British Comedy Guide, 17th June 2021Interview with Mike Grady
The actor, best known as Ken in Citizen Smith and Barry in Last of the Summer Wine, discusses some of his other television roles with Suite 101.
Adrian Peel, Suite 101, 26th September 2011Back for a 29th season, the world's longest-running sitcom (with every episode still written by the redoubtable Roy Clarke) survives all attempts to inhibit its quest for eternal life - even an insurance policy that bars 87-year-old stalwart Frank Thornton, who plays 'Truly' Truelove, from filming outdoor scenes.
Rumours abound that Russ Abbott (a spring chicken at 60) will be joining the cast but first Brian Conley pops up as Barry's (Mike Grady) fitness-mad neighbour who outshines him in all things physical. Yet when it comes to karate, it seems Barry has a way to level the playing field.
