You're right, she came in as Norma in series 2. Iirc, she auditioned for the part of Dennis' wife (can't remember the characters name) for series 1, but didn't get the part....I'm sure the lass who did get passed away.
Dennis' wife was called Vera and was played by Caroline Hutchinson, she passed away in 1989 from cancer
Dennis trying to persuade Arthur pringle to let some of them back in the pub. "We're just honest hard working men who want a quiet pint and conversation by your fireside after a hard days graft. We're not rapists, thieves or vagabonds", Oz shouts from the door. "Has that bastard given in yet Dennis"?
Oz having a kip in a coffin - "I've told you never to wake me in daylight slave" Best TV series ever.
just finished watching series 3 now, could not remember it was the BBC that brought it back but there was far too big a gap between it and the second series...maybe not quite as bad as you say but certainly missing something the first two had.
He ended up in loads of movies after Auf Wiedersen, even Batman! Also remember him in Ashes to Ashes and thought he was very good. A few of them have gone on and had good acting careers.
Oz trying to catch Waynes attention by throwing a brick at him always makes me laugh. Poor Wayne is just sitting minding his own business listening to his Walkman and Oz chucks a half charlie at him to catch his attention, priceless.
At Oz’s house , he has supplied for the drinks some cheap Bulgarian wine.Moxey and ( ?) are agreeing just how awful it is. Moxey- “ it’s absolutely rank, I’ll be glad when I’ve had enough”
