Granville: You do the same for Mrs Featherstone.
Arkwright: Not without putting them back somewhere else

Granville: You won't let me buy firelighters. You say they're too expensive.
Arkwright: They are in this damn shop. I'm not paying these prices! Get round the Co-op and buy some.
[pause]

:
Detective Inspector William Edward Frost

Quote(s)
:
Frost: Yeah, well, I just wish Horn-rimmed Harry would be a little more choosy about his jargon. I mean anyone who spends all day with their pen stuck up their a-aah, there you are, sir!

Frost: I went to London once, to see the Queen. She was a bit smaller than I imagined, but as we both know size isn't everything.

Supt. Mullett: One of these days you'll realize you need more than your well-known intuition in order to get results.
Frost: I used more than my well-known intuition, sir, at least in one of the cases I did - I used my charm.
[pause]
Frost: It's a joke, sir, don't bother to work it out.

Frost: Times are hard, Clive, my son. Try and be a bit more charitable. You sell what you got available. Tell you what, though, she's nicked my bloody fags! Should have turned right there, by the way. Didn't I say?

Dr McKenzie: I'd guess from the obstruction in his throat that he probably choked on his own vomit.
Frost: Better than choking on someone else's vomit, I suppose.

I'm getting fed up of living away from home so much. They look after you very well but it doesn't matter how well you're looked after, how nice the hotel is, if you're away from home constantly, the bloody dog savages you, thinks you're a stranger, the kid cries and the wife's stuck to your face!”

“Everybody can watch the two characters-well, not just the two characters but the whole show-and know that everybody's a ruddy fool! We're just there to entertain people and it works. It's great-and we need a bit more of that in this day and age, don't we?”

Working with Ronnie Barker was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career. The world of entertainment has lost a huge talent.”

When you get kids helping kids, it's really a heartwarming story.”

I've never ever 'felt my age', whatever that means. I think that there are a lot of people who feel 22 when in fact they're 62, and there are a lot of youngsters out there who behave as if they were four times their age. It's an attitude of mind, isn't it?

It was a long time before TV wanted me - I would have had to commit murder to get a part on the box at one time

: Perhaps being a character actor on radio was, in retrospect, the best training I could get.

I've been fascinated by deep sea diving since watching Jacques Cousteau's TV programmes as a lad
