I think it'll keep things simpler if we do a direct fund transfer. I'll provide everybody with invoices and receipts so they know where the money is going. I also wont ask for payment until enough people have come forward to offer support. As it stands, we now have just over £100 in pledges...

A have an odd scheme in mind... because I need something to do now that the festival is over! Over the weekend, a friend very kindly gifted my a reel of Super16mm film featuring scenes from the Last of the Summer Wine episode "How to Create a Monster" (1997). Yes, I know the above film can...

I'm in the midst of putting together a long report on the festival that will include Roy's message as part of it. It may take me a few days!

The Getting Sam Home copy we screened was colour timed and upscaled from the original SD master file along with some other digital tweaks as we unfortunately couldn't get the film scans back in time from the BBC. The full restoration is still an ongoing mission and we'll try to update folks...

I'm still very much recovering, but I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who made it along to Holmfirth this past weekend. A full report with pictures and video will be incoming in the next few days.

I believe that there was an audio book of the first Roy Clarke novel that was seemingly only distributed to libraries. I have only ever seen one copy for sale. It could, of course, have been mislabelled.

Peter also narrated three Summer Wine audio books based on Roy's novels. I'd love to properly re-release them, but sadly had no luck in tracing the rights holders. The original audiobook company are long gone.

My Pal the photographer Andy Hollingworth is on the hunt for old Last of the Summer Wine tickets, the kind you've have been given if you were to visit one of the studio recordings of the series. In particular, he's looking for ones before 1995-ish, when the studio audience would see the...
