Reg Varney Has Left the Bus Stop
I just heard that Reg Varney has died, today, at the age of 92. I suppose most will remember him in "On the Buses" but I remember him being a comedian/pianist before that. Versatile chap, was Reg.

Re: Reg Varney Has Left the Bus Stop
Very Sad News indeed, still watch the Dvd's of On The Buses to this day. I believe he was a good Artist too!

Re: Reg Varney Has Left the Bus Stop
When my mum was poorly, I went and bought her some on the buses videos, and she really laughed at them. In fact the staff had to go and make sure that she was ok as she laughed that much.
I didn't realise he was that old though. RIP Reg, and thanks for the memories

Re: Reg Varney Has Left the Bus Stop

Re: Reg Varney Has Left the Bus Stop
'On the Buses' was one of the worse Comedies of the '60's/70's; nevertheless, it remains infinitely better than the politically correct rubbish that today passes for comedy. As for Mr Varney, I did not know him and as far as I am aware he had no connections with Accy, so I shall not waste further bytes in posting meaningless condolences.
