My sentiments exactly. Harry was portrayed as a brute of a man and neither him nor Wilfrid smiled for the last ten years of their livescharlie wrote:Didn't think much to it myself,,, Harry came across as a wife beating ,womeniser. abit like a' dirty den ' bloke.!
Was Willy miserable for all the 14 years.? I think not.. as you say they wouldn't have carried on for so long just because it was a 'good gritty drama'. once again we're left with more questions than answers....!

We can't be on the best of terms with people ALL the time. That is not human nature. And I'm sure touring is NOT the most glamorous thing in the world. It would put a strain on the best of friendships!!!!!!!!
Are there any outtakes existing out there of their shows? That might show how they enjoyed themselves during the making of the series'.
