The adventures of Bob Ferris (Rodney Bewes) and Terry Collier
(James Bolam).
Bob is the 'sensible' one, doing his best to get on with his job
and 'better himself'.
Terry is the 'irresponsible' one, intent on living
life to the full. He's forever getting himself (and Terry) into
trouble of one kind or another. The 'lads' work together and spend
their evenings boozing and doing their best to 'pull birds'.
Allegedly, the boys drank real beer on the show
- in one episode Bewes estimated he got through 9 pints of bitter.
Is that 'likely'?
One of the classic sitcoms of the 1960s, many of
the recordings were 'lost' when the original master tapes were wiped
at the end of the 1960s. Only 8 episodes of The Likely Lads are
known to still exist.
Revived in 1973 as Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?
