I think at the end of each series. the sets were destroyed. This was to save money on storage, and create new employment the following year to rebuild them from scratch. Don't know if any keen fans ever rescued any sets...

Some very good and interesting choices there. Did you ever see 'Dad' with George Cole, which began in 1997? Beautifully observed sitcom.

Roy Clarke only wrote the pilot of Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt - Alan Plater wrote most of the subsequent episodes.

Why is it Kit Kats tasted better in the old paper and tin foil wrapper than the new plastic wrapper??

Trio. United. Snack. Unthinkable about Breakaway being discontinued. I think there was a plain dark chocolate one as well - there was a red wrapper as well as the more familiar yellow wrapper. I also recall that there were far more varieties of Club than we have now. Great topic this, by the way.

Is that the one set in a cafe? If so, I did see it. Like an old fashioned sitcom - so not bad.

There is a difference between funny and good. There was some business with Howard doing some very physical stuff in the final series - now that was funny.

Virtually all of Series Five.

Are we talking about LOTSW only? Or other programmes?

I thought it said Tuesday Outrage.

That's not to say it's not unusual to just have Christmas specials of popular comedy series running at 30 or 35 minutes, with a Christmas theme. LOTSW has cheated many times too, by taking a regular 30 minute episode with absolutely no Christmas theme at all, and calling it a Christmas special...

In the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, there would be the occasional special Christmas episode made that ran to 45 or 50 minutes. Hancock, Steptoe, Till Death, and The Likely Lads being the more obvious examples. Bill Owen was a fan of the original Last of the Summer Wine novel, and basically pressured...

Bigcat, did you notice the little bit of drama at the very end of What's Santa Brought for Nora Then?
