About this listen
Thirteen classic BBC radio episodes starring James Bolam and Rodney Bewes.
One of the most popular TV comedies of the 70s, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? won a best sitcom BAFTA and attracted an audience of millions before being adapted for radio.
In these 13 episodes, we catch up with Newcastle lads Bob and Terry as they meet by chance after years apart. Now engaged to Thelma, Bob is having pre-wedding nerves, while Terry, demobbed from the army, is having trouble adjusting to life in civvy street.
As they rekindle their friendship, Bob tries to find Terry a date, throws him a surprise party and takes him to the hairdressers to get a new look. In addition, Terry gets some shock news and helps Bob get ready for his and Thelma's big day....
