    Math Quiz

    Okay, I admit I don't know the answer to this one, but I'll ask it anyway - for the sake of an argument over the answer... ;-) Question: Over the entire series, how many women was Compo accused of dating, bothering, or chasing? (including Nora, of course) It seems like there must be a lot of...

    Easy Quiz #400001

    I hope it's okay for me to jump into this game with my own little quiz just for the fun of it. "If old man Flowers can do it, anybody can." Now the easy bit: What specifically did old man Flowers do? Who said it about him? In which episode? Please forgive me if this has already been asked...

    Yank for LOTSW

    I started watching LOTSW on Public Broadcasting here in the USA around 2000. My first episode viewed: The Glory Hole. The day I watched it, I was wearing my old GI field jacket and my reading glasses - I looked a lot like foggy (there are those who say I'm about as dozy, too). I've been a fan...

    LOTSW scenes that didn't make the cut

    Fellow LOTSW lovers - I propose we make up our own lines to fit LOTSW scenes. Pick a scene and fill in a different dialog (ala the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"). -OR - Make up a scene that you'd have LIKED to have seen - perhaps in an episode that you feel needs something to make it...
