That training center went bust pretty quickly. I've been trawling through back issues of newspapers for recent history, finding coverage mostly in the Sheffield and Barnsley papers. So apparently that was one of the rare instances when...

Remember the Stanhope, where the wedding guests met the bus? It had been a hotel and pub, then it fell on hard times, probably because of the tiny population of the hamlet of Dunford Bridge, where it's located. It's at the end of the...

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.

Thanks @captain clutterbuck ... It might have been to avoid typecasting, but I suppose he didn't have any input on the script - and Vince Powell does seem to have written some less than successful shows. Trouble is, now you know about...

Sadly I have both the Inman DVD's, I found them just about watchable and compared to so called modern day comedy, it is nice to see some long forgotten actors earning enough to pay the rent

Worse still, most of the cast are sadly gone.

Thanks @Barrychuckle - the first "Forgotten Sitcoms" video had only about 50 views on the Sunday it was published, my videos usually get about 200. However the total for 7 days is about 4,200 when usual for 7 days is 1,500 - 2,100...

Just about to watch your new videos, wow your last video has had a colossal number of views! long overdue recognition for your amazing skills and time. This time next year Rodney............ :D

Next video: Sunday 9 March 2025, 7:00pm (UK GMT) on my YouTube channel The UK’s Forgotten Sitcoms (1977 to 1986)

You're becoming prolific with your new videos!!! long may that continue too. I'm guessing the thumbnail is John Inman & Rula Lenska in Take a Memo Mr Jones, one of the few sitcoms I couldn't face watching beyond the third episode it...

I was thinking about Peter , how many actors can say not only were they in the longest running comedy show from episode 1 to the very final one but also part of team who won an Oscar and attended the Oscar ceremony itself . There are...

It's also possible that some of these books were written with a lot of help from someone who steered them a certain way to aim them at a particular audience. Really hard to know.

I think with Peter his commitment to the show was well known and decided to open doors more to other parts of his career instead. When he reads his book however you can't help but hear it as Clegg's much touted memoirs instead despite...

I've also got to get round to reading that book, everything I hear about Kathy was she was universally regarded as a nice and decent person. I know someone who briefly met her at a motorway services many years ago and she told me she...

That's just perverted!
