It’s sadly 20 years ago today since we lost the wonderful Thora Hird,our Edie Pegden. If you can get hold of a copy,the March issue of Best of British,a nostalgia magazine,is doing a tribute to her,and also an interview with Sarah Thomas.

Unfortunately not at our 50th,perhaps the travelling is too much,but our beloved Alvin at the grand age of 90 is live on stage on the 22nd of April at the Pump House theatre in Watford,it’s an evening of celebration of sit coms,what a coup to get him,would love to listen to him along with other...

For anyone checking the iplayer episodes,the episode that we see our Barry is called As one door closes..another window opens

Sorry about that Rick,I see what you mean,should have taken more care with the title.

For anyone interested,Mike Grady is making an appearance in Doctors tomorrow,9th March,on BBC1 at 1.45 pm.

Wow thanks Mikey that was really interesting,what a great read,there was such a lot of work went into it but the change from Rolf Harris gentle persuasion to the spirit of dark and lonely water warning of death worked though,I was 13 and it scared me to death,still find it very effective. Thankyou.

I love anything like that. How I would love to go in the cafe to be served by Ivy and Nora,and to speak in hushed tones while they sized me up and discussed who I was. Then to take my car to dear old Wesley,for a simple service,only for him to remove the whole engine in the yard outside the tin...

Love that Terry :) ❤️

That was brilliant watching that again,it’s not Billy’s brother in law Bradley doing the narrating is it,it sounds like him and it’s exactly his kind of thing :) They we’re superbly made films aimed at kids in an age where kids were adventurous,the one I remember mostly was the kid getting...

I was the same,all my friends were,we would set off in the morning and not be back till night,all the area that we used to get up to our adventures has all gone,it was fields and trees and streams with springs,but it’s all houses now,absolutely Mikey the kids today are over protected with risk...

Sid : Why don’t you leave Wally : How can I,I’m dependent on er,she’s reduced mi brain to jelly

Nora (getting in and examining Crushers yellow 2cv car) : Is this all of it ? Crusher (in gormless voice) : Well it’s all they gave me when I got it

Wally : She said she wouldn’t marry me unless I made miself more attractive and like a fool I did

Loving it thankyou Barry for asking,it’s a lovely quiet compound with grass and trees all around and the boats come along at a maximum speed of 4 mph which suits me perfectly,it’s quiet in the winter months but there is some commercial traffic,and after Easter all the narrowboats will start...

I don’t know if it’s the right script Mikey it was just from memory,but I’ve watched it that many times it’s probably not far from what was really said. Yes mate she also insulted Foggy and Clegg too,when they were laughing at the tramp comment (I’m sure Compo muttered Cheeky bitch !) she looked...

That was a great scene Mikey Compo : Is thar Chuffer in ? Mrs E : Chuffer ? Who's Chuffer when he's at home Foggy : He means Douglas Mrs Enwright Mrs E : Well why didn't he say so is there something wrong with him,Douglas,theres a tramp at the door get rid of him,and don't give them anything.

For no other reason than it's our Glenda. Bitterly regret not seeing her in A Murder is announced,being told as the curtains opened that it was the stand in (who was very good) but Sarah had her reasons,it was family,which always comes first. Wish she could have made it or contributed to our...

If you do Mikey also take a look at my Whoops 40th anniversary tribute in the photos section,my favourite episode.

I wrestle Doreen Tattershall,who was the cock of the school,I have a nobble on the side of my knee that I’m fixated about,any visitors I have I take into my shed to show them my knee,except now I can’t because I have a nasty but efficient wife that looks like Margaret Thatcher who destroyed it...

One thing I’ve learned Terry is that you can search for months for a location and when you find it,realise you’ve walked past it many times,even now watching episodes I will see a scene and realise I know the place but not that they filmed there,and in the short time I was on this forum before I...
