We used to have those big tins every Christmas, in the early 1980s. They really were filled to top with chocolates, none of this half-filled nonsense we see everywhere now. I seem to recall those tins were incredibly expensive back in the early 1980s - something like £5 then - which is about...

It was written as a novel from nearly 10 years before, with Blamire instead of Foggy. The book was written with very earthy dialogue and conversation, and despite that, the film is considerably cleaner than the book. For some reason, the book used different 'language' to even the gritty Series...

Series Three also had other recurring characters - Big Malcolm was in two episodes. The Man from Oswestry wasn't going be part of Series Three - it was hastily written when Michael Bates decided he wasn't well enough to appear in that series to introduce Foggy. So, this probably gave Big...

I think the show first got 'physical' as early as Series Two, with the Blamire episode Ballad for Wind Instruments and Canoe.

The Mysterious Feet of Nora Batty?

I hope I have the correct episodes. Barry's Christmas and A Leg Up for Christmas - with the hearse theme.

Isometrics and After?

Foggy?

Definitely.

Uncle of the Bride?

I don't understand why One Foot in the Algarve would need restoring. Admittedly it's 30 years old now, but this was made at a time when vintage programmes were treasured, and lost programmes were much sought after - so surely this programme should have been preserved and kept in pristine...

The Loxley Lozenge?

I'm going to guess Mending Stuart's Leg.

Is Today newspaper still going?

They weren't in a bag, they were in a tube. Cadbury's Stackers - these were before Pringles, and in a very similar sized tube - and tasted even better.

Would you have realised it was someone else's voice if you hadn't been told?

We don't need ChatGPT and we don't want ChatGPT. What is ChatGPT?

If they brought that show back, with the same actors, 34 years after it ended, I suppose the show would be somewhere around 1973 - when the original programme began. Technically they could make new episodes that would complement Series One of LOTSW. Of course, it wouldn't be the same.

Absolute perfection. Brilliant idea, and so helpful to see at a glance who was in each series.

Very reasonably sure it doesn't contain honey. Probably one molecule away from being uPVC plastic.
