What captured the hopes and disappointments of 70s social mobility better than the pear-shaped face of Rodney Bewes? If he'd been French Eric Rohmer would have cast him like a shot. pic.twitter.com/Gy3FfqAzf9

‘Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads’ wasn’t just comedy, it spoke with subtlety and perception about class and social change.The aspirational Bob and Thelma were part of a shift from traditional working class values. They played it beautifully RIP Rodney Bewes
