[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 383157, member: 33"] I didn't realise that Reg Varney left the series and it continued without him. I can't see how that would work as he was so central to everything that happened on that show. I'm going to have to look on YouTube to watch an episode from season 7 to see what it looks like. Reg Varney isn't a bad actor, he was quite good in the film [I]The Best Pair of Legs in the Business[/I] (1979) so I can totally get what you highlighted about the rest of the cast seeming even more like caricatures without Stan and Arthur being there to make up for their inadequacies. Doris Hare had a tendency to be wooden in scenes that I've watched and I'm always amazed that she was a serious contender for the role of Lou Beale in [I]EastEnders[/I]. Stephen Lewis and Anna Karen are always pretty hammy in just about everything I've seen them in. [/QUOTE]
