It was an interesting role for him. Instead of his usual upper class suave bounder type, he was playing a rough round the edges publican. Unsurprisingly, though he gave the Cockney twang a bit of a bash and his hair was nowhere as perfectly coiffed as usual, he was unmistakably Peter Bowles. If you stopped around episode 3 you may have missed him by one episode. It's actually become more interesting now that a few more familiar faces are dropping by. The episode following Peter Bowles, Richard Bucket himself turned up. As did Derek Francis - a character actor who it feels like was in practically every British production of the Sixties and Seventies. This is definitely one of the more gentle ones. I do find this kind of tone quite comforting, and now that I'm getting into the rhythms of the series (six episodes, which is pretty much the first series) I'm finding the humour a little more. It was given a second and third series, so I'm guessing there were a number of people who enjoyed it (or at least watched it). Thanks BF.  I think it's starting to click with me. I'm almost a third of the way through now so it won't take long. But we'll see how long it feels. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
