I suspect that as she didn't have to speak it wasn't worth having her on location, it's probably one of the crew.

Compo had a varied background. It was entirely plausible that his offspring would move away while still exhibiting his characteristics, generally bone idle. It would just have made more sense for Tom et al to arrive for one series, exactly as happened, but then drift off without necessarily...

I stopped video editing to watch the first episode properly; on the sofa with a cuppa. I think that episode gets better with every viewing.

Thanks @captain clutterbuck ... It might have been to avoid typecasting, but I suppose he didn't have any input on the script - and Vince Powell does seem to have written some less than successful shows. Trouble is, now you know about the other shows, they might become a video earworm!

At the moment K&K is a bit too recent to be forgotten, despite me forgetting about it!

Thanks @Barrychuckle - the first "Forgotten Sitcoms" video had only about 50 views on the Sunday it was published, my videos usually get about 200. However the total for 7 days is about 4,200 when usual for 7 days is 1,500 - 2,100 views!! I was worried on the Sunday but by Tuesday it was rocketing!

... is also in the same video! I'd have preferred if Julian Orchard had never found Inman at his fish and chip shop, there was a sitcom set-up there and they didn't use it!

The research is time consuming - especially considering the difficulty of finding some information and then agonising over what to use and what to cut out. David Battley was one of those actors that regularly cropped up on tv, in secondary roles - usually one-off appearances - that you...

Terry did have me, at first. I filmed at the location used in Destiny and Six Bananas; the field, road and junction cropped up quite often. The 'gate' Terry was referring to was not the gate into the field, but the gate in the camera. This is a metal frame the the film passes through behind the...

Well, that's half an answer, it was done on the very cheap!

I thought Lancashire was wrong, but the source was otherwise reliable ... Now just seen Terry note. Sorted!!

Terry has asked me to help you, he's doing something and not near his computer at the moment. The same issue occurs in a scene in S15 ep9 Aladdin Gets On Your Wick: Now do you see it?

Earnshaw Strikes Again

But look closely, it's not a real signpost, that's a black drainpipe with a sign stuck on it!

Have you got the time right?

I looked one row up on the calendar - edited!
