He'll always be Blakey, but he was also a prison officer in Carter USM's Young Offenders Mum video -

The exasperated Bus Depot Inspector with a passing resemblance to Hitler.

On The Buses was a Carry-On like sitcom where the bawdy humour looks a bit laboured today. We kids loved it, though.

This shows the famous 'tache better. My favourite characters were Reg Varney's dim-witted sister and her sneering, grouchy husband.

Olive was played by Anna Karen and that is what she looked at the time without makeup.
