Stephen Lewis played Blakey superbly. Was the best character on the show in my humble opinion

[@cskuk]

Roger that 😄

[@reynardbizzar5461]

@@cskukyes Blakey was the real star. ❤🎉

[@carlt9265]

Easily the best character followed by arthur

[@MrLadeside]

After watching most of his interviews, he seems to be a genuinely lovely bloke .......... RIP Stephen !!!

[@andrewdinatale8207]

I don't think I ever saw him in anything without his 'Blakey' persona

[@fus149hammer5]

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.

[@keyallens1808]

A comic legend and one of a kind. Rest in peace knowing you gave so much joy and laughs to so many.

[@alexandermacdougall7873]

He seems like such a genuinely nice man. Loved him as Blakey.

[@tazzatamania]

Not in a million guesses would I put that voice to Blakey, I'd never guess it was Stephen Lewis.

[@JohnCrowder-js8qz]

Wonderful great story days before health and safety comedy gold

[@kevinwoodruff8994]

Absolutely fantastic story of how he started and the rest is history so sad the cast on the buses are not with us anymore.

[@skoot2u]

Blakey , my favourite sitcom character, played so well by Stephen.What a lovely bloke as well .

[@andyc3856]

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.

[@dementedgray2576]

Probably the most genuine, lovely, honest and great actor ever... Rest easy Stephan.. You are missed my friend... God bless x

[@scopex2749]

A truly dear man. Ive never heard his 'real voice' before - what a shock so well spoken! GET THAT BUS OUT!

[@steely666]

It's nice to hear his real voice.

[@1960dave1960]

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!!!’…😀😅😂🤣

[@flashtheoriginal]

What a lovely, humble, interesting and talented man. Great stuff

[@Ozmulki]

I’ve got the whole series. Brilliant!

[@cazj101]

What a lovely man .

[@nicksmith12]

Excellent work capturing these wonderful personal testimonies of the cast, who are sadly no longer with us. Thank you.

[@TheCaulfield1]

Lovely Man ❤❤ Thanks for the comedy Stephen!

[@Timeslip1960]

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.

[@RABBITANDSNAIL]

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.

[@Timeslip1960]

@@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😊

[@michaelholmes4374]

P Love the series then still love it now

[@michaelwhiles5282]

Wonderful ….👍

[@reynardbizzar5461]

He actually lapsed into Blakey at the very end❤😂🎉

[@frankdsouza2425]

[@Carpathianrelinquished]
