Loved bread in the 80s

Fabulous, nothing like it and never will be. I wish that DSS lady would appear again elsewhere. She was terrific

[@mistofoles]

Yes, her real name was Pamela Power. You don't see her in much else, but she did make a brief appearance in a Cup-a-soup advert roundabout the same time.

[@PaulDoe79]

[@richallenxbox1976]

I think she was in Coronation St earlier this year as a Cop.

I fancied Joey- the first one -Peter Howitt. Yes grandad was lovely

[@TheAceCorporation]

Same. Also this comment reminded me of how whenever they bring up a woman in the show Billy immediately goes: "I fancy her."

I know Liverpudlians didn't like this show much but I loved it.

[@patrickgallimore6896]

"Bread" is to sitcoms, what Bentley is the motor car industry...What a great sitcom name, brilliant cast and hilarious characters. "Bread" is such an appropriate name, for that wonderful sitcom, too, because good bread is nourishing, sustaining and satisfying, for our bodies, just like, "Bread" satisfies us, mentally and emotionally, and sustains our attention, because it's so highly entertaining, and it nourishes our soul, because it brings us so much laughter. Thank GOD for bread and "Bread".

[@leewright3410]

Loved it .takes me back

[@DanaJones-hj7mi]

Great man x

[@mistofoles]

Kenneth Waller (Grandad) was much younger then the part he played - he dyed his hair white and wore a false moustache for the part.

Martina on the phone lol. Good evening Mr Boswell

[@DEC19775]

Such a classic comedy grandad made it

[@89awcock]

This is absolutely priceless and also features the original Joey who was in my mind that best actor to play him and the original aveline so it's clear original cast brilliant

[@Oksana7305]

Yes the first Joey was better as an actor, he was charming and cheeky as well as a flirt but the second was better looking but staid. Just lectured Maybe that's why they chose Graham , I don't know.

[@englandshope689]

i LOVE the ORIGINAL Aveline...shes so daffy but cute.Joey as well

[@gladiatorsfan1992]

Ur awesome as Martina did Martina have a surname Pam?

[@Gbonejohn1974]

im one of the few who liked the second joey equally as much and way preferred melanie hill as aveline ...gilly coman whilst being very cute had the most grating voice in the world,she actually ruined it for me when she was in a scene

Where's Jack?

[@ERstat77]

The actor had left the show at this point.

[@markdavidson9100]

He came back in series 5

[@markdavidson9100]

Wonder what Jack thought of it, he was in America at the time

[@PaulDoe79]

At its peak Bread was earning 21 million viewers a week. Then 2 cast members left. Producers recast but audiences never accepted them and the ratings began to fall. Sad too as the first four seasons were amazing.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Paul O'Brien Peter Howitt (Joey) went onto write and direct Sliding Doors 😀
