Paul Shane was an English comedian and actor, best known for his television work, in particular playing the part of Ted Bovis in Hi-de-Hi! a sitcom broadcast on the BBC in the mid 1980s. Paul died in May 2013.

Alex caught up with him in 2005 at the Swansea Grand backstage at his latest play.

Here’s Alex Belfield with Paul recorded in Swansea 2005:

Between 1995 and 1997, he played Jack Skinner in two series of Oh, Doctor Beeching!. Subsequently, he appeared most frequently in theatre, but also in the television series, Holby City and Emmerdale.

Shane’s “cringe-inducing” performance of “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” on Pebble Mill at One in 1996 was voted 72nd funniest moment on British television in a poll on Channel 4 in 2004.

Shane also appeared in variety theatre in venues such as Blackpool in 2006,[4] and in pantomime in Jack and the Beanstalk in 2008.

In 2008, he was in an episode of the ITV drama series, A Touch of Frost, playing boatsman “Diesel Bob”.
