I remember looking at a teletext page probably 10 years ago or more and one of the title things at the top left, which I suppose was the equivalent of a quick link, said Reg Var.

I assumed this was an abbreviation for Reg Varney, and had a quick look as I presumed he must have died. Anyway, it turned out it was about the other tv programmes that day and was an abbreviation for Regional Variations.

Dont know why I remember that and a pointless post, but there you go.

Probably because it was still at the cemetery gates.

Never really a fan of Reg Varney nor On the Buses, but 92 is a fair old innings. RIP.
