Barry, I agree there are some episodes that are not as great as others but I try not to let them detract from the series as a whole.
Personally, I wanted to see Lionel and Jean back together again as a couple. To me that seemed to be the start of the premise of the show. When they both tried...
I'm not sure if you mean the main core group of ladies or just ladies in the show. I can think of a few occasions at the moment.
1) In the episode where Compo buys a card or something. Compo has his wet suit and swim fins on from Sid. Compo reaches into his wet suit to pay the cashier lady...
In a similar vein to 'As Time Goes By' there is also 'A Fine Romance'. With Dame Judi Dench and her real life husband Micheal Williams. Not quite as on par as ATGB but still enjoyable.
Great minds think alike, Barry! I feel May to December is like a pleasant blend of As Time Goes By and Fresh Fields. Was tempted to say so last night but was getting late and kept things short
Time after Time - I really liked. Similar theme to Going Straight but seems to 'work better' - no...
Did not realize you were also the thread starter on this one, Barry. I do like your list better. Thanks for the link. As Clegg has been known to say "I'll be quite now and go stand over there." :oops:
Cheers, friend. :)
Wow, @MoodyBlue , that is interesting. Just found an article on it from the Liverpool Echo. Said the plant was started in 1890. Had a bomb scare in WWII. Also that they are planning to dismantle it.
We held a meeting long ago and volunteered you to collate a list. Did you not get the memo? We sent it to your AOL account. ;-)
Just teasing, friend. Here ya go. They are in order mentioned. I just copy & paste as I skimmed through the pages. I may have overlooked one here or there, but...
Engineering in Standedge Tunnel
Interesting video about checking on / updating the communication system within the tunnels. A trip through the old railway line and the canal path parts.
I think Terry used to work with a telecom company. @maltrab , would you have jumped at the chance to...
Was not sure what to title this thread. The following video inspired this post thread.
What happened to Gasometers ?
An interesting video from some guys on gasometers from around Manchester, Bradford Colliery. I remember seeing structures like these in various British shows over the ages...
Glad to hear Codfanglers that you see yourself and wife as a version of Lionel and Jean. I always thought of Lionel's character as a likeable curmudgeon. Help could get grumpy and stubborn at times. :-)
In one of the specials of the show I really like that Moira (Judith) said she would get...
Really hope you like As Time Goes By Barry. It is a great series. Well written and well acted. Introduced my parents to the show long ago and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. You may recognize a few of the other actors in it that pop up from time to time.
Norah's friend or neighbor lady holding a laundry basket and clothesline clips for her in the pilot episode. Possibly neighbor since she has an apron on and curlers in. First few minutes of the video.
Haha, they were talking about that weren't they? Got caught up in all the rest of the interview I forgot about his book part of it. Think she said there was an audio version which I believe you are referring to with Spotify. I think that will be a good idea, thanks, Barry.
