Bill Moores was born on October 16, 1934, to George and Lillian Moore, a unique circumstance that would forever alter his surname, courtesy of his father's accidental addition of an extra "S" to the birth certificate.
Moores spent his childhood in Old Swan and Huyton Quarry, and later resided in Prescot until his passing on April 13, 2015, at the age of 80.
His journey in the entertainment industry began in local amateur dramatics, where he performed with the Rainhill Garrick Society and the Rainhill Amateur Operatic Society.
On television, he is best remembered for his lengthy stint as Cedric, the perpetually intoxicated and always-proping-up-the-bar character, in the Liverpool-set sitcom Watching (1987-1993).
In addition to his television work, Moores starred in several notable productions, including Our Day Out (1977),The Spongers (1978),The Muscle Market (1981),Boys from the Blackstuff (1982),No Surrender (1987),and Riff-Raff (1991).
Beyond his work in television and theater, Moores held a prominent position as the head of the Liverpool division of the actors' union Equity for several years.
In his later years, he became a familiar face behind the counter at HLS Motor Factors on Warrington Road, Prescot, and KLS on Hall Lane.
