Arthur is without doubt my favourite character in on the buses, I loved his way of acting and the way he delivered his lines. The way he treats Olive is pretty bad but really funny, he definately got the best quotes in the series which is why Arthur is my favourite character, Michael Robbins was a truely brilliant actor who is a sadly missed face.
Michael Robbins began his professional life as a bank clerk. However through amateur dramatics he turned professional actor, gaining enormous experience with various companies.
He went on into television work and finally became part of the successful 'on the buses' team in 1969. In 1972 he returned to the London stage to star with Tom Courtenay in 'Time and Time Again'.
Michael is sadly no longer with us but his wife Hal Dyer appeared in Holiday On The Buses as Mrs Coombs and also in episode 47 called the new nurse. |
