'Real' Common As Muck binman dies
Writer William 'Billy' Ivory has paid tribute to a binman who inspired his breakthrough TV comedy drama Common As Muck.
Malcolm Greaves, who has died aged 75, worked with Ivory when they were both binmen in Nottinghamshire.
Mr Greaves inspired two characters in the programme, who were played by actors Edward Woodward and Tim Healy.
