The 25 years one is almost identical to the 30 year one, with a few moments that were deleted and replaced with newer scenes in the 30 year doc. Perhaps the one notable moment which is slightly emotonal and gave me a slight shudder was the very last clip in the 25, which is about when the show...

This has always been one of my least favourite episodes, partly because it's a retread of the far superior 'Uncle of the Bride', but also because of the quality of the acting. Or should I say, lack of quality. I know it was a hastily written script after Brian Wilde dropped out, but surely...

I think the Christmas episodes of the 70s and 80s are, on the whole, my favourite episodes of LotSW. 'Small Tune...', 'Crums', 'What's Santa bought for Nora' would all be in my top ten episodes (along with 'A Tale of Two Sweaters', the best of the later Xmas eps). But for me the best has to...

Thanks to being able to access old newspapers for work, I've been looking through for old references to LotSW, saving any articles and references which I may post at some point. But I've also found, in the express, weekly tv charts, which shows just how many people watched the show in the 70s &...
