On The Buses star Stephen Lewis dies aged 88

Comedy actor Stephen Lewis, best known for playing Inspector Blake in the popular 1970s sitcom On The Buses, has died aged 88.

British Comedy Guide, 13th August 2015

This was an absolutely dire spin-off of the hugely popular 1970s sitcom, On The Buses. Stephen Lewis' bus inspector Blakey ("I 'ate you, Butler!") goes to live in Spain with his spinster sister (played by 70s sitcom stalwart Pat Coombs). Although On The Buses is enjoying a renaissance on cable/satellite, Don't Drink The Water has disappeared...

The Juggs, in a direct line of descent from Steptoe and Till Death, is very worth while turning into a series.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 2nd January 1970
