Yes, Varney left partway through the final season. Blakey moved into his house as a lodger as the lead character. Stephen Lewis and Bob Grant were writing most episodes by then.
Brother-in-law Arthur had left Olive at the end of the previous series, so it lost his character as well.

I was never fond of the show. The grimey grotty home with a baby screaming and dirty nappies made me feel like washing my hands after each episode.
