Rich Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I dont know how they all lived in that house either, and Stan on only his busdrivers money. It must have been the first reality show ever, dont you think. But then again, they may have been actors, playing a part. Yeah OK, I know...

segasonic Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I used to love that show, and I still watch it on ITV3! Shame the bloke who played Stan died last year, and I think "Olive and Arthur" have also died. Anna Karen (Olive) is very much alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mother owned the house,Jack was a plumber and Olive was one of Britains first female financiers.A pension and three wages ensured that the Butler household withstood the inflationary pressures of the 70s.

Plus,of course,they were all appearing in a prime time comedy show.They must have earned a few bob for that.And they would have got a rake off from the ad.breaks.Probably.

Jack used to take the bus home to Tooting at night and run OAPs to bingo and to the chip shop.Stan was a comic at the Elephant where mum was the bar made.

Vague_Boy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Reg Varney was also the first choice to play Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses. No, that was Jim Broadbent. Jim Broadbent: 'I'm so glad I turned down being Del Boy' Jason was a relatively late candidate for the part, with Jim Broadbent (who would later appear in a minor recurring role as DCI Roy Slater), Enn Reitel and Billy Murray all earlier preferences. It was only when producer Ray Butt saw a repeat of Open All Hours that Jason was considered LINK Given that Reg Varney was born in 1916 and would have been 65 when OFAH started, I'm going to have to call bullshit on this one.

Chris_Sleeps Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Paul is listening to his music, through the tiny speakers on his cheap mobile. He knows its annoying people, but he doesn't really care. Paul is on this bus, why aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
