: The Likely Lads: The Other Side of the Fence
Written by Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais.Starring Rodney Bewes as Bob, James Bolam as Terry
(First shown on BBC-2)
The Likely Lads
In an entertainment era that shows an escalating tendency to concentrate on extravagant plots, wild decor, weird costumes, grotesque characters, and flamboyant dialogue, The Likely Lads stick out like a couple of healthy thumbs surrounded by sore fingers. Bob (Rodney Bewes) and Terry (James Bolam) are normal, undisturbed young Northerners. Their occupation is electrical engineering and their preoccupation is girls. Their adventures are thoroughly plausible. Only their gift for incisive repartee places them above the average.
But there's a little more than that to the phenomenal success of this series-which is now being re-run in its entirety (twenty episodes), and which is not only likely to be adapted for radio, but is also the inspiration for a forthcoming paperback of Likely Lads stories.
Dick Clement, the producer and co-author (with Ian La Frenais), thinks the close-knit involvement of the four collaborators is what made the show. ' The idea began as a revue sketch for amateur theatricals, a Christmas 1961 concert by the BBC's Ariel Players. I was a studio manager at the time, with an urge to write. Ian, a drinking crony who toiled in market research, and I used to collaborate on sketches in our spare time.
'In that concert I played one of the lads. Later that old sketch was expanded for my test programme on a director's course. The BBC thought it might be the basis for a series. Naturally we agreed and sat down to write six scripts. Finding the right actors took some timeâ until Jimmy and Rodney came along. Their sympathy with the series has been total. In fact Jimmy has recently been helping us with adaptations for a Likely Lads paperback.'
And the Lads themselves? James Bolam is just back from Broadway where he appeared in How's the World Treating You? and Rodney Bewes has been telling stories in Jackanory and playing Tony Lumpkin in She Stoops to Conquer at the Oxford Playhouse.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
