"I suspect that quite a few things happened to Marilyn Monroe that aren't going to happen to Nora Batty." (Cleggy, Woolen Mills of Your Mind) Have you found yourself quoting an unforgettable LOTSW quote in casual conversation? I have. This one crossed the lips just today: "The whole process...

You mean like - "Omeroyd! My uncle, Perce, suffered with those for years..." (Catching Digby's Donkey)

I had to look cattarh up in the dictionary - I think you're right. Makes far more sense than "guitar" does. Thanks for increasing my vocabulary. Thanks everyone for adding to this thread. Every post has brought a chuckle. Compo in the church in "Inventor of the forty Foot Ferret" tickled me. I...

CW - I'm chuckling recalling the skit your refer to. Very funny, indeed. I also loved all the "Listen, Margarets" mini-skits when he'd get into somebody's face about something. And how about the times he'd follow Ivy into the kitchen - wait for it... wait for it... WHANG-CRACK - "that clears...

I'm a Yank so don't get to see all the good stuff you Brits get to see. Fortunately, our public TV sometimes airs episodes of some BBC sitcoms (Britcoms as we call them). For me every episode of LOTSW comes ahead of the following: Keeping Up Appearances Coupling My Family Blackadder (season...

There as so many hilarious Compo skits, I don't know where to begin. I enjoyed EVERY initial skit with Compo and Nora - I wondered how many were scripted and how many were ad lib - brilliant. Today I watched another great Bill Owen skit in Wellies to Wetsuit - where Compo spends some quality...

Thanks, Chuffer. You are correct about George's jokes - remembering Compo's matchbox... ;-)

I started watching LOTSW on Public Broadcasting here in the USA around 2000. My first episode viewed: The Glory Hole. The day I watched it, I was wearing my old GI field jacket and my reading glasses - I looked a lot like foggy (there are those who say I'm about as dozy, too). I've been a fan...

Fellow LOTSW lovers - I propose we make up our own lines to fit LOTSW scenes. Pick a scene and fill in a different dialog (ala the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"). -OR - Make up a scene that you'd have LIKED to have seen - perhaps in an episode that you feel needs something to make it...

George - where are you getting all these jokes? The Big Book of Awful Jokes? I'm impressed. ;)

I was out to the pub last night and had a few cold ones. I noticed two large women seated at the bar, both had strong accents. So I asked, "Hey, are you two ladies from Scotland?" One of them chirped "It's WALES you friggin' idiot!" So I immediately apologized and said.... "Sorry, are you two...

And here minutes ago I was watching The Mysterious Feet. LMAO again! I think I most enjoy any episode that includes the Battys. Joe and Kathy were absolute magic together. Still, I'd have to say that my favorite episode is the one I just watched - whichever it is. Roy did a fantastic job of...

After reading the posts in this forum, I have come to the conclusion that there is something seriously wrong with you folks. I say that with the highest regard and greatest respect - and seriously verdant envy!!! LO frigg'n L!!

How fun! I've just joined the forum and I recognized the episode as soon as I saw the photo. Keeping Britain Tidy is my favorite episode of the entire series. Partly because of so much gorgeous scenery. But I think mostly due to the fantastic skit at the Batty home - "She be listening at the...
