It seems that the film has received pretty positive reviews so far. While I am sure it is not exactly earth shattering, I look forward to watching it at some point.

Have amended suitably.

That's interesting. I guess what she should have said was that it very rare for a drama to have the same writer for every episode.

Wow. There are some words here that I never expected to see on this message board. :) It's interesting that berk is seen as being not too insulting considering the origin of that word! And I find it amusing that the word w***er appears in an episode of The Simpsons as the American makers didn't...

It has actually been repeated on ITV3 fairly recently I think (not that I`m saying that makes it a good show). I always think that when people say, 'TV was better in the good old days' they forget that shows like this ran for a decade or so...

The way that these channels work is that they buy the rights to specific series of a show for a certain amount of time. So the fact that Gold is part of BBC Worldwide doesn`t really affect things. This is also why, at times, Yesterday and Gold have had the rights to different series of Summer Wine.

This is an interesting story. Like another poster said, I have a little difficulty in believing that Windsor Davies wouldn`t have been happy to have signed up though. Some of the other roles he took on at the time were not exactly illustrious after all. I think it would be fascinating to know...

More new additions to the sit including Richard Lumsden talking about playing Foggy: https://firstofthesummerwine.wordpress.com/richard-lumsden-on-playing-foggy/

He`s 59 and still acts.

I enjoyed the love triangle at first as well but agree that it did feel like, "Oh, not this again" towards the end. I`ve said it before but I think it would have been better if some of the supporting characters had only been used in some episodes rather than crowbarring them into every edition.

I noticed that there are a few new shorter additions that have appeared on this site including a message from Roy Clarke. https://firstofthesummerwine.wordpress.com/a-message-from-roy-clarke-obe/

I also enjoyed the short piece and pictures from the location. I really admire the effort that has gone into the site.

I think the way these channels work is that they pay to get the rights to specific series of a show for a certain amount of time. So even though they were originally shown on the BBC, that doesn`t mean that they can show any episode (though that doesn`t mean that they shouldn`t be more organized...

A very thorough and interesting interview. Particularly the parts about Roy Clarke`s motivations at the time.

You`re welcome. The full concert is here with Ronnie coming on at about 27.45 (for Germany) and 40.35 (for the U.K.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oohLukxnrCc
