For me, Still Open All Hours has three different directions. In the first few seasons, the emphasis was on Gastric and Madge. I absolutely love these episodes! I can't get enough of them. Afterward, there was more emphasis on Mrs. Featherstone and Mr. Newbold. I enjoyed these seasons but felt...

Like the later years of Summer Wine, SOAH has a timeless feel to it. I was born in the mid-70s. I can watch SOAH and it could easily be the 80's or the 90's, etc. Same as the Trully years of Summer Wine, I am oblivious to the era.

Do you have favorite episodes at this point?

I absolutely love watching the transitions of the show. It's sad when I know Blamire leaves but it's exciting knowing all of Foggy's adventures are ahead. It's sad to see Foggy leave, but Trully is a very welcoming sight. As mentioned in previous posts, I generally think of Series 8-11 as the...

I don't think I have anything new to add to this discussion, but I would love to have a chat about KUA and Still Open All Hours (blasphemy to some, but I like Still Open All Hours more than the original- well the first few seasons anyway). However, I don't know if there would be enough material...

Mending Stuart's Leg

I am not much of a drinker, but would go for the fellowship, and an occasional meal. I might have one beer and just soda afterward!

I would love the isolation and the surrounding countryside, but I wouldn't want to be too far from a pub or a tiny town. A thirty-minute walk to some of those places would be ideal.

Yes. Don't underestimate the setting in this show!

I don't know if it was ever about the plot for me. The characters, the way they interacted with each other, and their side adventures were always what appealed to me. I was just always fascinated with the guys in the twilight of their years roaming the countryside, trying to invent things...

Personally, I love the plotless feel that some of the episodes have. It is so unique. But as I mentioned before, it took me a few times to really appreciate the Blamire years. For example, I didn't like "A Quiet Drink" at all. After I properly got accustomed to that era, I really enjoy it now.

I will defer most of these questions to the experts. As for your last question, I definitely prefer a mixture of verbal and physical comedy. In the duration of the show, I believe they moved to more physical comedy a little too early. I would have loved to see the more dialogue-driven shows go...

I enjoy an occasional Antique Roadshow on the Maryland and Washington DC public television stations. However, they are now pushing "Celebrity Antique Roadshow." It turns me off whenever such a show or gameshow does a celebrity edition because it becomes all about the celebrity. However, if I am...

I think it was mentioned here before. I imagine the scene with Foggy going into the cold water was one of those minimal parts. I can't imagine Blamire doing this.

Alright....one last shot. Brushes at Dawn

It will happen one of these days, Barrychuckle. Also, it might have to wait until the kids grow up.....maybe another 8 -1 0 years.

The Mysterious CW Northrop

Bigcat, I am really enjoying your inquiries. I have no idea, but I always found it quite interesting how Roy Clarke used random characters throughout the show. Many times they would appear only once, but in Gordon's case, it was 3 appearances. I will wait to hear other responses from the more...

Barrychuckle's description is right on point. I am an American who first discovered the show while it was airing the post-Compo years. I didn't get the Blamire years so much the first few times. However, I recommend you keep watching the series from beginning to end. I eventually got to love the...
