A great man and a sad loss. I remember very well the laughs he gave me as I was growing up. Given the era in which he was at his peak I'm suprised that I don't remember him being in any of the Carry On films. RIP Eric and thanks for so many memories.

A great man, I agree, pity we seem to loose a lot of good guys.
He wrote a lot of scripts for others, especially the Goons, brilliant.
good film, great seeing the other actors, the old cars and loads of places to park cars!

Wow - good eye sight.
I wonder what was the last van that came with sliding doors?

If you mean sliding front doors, then the Bedford CF I think, unless you know different? It outlived the Mk1 Transit which ceased production at the end of 1985.

DHL vans still use them but I suppose that doesn't count.

OK - Start with a bit of van Porn for Andy (http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSkDsHdEqc-zce13wUZPwNavvrYwS4E8p4wyxx7361qpdYbOJrAug0SzcXRWg)

but what about the dreaded Sherpa (http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae292/HairyKabab/5458960443_396dfff31d_z.jpg)
wot was the last year they were produced
As a kid can remember our Bedford Dormobile (like this one) (http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3205/2728614251_5f687ef206_z.jpg?zz=1)
Driving with the door was great, except when you stopped suddenly, mind your hands, feet or head!
an early People Mover?
