London's Burning - Bayleaf's Last Day 

James Hazeldine would of been 75 today if he was still here. Happy Birthday gorgeous. Xx

The show lost so much after Bayleaf left. I mean, they held it together through Series 9, but Bayleaf was a big part of the show's heart and soul! If only Sicknote could have stayed till the end...

James Hazeldine was one of the best actors ever. So sad he died so young

London's Burning went downhill when characters like Bayleaf & John Hallam left then even worse when they killed off Sicknote at the end of series 12 and Recall in the last series

What’s really fun about this scene is Nick was always such a no-nonsense officer who didn’t like pranks and wanted everyone and everything by the book. You can tell he’s in on it because he knew not to go down the pole and you can see him smirking right before Bayleaf hits the bottom. So fun seeing Nick in on a prank.

The saddest ever moment of the series as Baleaf leaves. he must be one of the best tv characters ever.

James Hazeldene a great actor

I didn't know James Hazeldine died, very sad, Bayleaf was one of the show's best characters

Over-actor Alford getting in on the action as usual.

As off as ot sounds I miss James Hazeldine even now. RIP gorgeous. Xx

Love how Nick was in on the Wheeze too.

Bayleaf was my favourite character when i saw he left i was sad we never seen him and when we lost all of the OG crew i was depressed but seening as the show digged itself a grave in 2002 i think it was for the best

Bayleaf was gorgeous 😍

Aww. Bayleaf was so sweet. It's nearly 20 years since James died. Xx

I loved watching this programme it was one of the best on tv at the time....awww lovely memories for me.

I never knew James Hazeldine directed some of londons burning

Bayleaf is one of the best characters in londons burning

I've still got my London fire brigade bomber jacket. It was a good uniform and we could do away with the blue shirts at last

Pearce actually looked like he was enjoying himself!

i think of all the firefighters on london's burning, Bayleaf is the one I would want to rescue me the most
