    For the slightly younger BBS readers he was a star in a program called On the Busses many years ago - amongst other things

    Died peacefully this afternoon

    RIP...

    They even show(ed) "On the Buses" here in Finland, and even if I wasn't a regular watcher and wouldn't have even known who Reg Varney is, he was obviously a very funny man, so rest in peace Mr Varney. (RIP)

    Loved 'On the Buses'.
    Great comedy programme and a great actor.
    Olive was a star too.
    Who was that mucky conductor?
