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! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2RoudtrVv8 |

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. |

OK - Start with a bit of van Porn for Andy   but what about the dreaded Sherpa  wot was the last year they were produced As a kid can remember our Bedford Dormobile (like this one)  Driving with the door was great, except when you stopped suddenly, mind your hands, feet or head! an early People Mover? |
