Just joined, as a confirmed Summer Wine fan - age 66 and female. I never used to pay much attention to the programme back in the day, but maybe it is something to do with getting older as I really appreciate it now and am on my second viewing of the boxed set. I have also visited Holmfirth (a lovely town) and explored the surrounding area quite a lot, but there are still many places I haven't seen, so would love to go back sometime.
Favourite characters - well, there is nobody I actively dislike, but my favourites would have to be Compo, Clegg, Foggy, Nora, Wally, Howard and Marina, and Edie. (Biggest Summer Wine mystery - does anybody know how she actually obtained her driving licence?!) Purely a poetic licence I think!
I've another question, where is the bridge that is featured in several episodes, notably the "Thumpy Dub" one?
I picked my username in tribute to the black cat one can see in the Google Street View dated May 2011 of The White Horse area in Jackson Bridge.
Thank you for the wealth of interesting information and comments to be found in this site!
