Bob: I bet we could go right round the world and you'd have a pat response ready.

Terry Collier: I've travelled man, I've seen a bit of the world now you know.

Bob: What do you think of Koreans, for instance?

Terry Collier: Not to be trusted. Cruel people. Much the same as all Orientals.

Bob: That's a third of the world's population dismissed in a phrase. Russians?

Terry Collier: Sinister.

Bob: Egyptians?

Terry Collier: Cowardly.

Bob: Oh? I thought you might have saved that for Italians.

Terry Collier: No, no, they're greasy aren't they? Not as greasy as the French mind.

Bob: Germans?

Terry Collier: Arrogant.

Bob: Spaniards?

Terry Collier: Lazy.

Bob: Danes?

Terry Collier: Pornographic.

Bob: Well that's just about everyone. Oh, Americans?

Terry Collier: Well, they're flash aren't they?

Bob: So it's just down to the British, is it?

Terry Collier: Well, I haven't got much time for the Irish or the Welsh, and the Scots are worse than the Koreans.

Bob: And you never could stand Southerners.

Terry Collier: To tell you the truth I don't like anybody much outside this town. And there's a lot of families in our street I can't stand either. Come to think of it, I don't even like the people next door.

Bob: I see, so from the distant blue Pacific through the barren wastes of Manchuria, to 127 Inkerman Terrace, you can't abide anyone.

James Bolam alledgedly fell out with him an age ago they never spoke - Bewes wanted the few remaining episodes to be shown again on the BBC for copyright monies this was denied by Bolam - I heard him chat about this on Radio Two the fall out etc a sad state of affairs - he did his one man show at the Edinburgh Festival taking his gear up himself in an estate and car trailer, he never got much TV work on the scale of James Bolam it's a shame their partnership fell apart after the 2nd series!
That 2nd series was brilliant acting from both of them - RIP Rodney Bewes

Brilliantly written and crafted but great casting as well, you can't really imagine two other actors playing the parts, you really could relate to them being like you and your best mate sitting in the pub putting the world to right.

If you read it through it could be just like comments from a thread on here.

As previously stated a great shame they fell out and James Bollam didn't come out of it well.

RIP Rodney Bewes.
