For those of us that are nerds! (or is that nerdii? or nerds and nerdesses? hmmm, I could go on like this for hours :geek2: )

Remember our first set was Rediffusion with the channel changer hard wired to the set and screwed on to the window sill so you had to get up to switch channels. I remember the sets with the stick out pegs which you could pull out and...

The first tv set I remember at home (mid-1960s) had two big knobs at the side just above the speaker grille. You manually tuned the channel to change programmes. '4' on the dial was BBC1, '8' was ITV (Midlands). That was easy to...

Haddock of course, you have to be versatile even used it as a nom de plume for Clutterbuck, loved my time in TinTin . Anyway I listened to it, superb, but expect nothing else from them, they are brilliant at everything they decide...

Good idea on bringing Gordon back again. Would have been nice to see how he was doing along with his wife played by Liz Goulding. Liked her in I Didn't Know You Cared both in the TV and the radio series.

The number plate on the green Corsa appeared in a later episode on a red Micra.

It seems to be a Roy Clarke thing. Departing characters not mentioned immediately, typically this would need to be at the beginning of a the new series not to mention them. Sometimes the departed character would not be mentioned until a...

When Kathy Staff had to leave due to health, they "sent" Nora to Australia. That was a most expedient way explaining the disappearance of a character. It's possible that they were unable to have Wesley be sent off to parts unknown...

Whether he is to believed or not, Roy Clarke has said in a couple of interviews that had Bill died between series then it would have probably ended then.
