Welcome Jon, I’m on holiday at the moment just down the road from you in Cheddar.

Those seats look cosy

I would live in the house Monday to Friday and pick a carriage for the weekend.

That is beautiful and you get self catering railway carriages in the price.

Well done, that really is a great bargain. I do the same when searching for vinyl records on eBay e.g typing in The Beetles instead of The Beatles. I do know other people do it but not too many. It eliminates a lot of the competition which is great.

My wife has just informed me that it’s from a made for TV movie called Babs and the actress playing Barbara Windsor is Samantha Spiro . Not sure she’s right though, although I didn’t tell her that.

There was a tv programme called Fantabulosa made in the 2000s which I saw but I’m sure it’s not from that.

That first photo is odd. It includes a Kenny Williams lookalike and a Barbara Windsor lookalike. Do you think it’s some sort of rehearsal to see what the seen would look like?

I just looked him up , I didn’t realise he died on the 12th of this month. I’ll have to start going back on the On The Buses website more often !

No I wasn’t aware of it as I’ve been to an auction all day and it’s strictly phones on silent or turned off. That really is a great shame. A prolific writer as you’ve stated,together with Ronnie Wolfe. A sad loss indeed and unfortunately not many left now.

I must admit I wasn’t keen on series 8 , I just didn’t laugh that much. But now I have had a second viewing it is growing on me. I still prefer the first 6 original series though.

Yes Bill Fraser plays a great character as well. Frank Williams is still fairly active according to the IMDB website. And I think I’ve got a film on dvd with Harry Fowler in it when he was a child but can’t think what one.

I saw that a few a few people had listed some of their favourite British sit coms so here’s a few of mine The army game ( Alfie Bass makes me cry with laughter in this) Rising damp On the buses ( I’m sure you guessed that one) Open all hours Still game Extras For the love of Ada Casanova ‘73 (...

Incredible that you’ve still got snow on the ground this late in the year. This winter seems to be really dragging. I’m not one for blazing temperatures but I will be glad to see the summer this year.

Doc Martin was filmed in Port Isaac,Cornwall which you may already know. Thought I’d mention it because if any of you go there try the crab, it is the best I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had loads from all over the country. It comes straight off of the boats and is cooked straight away. Delicious
