I enjoyed Whatever Happened to the Horse? (Series 28) Seeing Alvin fully committed to the comic shenanigans never fails to amuse.

I "finally" got around to watching the pilot a mere 49 years after it originally aired, as I was far too busy being almost two back in 1973. My family didn't watch LotsW, but I think my grandfather (on my dad's side) would have loved it. maltrab, you raise an interesting point: My elders, who...

Libera Me, from the Priory School episode of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series. The piece is a sacred-sounding arrangement of the legendary theme by Patrick Gowers. In fact, when I learned of Gowers' death, Libera Me was the first theme of his which came to mind. The theme works...

The Summer Winos put up a 50th anniversary video about the locations featured in Of Funerals and Fish.

Did I ever finish reviewing Series Three? I believe I did! :03:Thanks to our dear mods for setting up the review archive. I suppose they can add Series Three to the other area should they feel inclined to do so, for which I remain flattered and grateful. Took a much-needed respite from reviews...

Poll added. Which is your favorite Series Three episode? My top three episodes of Series Three: ("Gold", "Silver", "Bronze"): Gold: The Man From Oswestry Silver: The Great Boarding-House Bathroom Caper Bronze: Going to Gordon's Wedding

(S03 E07) Isometrics and After Original Airdate: December 8, 1976 Foggy starts a fitness regimen for the trio. "I do enjoy hearing people discuss politics; it makes you realize there are things more boring than growing old.” ~Norman Clegg Over the opening credits is a beautiful view of the...

Robbie Coltrane was a great talent. More importantly, he had the rare gift of being a likeable performer, which doesn't come with talent nor can it be taught. I've been doing a Still Game rewatch and ironically the last episode I watched--just yesterday--was Robbie's episode.

"Gentle on My Mind"- Glen Campbell I return to this rendition of the song a couple times a year. It's an outstanding performance for sure, but look at how all of those country music legends look on in admiration and affection at Campbell the artist and the man.

Can anyone here confirm as to whether Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In ever aired in the UK? Compo's quoting of the famous Arte Johnson catch phrase was a pleasant surprise.

(S03 E06) Going to Gordon's Wedding Original Airdate: December 1, 1976 The Gordon Trilogy concludes, with Compo’s nephew set to marry Josie, the girl he met on holiday at Scarborough. "Why don’t we go to some other wedding?” ~Norman Clegg Compo peeks from behind the enormous corsage he...

RE: Foggy's ancestral home. I watched the episode 3 times, have a fairly good ear, but still hadn't caught that reference!

Just-demobbed sign-painter Corporal Dewhurst sure secured home ownership rather quickly! He also must have had several more trunks on the way after The Man From Oswestry; the man was quite the pack rat! Roy should have made the edits. I noticed the racing stripes on the roofs of the cars, but...
