Good principles? It's obvious you only 'know' them through a TV screen!

Mmm ask her about her first child!

@@margolenney6032 Exactly.

SHOULD HAVE HAD A SIMILAR DEVOTION TO RODNEY BEWS

'Sergeant Jack Ford and Jessie Seaton' please - by far the best period drama ever on television, brilliant scripts and so well acted.

Wonderful series just started watching it again

Bolam hated Bewes.

It's a wonder they didn't blame Rodney Bewes for it .....

Great comment 👍

He went to the Central School of Speech and Drama.

That's a load of rubbish

@@neilconnolly485 I totally agree with you I'm bored sick reading all these negative comments about James Bolam. one would swear he was responsible for all Bewes misfortune. if they have nothing positive to say about James they should keep their mouths shut and their opinions to themselves.

Get your facts straight my friend. What you've said is total rubbish.

Steven, sad to say but it was Rodney Bewes who started the feud with untrue comments in the papers which later he retracted but unfortunately the damage had been done. It is a shame but James Bolam never forgave him.

@@thedoc4447 maybe he did let slip a couple of comments to the press but he apologised and if Bolam had anything about him he would have accepted it. Not cancelled him for life

So, tell us precisely what you know about that rift that we don't know about. Facts, please, not speculation.

@@longasaya it’s not hard to access footage from Rodney Bewes himself that Bolam permanently ostracised him after a 1976 interview by Bewes that Bolam felt was indiscreet. The vendetta was relentless and spiteful to the extent that Bolam refused ever to allow repeats of The Likely Lads which would have greatly eased financial pressure on Bewes who, unlike Bolam, never made it big and struggled to manage in his later years. Bolam is a cantankerous piece of work but this environmental campaigning certainly is laudable (and his wife Susan is a delightful lady who is every bit as sincere as this clip would suggest).

@@gerardmackay8909 Bolam did not have the ability to block repeats.

@@MarkHarrison733 your source is definitive Mark mine speculative?

@@gerardmackay8909 In interviews in his final years Rodney Bewes would often claim that James Bolam had vetoed repeats of the series. The reality, however, was that, since the series finished its run in 1974, episodes from both versions of the sitcom had been repeated on BBC One or Two in 1975, 1977, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1989, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004, plus 2013 and 2015, in addition to countless re-runs on the satellite channels, as well as numerous repeats of the BBC radio adaptations, and have remained an option in terms of subsequent mainstream repeats. Bolam said, "How could I do that? I can't stop repeats. A, I get paid for them, which is very nice, and B, there's no way I could do that even if I'd wanted to."

They are both hypocritical socialist twats

Yes indeed we all breathe the same polluted air, we all drink the same polluted water. If you are retired actors

If you are retired actors Footballers or coal miners, as long as you care and speak out surely that is what counts.

Your opinion - You should learn to respect a persons private life before opening your mouth.

Can see now why his friendship with Bewes ended. It started when he met Susan. He changed, they both look like they are up themselves

In Sue & James’s case ‘no’. They were involved initially in campaigning against Celtique Energie’s proposal to exploratory drill between Wisborough Green & Kirdford. That campaign was successful & after discovering how futile & destructive the process is in small villages around the U.K they decided to ‘continue’ to campaign with other groups against other proposals for unsuitable sites. Don’t forget that hydraulic fracturing in the U.K is merely a ponzi scheme to gain huge investment to artificially inflate the financial attributes of companies portfolios, and the cost............destroying local ecology, endangering the progression & sustainability of flora & fauna, not to mention the corrosion of community cohesion. These cowboys move in, gain investment from non local investors, wreck the beautiful landscape, fail to provide any long term energy needs, then keep investors ‘on the hook’ for the ‘big payoff’ down the road. It’s nothing more than a glorified pyramid scheme where the average Joe foots the Bill for corporate gain all the while destroying the countryside. Jameson & Bolam among others have used their celebrity status to highlight the issue & have done a sterling job. Their input had ‘nothing’ to do with personal gain from property devaluation. As I started the initial campaign that was successful at Wisborough green I can tell you that as a matter of ‘fact’. I obviously can not speak for others that ‘may’ have asset protectionism as part of a wider agenda, but in ‘this’ instance, no.

Might be if they were planning to sell their house but I'd doubt that.

futtocks23 like you would fucking know. Stop spreading bullshit you know fuck all about.

Some people can't handle the truth about supposed celebrities like this miserable pair! If they met Bolam or Jameson they'd soon stop blowing smoke up their wrinkly, overrated arses.

@@stewartkee6115 Apparently it's true though, you should learn the real facts before gobbing off. It's up to them how they handle their own private lives.

@@glamdolly30 its only because they are tree huggers that they are being supported. Susan Jameson is not a nice person. Sticks out a mile actually

What in tarnation has Rodney Bewes got to do with it?

Shame on you Bolam for the 40 Yr feud with Bewes. Too late now pal. The better man went first.

Daz Auto That’s all in the past

Shame on you Bolam for that pathetic one sided, 40 Yr feud with Bewes. Sadly the better man went first.

@@greatwesternproductions2857 Read up on it pal your wrong

Absolute garbage. The truth has come out now and far from being the better man as one of the guy's who has already replied to you has said it was in fact Rodney Bewes that was the cause of all the trouble. You and many like you open your mouths without knowing anything about what really happened and you all own James Bolam an apology.

It wasn't just Rodney Bewes who lost out but the rest of the cast.

@@scottfraser8825 rubbish. They both look stuck up.

Plenty of people are estranged from family. Get a grip! Two damn fine actors. So what if they're aloof.

@@carloscasillero4422 You're right, they've done some great acting work especially early in their careers. But I was referring to this video in which they are not acting, but instead setting out their stall as human beings. And very preachy and sanctimonious they are too! I once met this couple professionally and didn't like them at all. They were insufferable - extremely rude, arrogant and superior in manner. I get a big whiff of hypocrisy off this video. If you like them, or don't care either way, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm merely expressing mine. We must speak as we find in this life.

@@carloscasillero4422 Yes, how silly of us. Being proficient at anything automatically assuages the need for qualities such as basic humanity, compassion, forgiveness and perspective.

I met James Bolam and he was an utter gent. One of my friends interviewed Susan, she saw his DVDs of When the Boat Comes In, and asked if he would liked them signed by her and James. He couldn't believe his luck when she took them home with her and both her and James signed them and brought them back to his home.

@@viewerdotcomviewerdotcom2926 So you met James Bolam, and your friend met Susan Jameson, in totally unconnected encounters, and both of you found them charming? How extraordinary!

As far as I can tell the site was shut down because of poor flow so not commercially viable.

Mark Rees perhapes you should shut the fuck up.

Well said, they are a pair of miserable hypocrites, pretending to save the environment - all they care about is the value of their property portfolio.

Shame on Bolam for the pathetic, one sided 40 Yr feud with Bewes. Anyhow the better man went first. Hold your head in shame.
