Stephen Lewis RIP

Actor Stephen Lewis died on the 12th August 2015, rest in peace.
Lewis played Inspector Blake in the 1970's TV show On The Buses otherwise known to the others as Blakey.
Anna Karen who played Olive is now the only member of the show that survives.
Stephen Lewis also played "Smiler" in Last Of The Summer Wine.

Another great character gone :cry:

Blakey was a unique character but I always thought he looked a bit like Hitler :lol:

RIP

I tell you what, On the Busses was a great show. I have saw the repeats recently and they are still humourous to this day. All the characters were unique and Blakey was just one of them.

Stephen Lewis was a great actor and played the part of Blakey so well.

Well what can I say about the passing away of Stephen Lewis?
This bloke played a big part in television humour. Another great character which we have a lack of in Britain today. On The Buses was always a "must watch" .... and still is if you have all them channels and search them well ;)

RIP

To be fair he had lead a long life and was very successful in his acting career. Another icon passes away. A sad loss.

The only characters I have seen Stephen Lewis play are those where you feel sorry for him :lol:
I am not moaning as I thought what he did was great.

Sad news.
"I hate you Butler"
"You're sacked, Butler"
:lol:

Stephen Lewis' name in the show "On The Buses" was Cyril Blake and as you know it was shortened to just "Blakey".
