I'd go in search of Marina!

I tend to watch a lot of YouTube on the TV via a Roku device, so unfortunately an ad blocker won't help for that.

We record a lot of the things we want to watch so we can choose when to watch it and can skip the ads. YouTube is also getting worse with the number and length of ads, so at some point when I can afford it will pay for premium to be ad free.

Do you ever imagine what the characters did offscreen in the rest of their life in Summer Wine land? I have an image of Clegg reading a book or listening to the radio in the evening, but not popping next door for a brew because Pearl is too scary!

Thora Hird and Sarah Thomas are featured in the latest issue of Best of British magazine: https://www.bestofbritishmag.co.uk/current-issue

I read that he left to try and pursue other acting work.

Compo doesn't get deterred by a brush!

Hopefully not the first one for which he got 50 quid!

That's a brilliant 60s show. I have the complete series on DVD. Be seeing you...

Entwistle always felt like a filler character, and definitely not as well developed as Wesley who he had a similar role to driving the others around.

I'd be Barry, but only because he had the best wife in the show!

I know that Brian Wilde negotiated a better fee than Sallis and Owen, but have always wondered how well paid (or not) the main cast members were. Presumably it was less than those on Casualty and EastEnders if only because SW was far fewer episodes a year.

Was wondering, did the cast get paid well for SW, at least when it'd got established and grew in popularity?

That's a good point. Wasn't Smiler first seen in hospital and then later became a regular?

Benidorm is on the Costa Blanca.

Wesley and Alvin were one-off characters who later became regulars. Are there any more?

There's also an earlier episode of SW with a secondhand shop where the shopkeeper sells people things they don't want. Clegg ends up buying an old metal detector.

Laurel & Hardy, Last of the Summer Wine, Benidorm. If I could have more than 3 would also include One Foot in the Grave, Porridge and Bottom.

Used to enjoy Tales of the Unexpected. My favourite episode is Royal Jelly.
