The chap sat on the pavement behind Esther is a British actor who has been in 'Coronation Street' & I think 'Last of the Summer Wine'.
I don't know his name but he always plays miserable men in their sixties (that should narrow it down),
It wasn't Fred Elliott, I said 'it wasn't Fred Elliott'
If he is looking for 'Compo-a-likes' he is in the right place.
