Was quite shocked to see that the guy who played Jack Harper, Bob Grant committed suicide at the weekend. He was only 71.
I knew he had had problems, he went missing for a week a few years back.
Is Reg Varney still alive? I know Stephen Lewis is as he's been in 'Last of the Summer Wine'
They couln't make 'On The Buses Today' it would be too sexiest or something like that!

Couldn't be the sexiest not with Olive in it. Do you realise that On the Buses ran from 1969 until 1973 that's all of thirty years ago, doesn't seem that long.
