[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 382393, member: 23"] It ran for two series, so the first probably performed reasonably well, but I don't ever remember it screening, so it's safe to say it wasn't popular enough to repeat much - if at all. The premise appeared to be Blakey retiring to Spain with his sister. An even more curious spin-off was the LWT revival of [I]The Rag Trade[/I], from the same writers as [I]On The Buses.[/I] They included Anna Karen's Olive as one of the factory workers, which is a little bizarre when it's considered that Reg Varney had played a main character - entirely unrelated to Stan - in the earlier BBC series.
