    Of note to those who remember a guitar effects device from the 80s that has been reissued. A fun watch. A way to get the sound of the band Boston without a mountain of vacuum tube amplifiers and speakers.

    Snow, Florida, What?!?!

    Seeing snow on the beaches of sunsplash go-to Panama City, FL (not too far from you it sounds) was the shocker for me.

    Young ___________________ ?

    Now there's another scenario but alas, no.

    Young ___________________ ?

    So in the interest of imagined moments I've asked for assistance to see how such an encounter would play out. This scene takes place some years before the first episode. Scene: Downtown Holmfirth, near the Market Square Norman Clegg and his wife Edith stroll leisurely down the main street of...

    "That men there...or there...?"

    Foggy had noticeably changed in age appearance by the second run. More of a kindly old man type character compared to his earlier time.

    Someone Cannot Count

    As our intrepid trio knows, the stuff is worthless on bicycle chains. The stuff evaporates. WD-40 will strip away any existing lubricant and leave the drivetrain dry – metal on metal. Howard apparently has yet to figure this out.

    Bill, Peter And Frank Interviewed. Love this.

    "We are of another world," indeed. I have to remind myself (and this interview helps) there was a brief time when Truly shared the same timespace with Compo. Thank you for posting.

    Edies Driving.

    In the old west, a gunner/lookout that sits up front with the stagecoach driver. Today just "front passenger".

    Gentle Comedies

    One reason I never took much to bluegrass. While it's obvious the individual musicians are very skilled, the end product often sounds like a herd of cats fighting. That's why I like to listen to the Kreuger Brothers (starts a little bit after 41.00 and 1:20.00).

    Seemingly a comedy song, but Don Estelle’s singing is superb.

    Star Trek - banned by the BBC

    Not sure if anyone here has seen the episode "Miri" (kids, "bonk-bonk" etc.) from the original series. I found this tidbit on Wikipedia which I though was interesting. BBC ban Following the first screening of "Miri" on British television in December 1970, the BBC received a number of complaints...

    A(n im)proper ending...

    Noticing the absence of a proper creative conclusion for the departure of Babs and Mrs. Avery I thought I would put together a vignette created with a little, er, assistance. I've tweaked the final product a bit and you can think of this as attached to the end of an episode or it's own DVD-like...

    Irreplaceable?

    I think with the loss of Compo the showrunners were concerned the boat would be taking on water and were willing to try any number of strategies to shore things up - regardless of how hastily ill considered it would be under normal circumstances. I have no real proof but all the crazy things...

    Today is Yorkshire day...

    Or, to be more precise, the day the updated edition of the Yorkshire book by Rough Guides is released on Amazon (at least in the US). I am not sure if our show, Holmfirth or its lore are included. From what I remember of the previous edition it was a scant mention. Hopefully at least that much...

    Irreplaceable?

    I think this was the best approach for those (replacement) situations.

    Irreplaceable?

    Foggy met and exceeded the standard. Truly answered the mail as well.

    Wow. Not heard of them before but enjoyed that song. Looked into their history a bit and sad to hear of the recent passing of singer Liam Reilly.
