    Did I Imagine It, Or Was This Tune Quoted In An Early Episode?

    There's a piece of music Ronnie Hazlehurst used many times for pub scenes, or anything to do with pubs. (I think we first hear it Spring Fever, when Nora removes her un-Wally-like husband from the pub.) I imagine that comes from an old sing or original piece of music. No idea what. EDIT. In...

    Did I Imagine It, Or Was This Tune Quoted In An Early Episode?

    Actually. I think the 'Get out and get under' bit was used in the music during Northern Flying Circus. Well done for spotting that.

    Scarborough Fair - Yorkshire Coast Documentary (1973)

    I'll be honest, the two LOTSW episodes are a better advert for Scarborough, than the this video - but I'd still go, even now, if someone else wanted to go.

    Gentle Comedies

    Even though they could have kept the sets at the end of each series, and borrowed costumes from previous period dramas and other series that would have been somewhere?

    Blamire

    Don't forget, Getting Sam Home was originally written with Blamire in mind, as a book.

    Blamire

    There were plenty of episodes in the late 70s and early 80s that would have worked for Blamire. We know Series Three was written with Blamire in mind.

    Wyatt's Watchdogs Again.

    For the first time ever, all 6 complete episodes of WW are now available to watch on YouTube. Not a bad series this - the links with LOTSW are very obvious, and, although not written by Roy Clarke, it's similar to his style.

    Why Do You Watch Last Of The Summer Wine?

    I watch it because I know I am in good company with people I know so well.
