Talking about his least favourite role, that of Bert Ramford in the
Clive Dunn show
Grandad (1979): "Only last year, I was on my way back from Athens and the plane was diverted and didn't land till 5 am.
It had been a long flight, I was really tired and in need of a good
shower. Then suddenly at the airport, a group of teenagers shouted,
"Oi, it's that geezer from
Grandad (1979)!. It seems there's no escape from Bert."
