Bernard Wrigley plays the ever-complaining Bob, who grumbles about the liver, bacon, Jean's underwear, and tries to get a cup of tea. From series 2 in 1999
Victoria Wood was not only a brilliant writer she was generous giving some of the best lines to the others in her ensemble. Bernard delivered them on point!
Yes, she knew that the best ensemble casts always share out the laughs. Every cast member in everything she ever did was spot-on and Bernard was one of the very best there was in Dinnerladies.
Bob trying to get a cup of tea in between the ladies gossiping is the funniest piece in the whole of the series. I don’t even like tea but this makes me laugh everytime I see it.
Bernard Wrigley is really funny..he was also the chap who brought all the games and fruit machines to the Phoenix Club ..and he was Lisas first husband in Emmerdale
euronick61 Just seen this - don't forget he was also the hotel manager in the salesman episode of Coogan's Run, orchestrated the bike rally in The Parole Officer and narrated the ancient customs and traditions feature on Mark & Lards afternoon show on Radio 1 . . .
