner dad liked it (the first couple of series, anyway) and my mum hated it. She'd go off and do the ironing when it was on.

Boht has sailed ... 

 

Thought she went a couple of years ago, for some reason. I wonder who I was thinking of?

It was similar in my  Merseyside household.  My dad hated it, my nan loved it, my mum and I watched it because we fancied  Peter Howitt and Victor Maguire respectively. 

We had the same wall paper in our bathroom that they had in their kitchen which amused me more than anything in the show.

Pretty much every major character from the peerless Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads (1973-74) is still with us 40 years on, that's not bad going.

 

James Bolam (Jun 16th 1935)

Rodney Bewes (Nov 16th 1937)

Brigit Forsyth (Jul 28th 1940)

Sheila Fearn (Oct 3rd 1940)

Well, there comes 80 Brigit Forsyth.

 

Probably the three remaining are fringing the radar now...

Brigit Forsyth dead. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67590697

Sad news.

Brigit Forsyth's turn as Thelma in Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? is a tour de force of comedic acting, imo. Never played for laughs, and all the funnier for it. A welcome sight whenever I saw her on the tellybox.

 

Can't say I saw her in Still Open All Hours, as I dislike the original intensely (worst thing after Clarence that Ronnie Barker ever did imo) so I never watched the update.

 

She's a Doctor Who alumnus as well - all episodes of Evil of the Daleks.

A sad loss. 

 

On Open All Hours - I absolutely loved the original, but the remake was a bit of a catastrophe with the way they drew it out. Still, she seemed like a very talented actress and an unfortunate add to the string of recent deaths.
