Like with Mark and the AIDS storylines, Arthur was one of the first to highlight mental disorders on the TV to the general public, although he is fully responsible for the UKs warped obsessions with allotments to this day.

Good point, actually. Didn’t he steal the money to help Michelle, who was pregnant thanks to Dirty Den?

At our uni halls of residence we had an ‘Arthur Fowler is innocent’ sign in our kitchen window. One night I came home pissed, lost at cards and as a forfeit had to do 20 star jumps in the middle of the car park wearing only boxers, a hard hat (nicked off a building site) and the Arthur sign hanging around my neck

Iconic actor. I liked him. Had that suave lounge lizard way about him which was really funny.
