Very sad he had so much to give in on the buses he was Jack the lad but behind closed doors he was lost unhappy...RIP BOB...I hope you found the peace and happiness you couldn't find here on earth...
I think he was very happy during the time he was On The Buses and when it ended he found the long days without work hard to cope with. He needed to perform and the longer the days the more the depression set in. We never know what is round the corner. R.I.P. Bob
SO SO SAD JACK WHAT A FUNNY MAN MADE US ALL LAUGH THROUGH THE YEARS AM A 28 YEAR OLD AND STILL WATCH ALL THE SERIES AND FILMS ON DVD SO SAD TO KNOW SOMEONE SO FUNNY WAS HURTING INSIDE. GOD BLESS R.I.P JACK ,BOB GRANT
Grant, Reg, the actress who played Olive and the others were just perfect casting in a knockabout comedy classic that didnt pretend to be anything else but...knockabout. Grant & Varney had chemistry, convinced that they were real buddies, and both played up to the stereotype with real affection.
@James Henderson Ive seen you trolling other classic comedy youtube videos spouting your bollocks. If you dont like it then fuck off and watch something else. Prick.
As a lifelong depressive, I know how suicide draws you, tries to suck you in...the pain of sheer hopelessness can be indescribable. Opting out isn't giving up - don't ever think that - sometimes it's strong person who says, "OK, I've tried and tried, and now I've had enough..." Rest in peace, Bob.
I saw this video via the On The Buses forum a while ago. It still gets to me. It was such a sad way Bob left us. Like Reg and all the other cast members from OTB that are no longer with us, you will live forever in our hearts. RIP :'(
Hope you found the peace you were looking for Jack, you made my childhood magical, I stayed in to watch your antics. And the wonder of your legacy? My children laugh out loud at you, what a wonderful gift you left behind. Thank you.
Met Bob Grant in the early 80's nice well spoken man we chatted for about 5 mins he said thanks for talking to me that was nice to say i said yes thank you for your acting lovely man xx
@@rebeccaryan3621 Hi Rebecca sorry for the late reply as i have only just seen your comment over a year, I met Bob Grant coming out of a Hurst's a shop in Ventnor Isle of Wight where i still live i see the shop everyday and have that wonderful memory of meeting Bob Grant, as i said we chatted to each other he was a lovely man and he was doing a summer season on the Isle of Wight, hope you are keeping well....Stay safe.
He was an absolute gem.. aim in my 30s but my patents talked about him and we always watched on the buses.. he made that show.. Sleep right.. and Hold Very Tight Now Please... xx 😢
Grew up watching this in the 70s. Was my favourite program as a young child in mid 70s. My Mum is working class from midlands and we used to watch this together! I never knew this actor suffered after the program ended. RIP. I’m 50 now and life is all too real ! Society in many ways has deteriorated and is vile.
Good auld Bob, Jack, still watch on the buses, great sit com, it was a great British institution, good on yer Bob, last bus to the cemetery gates, Rest in peace pal
Meet Bob at the Commonwealth Games in NZ in 1974 he was on stage at the Town Hall Final night he came out for a break and spoke with us who were serving drinks Jaycee manpower nice bloke RIP Bob.
so tragic ' i remember at the time hearing about his death' how many other actors fade away like bob god help them. as marvin gaye once sung ' i just turned around around and he was gone.
Thank You Bob Grant, for all the laughter you brought to me, not only when On The Buses was new in the early 1970's, but every holiday when the films are shown. You were a superb professional who always gave your all in every performance. Hope you and Reg are laughing up there in Heaven. God bless.
Depression is a terrible beast. I once heard of a woman who suffered from it. She got over it and then for some reason was confined to a wheelchair. She said between the wheelchair or depression she’d choose the wheelchair any day. God Bless You Bob x
I was 12 years old when the show was in black and white in 1969, loved the humour it and was my mother favourite show. Then I moved to Canada and became bored with comedy on TV so I ordered the complete set and never regretted. Great show. Jack Harper was so funny when he would chase the girls with Reg. Nice video of Jack. RIP Jack
rip Bob Grant. watching you and the others in on the buses saved my life. it got me through my drug addiction. he will always be loved I'm 29 and I will introduce my children to on the buses when they are older and I know they will love him and love it too.
its always the way, the people who make you laugh, are the ones hurting inside. I think it is such a shame he never got the help he should of done, i think itv had a duty of care toward him and should of helped with his mental health a bit more. Rest in peace to a great actor and a good person,
Lovely tribute Kim. I've just finished watching On The Buses, the movie on ITV3 today. Funniest thing I've seen in ages! I laughed myself silly. Bob Grant is missed but not forgotten.
God bless your comment and ŷour quite right my father was a bus driver all his life I was bought up with lovely funny shows like this and I feel privileged to be a child of the 60s
Only discovered On the busses last month and watched it all and so sad after reading about his life RIP mate , you are a great talent and always we will love you
Watched it when i was 12 years of age i am 61 now and still watch the repeats on itv 2 in the mornings only anna karan left not so sure about glen whitter who played chalkie great actors the lot of them and a great video and music
Bob grant one of my fav actors,he’d ran into hiding once as he thought nobody cared about him and depression kicked in,his famous friends pleaded with him to return hom to this he did,find in the streets kept asking him where’s jack and this lead him into depression again cuz he thought he couldn’t get more work in 2003 he sat in his car in his garage one day put the car hose in and committed suicide carbon monoxide poison,sad way to go. Rest in peace jack sadly missed by your family andcfans
Hello, Kim. Thank you for the tribute. Bob was a lovely lovely man. A victim of his own genius, and a terrible way to end his life. Bless him. Thank you Bob for making us laugh so much. Cor, Blimey! x
thank you so much Bob Grant for your role in "On the buses" fixing stan up with the new crumpet and your funny laugh in the series was and is so good to watch you still in 2020. all i can say Bob thanks alot never met you but would of love to met all "on the Buses" cast it probably didnt get the praise it perhaps should of. many thanks to the cast,creators, script writers for making a great comedy give me special childhood memories cant thank you all enough
I recently bought the box set, not having appreciated the series when I was a kid in the 70's. Only £30 including the films! They were all great but Arthur is my fave. Love his dry humour and the way the actor cracks up! Bob Grant RIP
Bob had Depression, as me and many other people. As hard as it gets talk to your loved one. He hung himself greatly missed. A very eloquent man. Public school boy. RIP Bob, bet you and Reg, Stephen, are having a party in Heaven.
Wonderful tribute! My family & I watched On The Buses in Canada when I was a child. Great show and very nice tribute. Jack & Stan were a hiarious team. Rip Bob Grant & I hope you & Reg Varney are together again.🌷 A beautiful song. ❤️❤️
Bob Grant was the Kindest person you could ever meet and I am sure that everyone who watches this video and the On The Buses Series will aggree with me he was one of the best.Rest in Peace Bob you are Still the Number one and you where the best Conductor and the friendliest Person anyone could ever hope to meet.
Always loved this series, even watch the repeats now, Bob was that ingredient that just seemed to make the comedy just non stop, always quipping some funny remark, he was an absolute gem in my eyes, a brilliant comedy actor who has always been missed, he could and should have been in a lot more shows and films. RIP Bob, a true legend of comedy!!!
I watch these old episodes over and over, they would never get away with a lot of the content today. Great chemistry between Bob and Reg, both playing up and having a giggle somewhere else now as we all shuffle around
Thank you so much for this upload, I have always thought Bob grant was over looked and definitely underrated as a actor , comedian he was my favourite character of on the buses with his quick whips. He unfortunately couldn't secure another substantial role which was a travesty . I watch on the buses regularly, it was a reflection of the working classes at the time and the struggles with management and hierarchy, with strong unions that are so sadly lacking today after Thatcher's treachery.
A great Tribute to Bob Grant from on the Buse's, One of my favorite Comedy shows,He will be sadly missed.The good old day's of British Comedy,Fun Times for me,Thank's for posting.Check out my Original Tribute song to John Lennon and the Beatles Called,Everlasting Memory.Chris J Marr.
This made me cry Iam only fifteen and I love on the buses and I loved bobs character jack witty and will always be in our hearts I love this tribute it made me cry also on the buses showed us young people what it was like back then cos now we sort of easy and they had it tough the BBC should have found him something cos he wasn't going to just be remembered as bus conductor they should have gave him a chance and maybe he wouldn't have committed suicide. Rip Bob grant you were an amazing actor and man.rip.
Where do I start jack Stan inspector Blake we’re so funny and the rest of the family can’t do comedy like it anymore he was such a good actor rip Bob grant
depression is a terrible condition....most keep it inside...thats the worst part...i know my father sufffered from it and ended with a stroke and he died at 64. so young...
Such a shame. Its only now mental health issue are being highlighted..and thts another shame..ive gone thru a lot and i still am..totally empathise with bob..and today im still not getting help.
When Bob played Jack Harper he looked as though he enjoyed every moment.
Very sad he had so much to give in on the buses he was Jack the lad but behind closed doors he was lost unhappy...RIP BOB...I hope you found the peace and happiness you couldn't find here on earth...
I met Bob on holiday years ago when asked him for an autograph he happily obliged .a very nice man.rip
He nailed it with his bus conductor character and remains an icon.....a shame that his life ended the way it did.
Brilliant Actor Bob Grant was taken away to soon
I have been in a dark place sometimes with depression
This is really sad RIP
Bob Grant x
I think he was very happy during the time he was On The Buses and when it ended he found the long days without work hard to cope with.
He needed to perform and the longer the days the more the depression set in.
We never know what is round the corner. R.I.P. Bob

It was such a racist series.
Or perhaps it comes from a time when we could laugh at ourselves without upsetting everyone. Love thy neighbour was pretty outrageous too

Very moving tribute never heard this song before but omg so moving for a great actor , So sad he felt so bad when he was so loved 🙏❤️🙏
