Although it wasn't a patch on the original episode and Ant and Dec seemed frankly too young for the parts, it was nonetheless an enjoyable and well-acted revival. It even featured a cameo appearance by Rodney Bewes, the actor who had originally played Bob, as a one-legged newspaper vendor - and also by Des Lynam, as himself.
