He appeared in all seven series and was in the last episode's final scene, alongside Jean Boht. This confirms that Grandad was Nellie's father. In later series we are told Grandad's name is William Duval and Nellie refers to her maiden name of Duval. When the family arrive at the Police Station to collect him, Nellie refers to Freddie as Grandad's son-in-law for the only time, confirming that he is, in fact, her own father. However, in a fleeting sequence in a series-4 episode, Freddie is arrested for stealing his rubbish cart. The series doesn't make explicitly-clear whether he is Nellie's or Freddie's father, as he is only ever referred to and called Grandad.

Next door is grumpy, permanently-hungry Grandad ( Kenneth Waller). The only Boswell daughter was Aveline ( Gilly Coman/ Melanie Hill), a colourful, enduring model who married Protestant vicar Oswald Carter ( Giles Watling) at the end of series 4 (to staunchly-Catholic Nellie's outrage) after trying to conceive throughout series 5, Aveline gives birth to Ursula in series 6. Billy drove an old Volkswagen Beetle which constantly backfired when driven, as well as a van from the back of which he sold sandwiches. Billy married Julie in series 3, but they were divorced by series 5, and Julie moved to Sefton Park (and left the series), leaving Billy devastated. He somehow managed to father Francesca with his miserable mistress Julie ( Caroline Milmoe/ Hilary Crowson) who lived across the road. The youngest Boswell son, Billy ( Nick Conway), was loud-mouthed, annoying, and immature. He endured relationships with several highly-sexed women and was frequently seen emerging red-faced from the bushes. His real name was Jimmy, but he changed his name to Adrian which he considered 'less common'. Adrian ( Jonathon Morris) was the theatrical poet, who had his poetry published ('My Granny's Bucket'). He returned in series 5 and eventually fell in love with an older woman, Leonora ( Deborah Grant), who moved in across the road. Actor Victor McGuire was absent in series 4, and Jack went to America for a year. Second-eldest child Jack was the thoughtful, sensitive type who ran an antique-dealing business, often with disastrous results. When he decided to leave Bread to concentrate on directing and other acting opportunities, his replacement was not as popular with viewers, so the character wasn't as prominent in the later series. The character was extremely popular for the first four series, and Peter Howitt was considered the series' heartthrob and breakout star. Throughout the series, Joey was in love with dour, demanding divorcee Roxy ( Joanna Phillips-Lane), whom he finally married in the final series. This union led to one of the series' most famous catchphrases, which Nellie frequently declared about Lilo Lil in a storm of rage: 'She is a tart!'Įldest child Joey ( Peter Howitt/ Graham Bickley) was essentially the level-headed household head, with his leather trousers, classic Jaguar, and charming demeanor ('Greetings!' was his catchphrase), Joey was involved in tax fraud after making a fortune selling personalized number plates and not declaring this to the taxman. The Boswell family consisted of Nellie's philandering, free-spirited husband Freddie ( Ronald Forfar) who spent most of the series with one foot in the family household, and the other with his mistress, the red-haired Irish siren Lilo Lil ( Eileen Pollock). Later series saw less emphasis on making money schemes, and more storylines focusing on the characters' love lives and marriages. Early series focused on her children attempting to make enough money (in English slang, ' bread') to support the family through various illicit means. The family were Catholic and working class, and led by the acid-tongued matriarch Nellie Boswell ( Jean Boht) who ruled over her family with an iron fist.

The series focused on the extended Boswell family of Liverpool, in the district of Dingle. In 1988, the ratings for the series peaked at 21 million viewers. It was produced by the BBC and screened on BBC1 from to 3 November 1991.
