these shows were also written by Muir and Norden. Films After making his film debut in 1959, Bentley returned to Australia to play a sheep drover in The Sundowners (1960), starring Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr. In the late 1960s, he was briefly back on BBC radio in the short-run comedy series If You Had a Talking Picture of Me. Bentley was featured in the movies The Adventures of Barry McKenzie (1972) and Barry McKenzie Holds His Own (1974), derived from the Barry McKenzie comic strip in Private Eye. By 1974, he had largely retired but briefly returned to the screen to appear in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (1978) as Frank Spencer's grandad, fittingly since the hapless Spencer was in many ways a descendant of Bentley's Ron Glum character in TIFH. Death His wife died in January 1991, and Bentley died from complications from Alzheimer's disease in 1995.
