I haven't seen that episode yet. My favourite character is J0hn Barron who plays the Dean of St. Ogg's. He takes "Steely-eyed" to new heights. Marvellous.

I'm working my way through a boxed set of All Gas and Gaiters....... And was pleasantly surprised to see Joe Gladwin pop up as a taxi driver and in a later episode, Dudley Jones ("Shinyglow") as a choir-master. There may be more to come. The show is pretty good, if a little tame compared to LOSW.

I watch an episode daily (sometimes a few), and choose them randomly, but find I tend to pretty well ignore everything that came post-Compo.

In my own case, I already have the entire series anyway. I've obtained the episodes from various sources and burned 'em so I can watch the lot. But I've been replacing my own copies with the commercial issues as they've appeared and have been binning my own burned disks as they've been replaced.

I don't think the destination was ever mentioned. They never usually ventured too far afield. I guess the Welsh visit was the furthest ?

There's a slight similarity in the landscape, in that there's water on both sides of the road at Spurn Head, and Slapton Sands, But at the latter location, the road is quite short and you can see the far end of it. Spurn Head of course, stretches into the infinite distance which is what you see...

I have just watched "All Mod Conned". If you recall, that's the episode where the trio trudge along an endless road to discover their holiday cottage is an old wrecked caravan. I'd always assumed that the location for this episode was Spurn Head on the Humber Estuary. But interestingly, the...

The character Lapsley in "The Waist Land", and Josie's father in "Going to Gordon's Wedding" - Were they both played by the same actor ?

and7bartonActive Member New ↑ I cook a mid day meal from scratch almost daily and try to vary it as much as possible.:42::thumbsup: Click to expand... Two eggs a week ? - HEAVENS ! - I eat around 2 per day without fail and have done since time immemorial. I did a quick mental calculation and it...

Just watched "The Flag and its Snags" - At the start, the trio are up a hill. In the background in several shots is what looks like the same pub that featured in "A Quiet Drink". It's way down below the hill, a mile away or so. Can anyone confirm that ?

I thought it was the Clothier's Arms in station Road, Stocksmoor.

Just been watching one of my least favourite LOSW episodes - "A Quiet Drink". I noticed, in the pub, sitting with a group of men having a drink, someone who looks a dead ringer for John Gorman - I'm talking about John Gorman, the poet and musician, ex Scaffold. Can anyone confirm this ?

Trouble is, I can imitate a Yorkshire accent fairly well after watching LOTSW all my life........ I find I'm now making comments like Uncle Mort does, in HIS accent without making a conscious effort. This is not good news as I'm a Londoner.

I'm just watching the entire set of "I Didn't Know You Cared" again....... only for the 2nd time. The first viewing of it must have been over fifteen years ago. I wasn't too keen the first time around, but upon the re-viewing I've warmed to it. Surprising how many actors in this show also...

A perfect Sid I've always maintained that actor John Henshaw would make an excellent Sid. I've often thought that Nick Frost would make a great Sid.

Seymour playing cricket with Clegg and Compo.

I loved the character in Deviations with Davenport ....... Jack Smethurst.

I spotted it a few years ago - From the decrepit look of it, it's been there for years. It's in the yard of Birks funeral Directors, on the Woodhead Road on the LH side, a good way before the turn-off for Ivy's cottage (Co-op Lane, Dobbs Lane and Spring Lane), just a minute out of the town...

Has anybody besides me spotted the block of garages in Holmfirth that could only have been designed by Seymour or Wesley ? - It's a block of four or five garages with up-and-over doors, with another block of identical garages ON TOP of them. No ramp or any way of driving a car into the upper...
