"Who's That Talking to Lenny?" motorcyclist

[Onslow]

At the end of "Who's That Talking to Lenny?", Bobby Ball's character (Lenny of course) rides away on a motorcycle.

Just before, as the trio see him off, Lenny climbs onto the back of the motorcycle which has the driver waiting for him.

My wife and I looked at each other and said, "Is that Barry driving the motorcycle?"

If so when did Barry ever get a motorcycle? Or did someone just steal his glasses?

Barry and Lenny were cousins but I don't think the biker was supposed to be Barry. He did look a bit like him though.

Perhaps it was Mike Grady, albeit playing another anonymous character.

Did not realize Barry and Lenny were cousins. When and how was this explained? If so this makes me grin at the thought of Lenny and Edi in the same room as she eye rolls at his antics . I can see Lenny and Wesley getting along.

Didn't Barry ride a motorcycle with Ms. Avery's niece when they went out to play as a band at a pub?
- Just checked, the part I was thinking it was Ms. Avery driving the bike, not Barry in Wagoners Roll.

Sure does look like Barry with the glasses on the bike. Seems out of context if it is.

It was mentioned in 'Get Out of That Then' that Lenny was Barry's cousin.

Barry rode a moped in Extra Extra that he bought from Auntie Wainwright for Glenda's birthday.

Thanks, Roger.

Didn't Barry share a Motorbike with Tom's Protege , Mrs Avery's Niece Babs with Mrs Avery driving when they headed for that ill feted gig in Waggoner's Roll . So he can ride pillion with a Guitar strapped to his back , has knowledge of driving on a road so riding a motorbike without the Guitar to carry would have been a doddle.

I have sent Mike a message and asked the question

Great thinking, Terry.

Just had a reply from Mike and it was not him on the motorcycle

 

[Adrian Morris]

Maybe it was Glenda?.

 

[RickAns]

As nice as the thought may be, it's not Glenda.

Could be Barry's golfing buddy real name Mike Walling who was in Brushstrokes and appeared in the missing bus of Mrs Avery.

 

[RickAns]

I like the show Brushstrokes, did not realize that is who Barry's golfing friend was.

 

[Barrychuckle]

As it was a bit part, I doubt they'd have paid an established actor when they could get an unknown extra at a lower cost....

 

[Adrian Morris]

It could have been one of the production crew.

I think its Syd Little , the glasses give it away , he is kidnapping Bobby Ball and is going to hold him to ransom until Tommy Cannon hands over their best material to help Little and Large get back to top billing for a season in Blackpool .
