Grant as Jack Harper in On the Buses

Bob Grant was an English actor, comedian and writer, best known for playing bus conductor Jack Harper in the television sitcom On the Buses, as well as its film spin-offs and stage version. He was born at Hammersmith and educated at Aldenham School. After National Service as a 2nd Lieutenant with the Royal Artillery he trained at the Preparatory Academy to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Highgate, London. He entered show business as a stand-up comic, playing the halls from Chelsea Palace to the Glasgow Empire. He played in repertory at York, Horsham, High Wycombe, Leicester, Oxford and Scarborough and toured with many productions including Big Soft Nellie and Charley's Aunt. He played Kitely in the Theatre Workshop production of Ben Jonson's Every Man in His Humour both at Stratford and the Théâtre Sarah‑Bernhardt, Paris, for the 1960 Fourth International Season of the Theatre of the Nations Festival. He was awarded the best supporting performance at the festival by the Young Critics Circle.

On the London stage he appeared in Blitz! at the Adelphi, Sparrows Can't Sing at Wyndham's and Mrs. Wilson's Diary at the Criterion, and Houses By The Green at the Royal Court. He wrote and directed Instant Marriage at the Piccadilly, and appeared in No Time for Sergeants at Her Majesty's, the latter on both radio and television. He played the part of George Brown in Mrs. Wilson's Diary for London Weekend Television, and appeared in Z-Cars, Softly, Softly, and The Borderers for the BBC. He played the role of Jack Harper in all 74 episodes of On the Buses for Independent Television, and as a writer with Stephen Lewis for a number of episodes from series 5 onwards. He reprised the role for the three On the Buses feature films that followed the series. He performed in many radio plays for the BBC and also wrote and performed The Frosty-Fresh Man for BBC Radio 4 and ABC Radio Canberra. In the latter part of his career, he spent much of his time writing plays in collaboration with Anthony Marriott. In the 1990s, he became well-known to Pitlochry Festival Theatre audiences with appearances in The Little Foxes, The Cherry Orchard, A Month of Sundays, Spider's Web, and Death of a Salesman.

Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ^ Opened in 1912 as the Carfax Electric Theatre, and later converted to a cinema.[1] Converted to a theatre in 1935, later known as the Court Royal, and finally the Royal, before closing in 1956.[2]
  2. ^ Annual public performance (1953) of the Repertory Group for the Preparatory Academy to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.[5]
  3. ^ A decision was taken to rename the theatre as the Intimate Theatre. The announcement was made to the audience on 28 February 1955 by Neil Gibson, who explained that the change was to avoid confusion as to the professional status of the company: It was felt that the name 'Repertory Theatre' implied an amateur status.[48]
  4. ^ The original title was Bed for Beginners. The first dates were at the Norwich Hippodrome in the week commencing 30 July 1956.[82] In some theatres, the play was known as Pajama [sic] Tops.[83]
  5. ^ The company left London on 2 October 1960 and were scheduled to return on 6 October 1960 in a specially chartered plane.[96] However, they were left stranded at Copenhagen Airport, and the Stratford show on 6 October 1960 had to be cancelled.[97]
  6. ^ Macbird was refused a licence by the Lord Chamberlain on the grounds that it made fun of the head of state of a friendly power. It was presented at the Theatre Royal by the Theatre Royal Club, and only members of the club, or affiliated clubs, were able to buy seats.[110]
  7. ^ After George Brown's resignation from the Government on 15 March 1968,[115] the character of George Brown was switched with Barbara Castle, as the plot required a Cabinet Minister.[116]
  8. ^ In 1965, Alan Plater wrote a play for television called In The Nutter, about an anarchist who persuaded a northern town's dignitaries to paint the whole town white for an anniversary. Plater then expanded it into a light-hearted musical for the Harrogate Festival under the title Charlie Came to Our Town.[118]
  9. ^ Jonathan Daly, the original lead in Melbourne, walked out on the production a few weeks after its opening and flew back to America.[127] The Australian understudy, Allan Kingsford‑Smith, took over the role but box office takings dipped.[128]
  10. ^ In 1996, staged as Continental Call Girls at the St. Andrew's Lane Theatre, Dublin.
  11. ^ The farce Love's A Luxury was scheduled originally to play theatres, but the author, Edward Hoile, objected to the proposed nude scenes.[150]
  12. ^ The Café Theatre Company was established by Derek Woodward and presented popular theatrical productions featuring established British television actors in a dinner theatre setting in international hotel ballroom venues.[168]
  13. ^ The production company went into liquidation in early February, and the tour was cancelled after only three shows.[172]
  14. ^ The Independent Television Authority (ITA) objected to certain scenes that characterised George Brown, the former Foreign Secretary, as a drunk. London Weekend Television refused to make the cuts requested by the ITA, but eventually backed down, and the scenes were reshot.[220]
  15. ^ Shared with Cyril Cusack.[237]
