Still say this was a great era of the show

My favourite line just after that is Clegg: Throw dates at you did she? Lucky for you she wasn't baking a coconut cake!

I love these scenes which have nothing to do with the plot. That was the secret to the show.

Lot of this about. Including showing young and old pictures, and the 'old' picture is someone completely different, not even a celebrity.

I too noticed in Mending Stuart's Leg, the real public seemed to be about, getting on with their business, while the filming went on. Would never have happened as the series progressed. HOWEVER, have a look at the beginning of the 1973...

I think it was a nice touch Ivy going to the funeral, and pulling out a photo of Sid and a simple smile as she went to the funeral. Wasn't a huge event - was meant to be a simple touch - but showed respect they had for Sid. I liked it...

After Stephen Lewis left the show, Howard was looking for something at Aunties to make himself 'almost disappear', Tom said, 'We did it for Smiler, and you don’t disappear much further than him'. When Tony Capstick (PC2) had died his...

There was no need to run the wire all around the picture rail on the back wall, they could have run it over the front window frame and, if necessary, over the top of the kitchen partition wall, which would have an equal amount of wiring...

That's when children were children.

Wasn't there a similar storage space in A Bicycle Made for Three, where the trio mended their bicycles?

He forgot what he was talking about - and so pretended to be mesmerised by Naga, to jokingly cover up his forgetfulness. Earlier he had explained how to keep it going when you have a weak moment in a stage show - I suppose this is a...

If I'm watching earlier episodes I like to watch them in order. For some reason I like to watch Christmas specials off season. I just watched Crums a few nights ago
