Onslow's latest activity

Might be a good Viatour opportunity for an enterprising person.

I felt Nora fawning over Tom was her trying to atone a bit of the guilt over how she had treated Compo, there was a time or so Ivy had to remind her things weren't as fond as she was trying to remember.

Compo had a varied background. It was entirely plausible that his offspring would move away while still exhibiting his characteristics, generally bone idle. It would just have made more sense for Tom et al to arrive for one series...

I stopped video editing to watch the first episode properly; on the sofa with a cuppa. I think that episode gets better with every viewing.

Today is one of those unique[ish] days on Gold where you get the chance to see the very last and very first episodes of LOTSW , the contrast in film quality and script is astonishing .
