Ummm... didn't know what to expect, especially as I've not done anything for year. Starting at 50% of week 1 views compared to SW videos. Hoping momentum will gather as more episodes come out.

Next video: Sunday 2 March 2025, 7:00pm (UK GMT) on my YouTube channel First in a series: The UK’s Forgotten Sitcoms (1970 to 1976) {edit typo)

Thanks! :-) The loved / hated video was a "one-off" for now, at least. I have seen Extras, was considering watching it again recently, but that would distract me from some other shows I need to watch. However, I have more sitcom "listicle" videos coming up, and there are some workplace based...

Hip, Hip, Horay!

Mmmm.....

I'm pleased someone else actually recognises them as moth eaten monstrosities. Always thought they were ugly and scary to children.

"... you won't find that four-letter word on my shopping list."

Thanks mashi'... OTB was definitely authentic, while that made it familiar to viewers, you'd have thought they'd appreciate a bit of glamour instead of seeing the same depressing situations they were probably experiencing. When they were broadcast I don't think I was the target age audience for...

Oooh, you must be psychic!

All good ideas ... now, all I have to do it make them!

I have driven - and been driven - through Lincoln many times, from home (where I lived) to "home" (where I was born), and never stopped there for a look round. There is now a - rather lacklustre - by-pass, but that hill was not easy for the car, especially as there was a set of traffic lights...

New video! This was due to come out about two weeks ago, but as some might have seen, the technology let us down - again! Lots more to come, although not Summer wine-related videos, but mostly still of interest I hope. So, make a note, Sunday 16 February 2025, 7:00pm (UK GMT) on my YouTube...

I remember the old days when us Europeans had an E111 card ... ahhh, those were the days.

As that's not a real police station and the notice board is only just "stuck" there - yes ... all from the props / art department! This building faces the rear of the "new" Co-Op, used in some later episodes when we see the back door and loading bay.

If you have any old fivers you don't want, I can find a home for them ...

Nearly .. I did have the foresight to re-speak some of the lines so I can over-dub if I make a snafu of any awkward words and names!
