WellyMan's latest activity

Yes, there are times that he stands his ground, but IIRC other times he's all mouth and trousers so loses his nerve about something and gets someone else to do it. But then my memory is not good so maybe I'm misremembering. Should also...

I thought that Foggy often loses his nerve rather than always stands his ground.

Don't forget, series 3 was originally written for Blamire and the script was adjusted for Foggy. Foggy was not the type to want to volunteer to go for a morning swim, unlike Blamire who had the boys go out camping and rowing a canoe...

Not sure how long it would have lasted. Clegg and Compo definitely needed someone less uptight. The series would have lasted for awhile but not as long as it did. I think for all the decrying of new and departing characters it was the...

Easy question, after discovering this marvelous cast of characters in their beautiful paradise why would I NOT watch Last of the Summer Wine?:)

Most of the characters are really children in adult guise and I like daft innocent humour which SW has in spades. Also, there's probably a bit of nostalgia for a simpler time, helped by the wistful theme tune. Besides the physical gags...

My dad, from his early 40s he spent most the time in a lot of pain, has a little girl I'd seen him cry with pain and it was traumatising to see but every Sunday he'd watch Summer Wine and laugh so I used to sit next to him and watch it...
