Following a recent topic on who plays who, I thought it might be a good idea to re-investigate the business of Pete Postlethwaite appearing in A Merry Heatwave. He's not in it.

Without looking anything up, I don't know who John Barratt played in the pilot.

Confusingly, John BARRATT is listed in the end credits of the pilot, yet there is John BARRETT who played the guide in Pate and Chips.

Is that a transistor radio being carried by one of the young ladies? In the original script, there was supposed to be one girl, carrying a radio, listening to 'Yesterday', by the Beatles. Incidentally, does the Last of the Summer Wine theme sound a bit like Yesterday?

Looking at how she looks in Carry On At Your Convenience, the year before, I would say not.

I didn't notice her in Short Back and Palais Glide. Where is she in that one?

Pat Bonna WAS seen again. She was in Spring Fever, playing the same character AFAICT.

Great to see younger fans, especially those who know their stuff.

So why DID they use that window? They already had the front door open.

I was going to say something similar, does the window where Glenda is belong to next-door or something?

Wow. Not to mention the people who appeared in the show at this point and beyond, who ALSO AREN'T IN THE PHOTO... Frightening.

Have you seen on the same channel who is in Leave it to Charlie?

It's never 25 years.

29 moustaches, and that's just the women.

Never upset your barber or hairdresser.

I think this is probably what happened with the majority of Series Three and Series Four of The Worker (made at the same ATV company around the same time). One colour episode exists, the others are black and white.

I think the reason she 'moved house' was that when the filming crew returned for Series Two, they discovered that the original house had been rendered, and didn't look at all right. They needed a brick house.

I think the episode was intended to be in colour. In 1971, colour was in its infancy, and technician strikes were rife. I also think back then some colour programmes were actually broadcast in black and white - though don't quote me on that.

If I knew how to do it. If you go on YouTube, type in Coppers End 1971..

Finally, there is a whole episode of the ultra-rare sitcom Coppers End, 1971, starring Bill Owen, Josephine Tewson and Richard Wattis on YouTube. Recorded about a year before Bill Owen went on to LOTSW.
