The ferocious Olive Scrimshaw

Apologies first because this isn’t Last of the Summer Wine,but it’s a show I know a lot of us have watched and enjoyed. Anyone that has watched I didn’t know you cared will know that Olive Scrimshaws pub featured heavily in the last series,I went to take a look at her pub today to see the...

Brilliant captain,from my favourite episode so far A knitter in the family,can just see Mort and Sid in the cafe,terrified of the women but still daring to speak up,but only in male company.

I read about that some time ago Graham and have been dreading it,they’re going to redevelop the whole area outside the cafe in front of the Old Bridge to ease traffic congestion,I fear for the character of the town.

I’v not seen that episode yet wstol,I will look forward to it. I only started watching it properly this last week or so when Gold started showing them,and already I love the downbeat Uncle Mort,he would have so fitted in Summerwine land,he would have been right up there with Wally. ” Women have...

Wow I’v learned a lot of new things today,thankyou for the replies.

Hi, I read today that Lois Laurel,the daughter of Stan Laurel,visited Holmfirth in 1995 to watch the filming of an episode,and the crew and cast invited her to be an extra,in a scene in the cafe,and the music discreetly changed to the Laurel and Hardy theme tune. Does anyone know what episode...

And the music was by Ronnie Hazlehurst Terry. Thankyou for the info,didn’t know that about Peter Tinniswood. I remember Paula Tilbrook but didn’t know she appeared three times,I’ve watched all the episodes many times but for the life of me can only remember her the once as Mrs Enwright. What...

Oh and John Comers wife in it was the lady Compo met on the bus and bought a plate of mushy peas for in Sids cafe,I wonder if Sid was in,in that episode and they met,constantly reminded of Last of the Summer Wine while watching it,reason enough for me to watch the rest of it.

I see that Gold have started showing this. Episode one of the first series was on today,I put the channel on hoping an episode of our beloved show was on,and at first I thought it was because there was our Sid,but he was with another character called Uncle Mort,who I vaguely remember,and I...

Good luck with that Barry,your ten pounds would merely be a deposit for a large item like bedroom furniture,or the first instalment of something,with Aunties very competitive interest rates of course.

What a wonderful post,I could think about this for hours,a great way to get to sleep too Stephen,how lovely. The biggest dilemma for me though would be choosing which era to go back to,as lots of my favourite people in the show appeared at different times and would not all be there together,I’d...

1. Whoops (of course,I’m in it) 2. Sadly Madly Bradly (some great lines in this) 3. The White mans grave (because Wally is just wonderful)

If you wanted to buy just the one issue,it’s £5.95 delivered,a pound more than the magazine price,I see there’s also a regular feature called Windows of the past,which in this issue is about Holmfirth.

I didn’t bring them home with me Barry,they were just those flyers that they have in theatres,with a prominent photo of Sarah on them,this one on the left,thankyou though.

Speaking of Morecambe and Wise,who I absolutely love,if ever anyone gets the chance to see the tribute act Eric and Ern please go see them,they look like them and sound exactly like them,and do all the famous routines,if you closed your eyes you really thought it was them,I have never known an...

That’s brilliant

You’re so observant Graham,I never noticed that,will look forward to reading all that,especially the Sarah Thomas interview,oh I wish she would have been performing that day in A Murder is Announced in Doncaster,especially as after the show all the cast came into the cafe/bar area and started...

Looks like there’s bits of all sorts in it Onslow,the bit about the first jet plane looks interesting too,will be getting a copy of it myself

Well spotted Barry I never noticed that :)
