It was only when Stan left and they brought Olive's character to the fore that you realised how irritating she was and started to sympathise with old 'Arfur's plight!

The lose of Michael Robbins after series 6 was definately a downward turn,then to have Stan (Reg Varney) leave in the middle of series 7 was truly odd.Also the whole series in general missed an oppurtunity to add pathos to stan's character after he gets twarted by family/Blakey/women in general,which Galton And Simpson did with Harold steptoe.Still it was nice to see stephen Lewis and Bob Grant write some episodes.
