Madge Felton's latest activity

I visited and did the underground tour here in 2008. It was very educational and the guide was a local retired coal miner. Conditions must have been very tough for those men who worked there during my lifetime, but they must have been...

Talking of mining....I knew 2 lads from Yorkshire who used to watch Everton...1 was from Thorne and 1 was from Doncaster...[we were only teenagers] Both their dads were lifelong miners... I was invited to attend the big protest at...

Yes I did a tour about 20 years ago, it was very interesting, my advice is leave anything electronic in the car as they have to take it off you before you go down

If Blamire had stayed longer, I think the series would have ended after series 3, or possibly series 4. I think it would have become one of the "forgotten" sitcoms. I mean, can you imagine Blamire doing the things Foggy did in series 3...

I’m just watching an episode of Tales of The Unexpected with a great trio of Fulton Mackay, Harry H Corbett and Bill Owen as bank robbers. Then who should pop up 15 minutes into it but Joe Gladwin!! What a cast.

I thought Truly was a great character who gave the show a boost in the later years.

A unique naturally funny man......a man whos smile lit up the room. Physical humour and body language he had no peers [apart from Stan and Oli maybe ??]. An absolute integral part of "our show"......every scene was impeccable.....the...

I love when he is dressed as Dracula and jumps out to surprise Pearl who clobbers him with her handbag .

Sussex born Danny O'Dea died in a Hartshead, Yorkshire nursing home on 16 April 2003 aged 91. My neice had accompanied him from the nursing home for some LOTSW filming. They dropped Smiler off on their way back, she described both of...

We only have to look at Compo's relationship with both Nora and Ivy...... He admitted in "The Mysterious Feet of Nora Batty" that he "jumps out at women" [his words not mine]. Neither Nora or Ivy encouraged him to grope them....FOR MORE...

What gets me is that the old shows that are supposed to be vulgar and politically incorrect are in fact funnier, cleaner, better written, more likeable, more jolly and more suitable for the whole family than the dark, depressing, box...

I listened to one of the early radio episodes of Dads Army on Radio 4 Extra this morning and that had to have a 'offense warning' at the beginning. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

What I find quite sad is that we talk about how many people would find such shows unacceptable now...but in reality.....nothing really happened in these shows.... There was no "smutty conclusion"......the specific scene just stopped and...

I am reading the discussion here and I think people have to remember the earliest years of Summer Wine weren't always PG rates. Wasn't it Clegg looking through an adult magazine in the barbershop in Short Back and Palais Glide? It's...

Not sure what the problem with Mr Wainwright's character is, to be honest. (Well, apart from the obvious, that is). I was under the impression that the two lady librarians (Mrs Partridge and Miss Moody) were quite welcoming towards his...
