Edie and the Automobile?

There was something that some of the Last of the Summer Wine actors found addictive about working on the show. We've recently discussed how Michael Aldridge loved the show, and really didn't want to leave. Bill Owen is the most obvious...

Michael knew what he had to to do. He was completely unselfish. No one knew he was going to die at the fairly young age of 73.

It was Michael, himself, not the children, if any, whom his wife was out on the streets searching for, thinking he was lost. No amount of care from the children would have substituted for his presence.

I'm certain if Aldridge had lived long enough, he would have been invited back following Foggy's departure, for all future episodes. There Goes the Groom does mirror Uncle of the Bride a bit in some ways.

Stuart meeting Mr Wilkinson would have have been good too, crawling round the bushes late at night wouldn't have been good for his knee.

Remember a scene in Forked Lightning where there's a scene in which Sid runs around outside on Clegg's Bike, something similar happens in an episode of Open All Hours in which Arkwright is doing the same but he ends up colliding into...

Anyone else think if Michael Bates was well enough and wasn't in pain suffering with cancer the episode would have been a good opportunity to meet Blamire again with the widow who he courted? Oswerty is close to the Welsh Border...

I can't help thinking the episode was written with Blamire in mind, instead of Foggy. Admittedly this was Series 4, and the last six episodes of Series 3 WERE written with Blamire in mind. I suppose in Series 4 the Foggy character still...

Mrs Blewitt and Nora Batty meeting.

Anyone else thought they could have done a crossover with Open All Hours. For example they trio go to Doncaster with Sid/Wally to meet a relative of Compo's or even Cleggs, and they live on the same street where Arkwright's shop is...

Superb models.

It was yes.

Very good spot. Anyone know what the 'Wind Instruments' refer to?

Or I could give them a complimentary 15 minute sit down on my land
