Eastenders advice please

:D Hello,
I never watch Eastenders but my best pal's husband does. He says that Pauline Fowler's boyfriend is a familiar face from some old sitcom but he cannot remember which one.

I bragged that as soon as I see him I will know who he is but I keep forgetting to watch it as I hate it.

Can anyone help me and tell me what Pauline Fowler's boyfriend used to be in?

Thank you in desperation
Carol x

If it's Ian Lavender you're thinking of ( I don't watch Enders very often) then he played Private Pike (stupid boy!) in Dad's Army

I did say I didn't watch it very often, but I spotted at one time that the Ian Lavender character was living with Miss Brahms from Grace Brothers............

I think he was Robbie Box, in 'Big Deal' in the eighties?

Did you also know, he was the narrator on Mr Benn??
