Sad demise
I only knew of Barry Evans in this sitcom- his other work (and even MYL) was before my time.
It's sad though to read of his later life- couldn't find acting work so had to take up taxi driving, must have been a real let down for the once popular (and no doubt fairly rich) actor.
RIP Mr Evans.
PS: I'm not saying that taxi driving is a bad occupation, my point is that from where he once was, it would have been such a come down.
