Me too. The term "viaduct" as a train bridge is not commonly used anymore, at least in the US.

So did they use two different viaducts for those two episodes? It certainly appears they are on top of a viaduct for the scene in the first Wild Blue Yonder episode, as RickAns noted.

This has been discussed before, but its only been since the final DVD's were released last year that I've had a chance to see the later years multiple times. And I've developed some ideas about what I think happened and why. In a nutshell, the show deviated from the formula that had worked so...

Speaking of the bookshop, I noticed in watching “A Tale of Two Sweaters” that they didnt use the Avia sign or block the bookshop windows to make them look like doors. At least for that episode you can see it’s a retail shop.

So this is the 2002 Christmas special that was obviously not meant to be the first episode that aired from that series. That's pretty clear because of the involvement of Entwhistle, who isn't actually introduced until the second episode of the following series. Likely another case of the BBC...

Good point. I'd forgotten about Pablo. And now that you mention it, I think Smiler having a cat and a goldfish are both mentioned once.

There is an episode that opens with Howard petting a black cat and asking Pearl if she's ever thought about getting a pet. Her response is that she already has Howard. The "Mitzi" episode is the only time we are told they have a cat as far as I know. In fact, I've always thought it a bit...

It's time for a new pair of glasses!

The building that has Nora and Compos houses at one end has shops at the other. It's not uncommon in smaller towns for that to be the case, even in the US.

That's true, but it does have a Norman Wisdom appearance and Alan Bells only cameo. Plus, I do like the Compo musical number.

It's been on YouTube in the past but it's not one of the LOTSW episodes on there at the moment. I'd imagine it will show up again, though.

That's what I think as well. It looks like Foggys house as seen in "Walking Stiff Can Make You Famous" when he comes out in his bicycle polo outfit.

Thanks! That's a useful link. I noticed a few more I hadn't realized. For example, Bree Martin. She was Trudy in "Tarzan of the Towpath, Marina's co-worker who gets Howard's note by accident. She then appeared as Astrid in "The Mystical Squeak of Howard's Bicycle" as Glenda's friend who...

Ive been wondering this for some time. Early in the episode Sid is outside the cafe and Ivy is throwing plates out the door at him. As Sid is sweeping them up a man comes by pushing a bike and greets him. Even though it's a speaking part no credit is listed for it and I've always thought the...

Those are great photos Brian, thanks for sharing. And you might as well post anything else you have as well! ;-)

There are lots of continuity issues if you pay attention. One of my favorites is in "The Flag and its Snags," where Clegg and Compo are trying to catch the mules. The stunt double for Clegg crashes to the ground and his cap flies off, but in the cut to Clegg he's still wearing his cap...

In his book Bell says they had filmed inside the real cafe once before, in "Getting Sam Home."

We discussed this at least once in the past but I keep finding new, unexpected examples. Some of the better known examples are: - Maggie Ollrenshaw. Played the Commodore's girlfriend in "The Flag and Further Snags," and then played Ethel in both "The Love Mobile" and "All that Glitters is not...

IMDB says he appeared 88 times so it will be interesting to see if your total differs.

96 years is a great run. I'm not going to be sad, I'm going to be happy for his great life and all the joy he's given me with his choice to be an actor.
