Stephen Lewis played Blakey superbly. Was the best character on the show in my humble opinion
Roger that 😄
@@cskukyes Blakey was the real star. ❤🎉
Easily the best character followed by arthur
After watching most of his interviews, he seems to be a genuinely lovely bloke .......... RIP Stephen !!!
A comic legend and one of a kind. Rest in peace knowing you gave so much joy and laughs to so many.
He seems like such a genuinely nice man. Loved him as Blakey.
I don't think I ever saw him in anything without his 'Blakey' persona
Blakey , my favourite sitcom character, played so well by Stephen.What a lovely bloke as well .
Absolutely fantastic story of how he started and the rest is history so sad the cast on the buses are not with us anymore.
Probably the most genuine, lovely, honest and great actor ever... Rest easy Stephan.. You are missed my friend... God bless x
Very enjoyable to hear him speak about his life,I only ever heard him before as Blakey and Smiler 😂
A lovely gentleman, sorry that he is no longer with us.
No gurning, no "I 'ate you Butler", just a nice well spoken and actually quite handsome gentleman. There was a lot more to Stephen than just Blakey and Smiler. Sleep well Stephen.
What a lovely, humble, interesting and talented man. Great stuff
It's nice to hear his real voice.
What a lovely man .
I’ve got the whole series. Brilliant!
Excellent work capturing these wonderful personal testimonies of the cast, who are sadly no longer with us. Thank you.
Not in a million guesses would I put that voice to Blakey, I'd never guess it was Stephen Lewis.
A truly dear man. Ive never heard his 'real voice' before - what a shock so well spoken! GET THAT BUS OUT!
Thankyou for this ....look for Stephen in the film "A Prize of Arms" with Stanley Baker and Tom Bell. He was very good in that i would love to of heard his recollections of that role in 1962.
That's a good call out. I have not seen A Prize of Arms, I'll be sure to look out for it. A super actor, and a wonderful man by all accounts.
@@RABBITANDSNAIL yes it is a supporting role,he is a Military Policeman MP and has quite a few lines in the first half of the film. Also Michael Robbins appears briefly as a military payroll clerk👍😀 . It’s one of my favourite films,almost as good as On the Buses😊
I grew up in the 1970's, our family loved this show. Nice to see Stephen as he is talking, lovely gent, I've only ever seen him being Blakey.
I find it hard to get my head round the fact that in real life Stephen Lewis and Bob Grant, worked so well as a team to write the O.T.B script, fifty years on we still have a laugh at the old episodes……”I’ll get you Butler!!!’…😀😅😂🤣
I still watch on the Buses today. Quality British comedy with Quality actors
Lovely Man ❤❤ Thanks for the comedy Stephen!
Wonderful ….👍
Talent stands out!
Wonderful great story days before health and safety comedy gold
P
Love the series then still love it now
Hats oaff to Rabbit & Snail for taking the trouble to respond, in writing, to the Comments by "0rdinary" TH-cam viewers. As for Stephen Lewis, fabulous actor, fabulous Man.
There was so much more opportunity back then, things happened in such a lovely way for people. I did like him he was v funny, lots of it was TBH.
He actually lapsed into Blakey at the very end❤😂🎉
02:33. He slightly turns into Blakey. When he said "We framed the letter, and hung in the producers' room". His lip movement, especially his bottom lip
Even when he took the part of Smiler in last of the summer wine, it was more like seeing Blakey in retirement up in Yorkshire.
'Ooh I ate you Butler'
Get that bus out!
GET THAT BUS OUT 🤣🤣🤣
every ticket inspector in the country be it bus or rail was called blakey after that.
Could listen to Stephen reminiscing until the cows come home.
I enjoyed him as Smiler on Last of the Summer Wine. Always ended up doing something he really didn't want to do after being conned into it by the others or Auntie Wainwright
Feels weird, seeing him without a moustache.
*I HATE YOU BUTLER* 🤣🤣🤣
What a lovely man
