Some more great drone footage of Huddersfield getting in the mood for Christmas by The Flight Stuff. So pretty.

Engineering in Standedge Tunnel Interesting video about checking on / updating the communication system within the tunnels. A trip through the old railway line and the canal path parts. I think Terry used to work with a telecom company. @maltrab , would you have jumped at the chance to...

Was not sure what to title this thread. The following video inspired this post thread. What happened to Gasometers ? An interesting video from some guys on gasometers from around Manchester, Bradford Colliery. I remember seeing structures like these in various British shows over the ages...

This is the first time I have seen David Jason not as a character in a show. He seems like a genuinely nice person. I bet he would be a great story teller and someone to just chill and have a beverage with. I really like how he gives credit to the folks on the set and the team as a whole. His...

Not sure if we have any gamers on here from days of old. But if you are a fan of the beverage and enjoy a good sing song then this is a nice tribute to Charlie Mops - the man who invented beer. He must have been an admiral, a sultan or a king... This video is from a computer game I played...

I had no idea racing pigeons or even pigeons were this fast! Or could fly this far. A range of almost 1,00 miles (1,600 km) and speeds of up to 80mph (130kph) with a tailwind with average of 37 mph (60kph) on a calm day. - Info from racing pigeon Wiki. I think Wally would be pleased to have...

I found someone has posted them on YouTube, for those who have yet to see First of the Summer Wine or wishing to watch again that do not have the DVDs. They go by the username knockitoffnow89. Seems to be full episodes and not mangled by anti-CP trickery (only watched a bit of the 1st ep)...

Do any of you know of a mini-version of Tom's Waldo dog puppet available? Or, something that looks similar? Or, another Last of the Summer Wine iconic type item - a small Welly, perhaps? I ask because I had an interesting idea occur to me the other night while planning visiting locations of...

Another great video by Huddersfield Outdoors. Makes me wish I was there enjoying the evening.

The train fans on here should appreciate this. Immediately thought of the trio and their escapade with a steam engine when I watched this one. I knew they were complicated machinery but did not realize how much so. Kudos to the folks at Animagraphs for this one.

Hi all, Think I have a new favorite mug and thought I might show off a bit. Just arrived yesterday afternoon. A friend sent this nice Shinyglow mug to me as a gift. Thank you friend! :) First cup of coffee in it this morn and looking forward to a cup of tea in it this afternoon. Sorry if...

Discovered this really cool youtube video last night that does a deep dive into a legendary sailing ship. It zooms in and goes through each deck to show how it was made, what each room was for and more. Absolutely fascinating. Top tier History Channel type level of video production. They...

Thought this was a really nice thing they did. I was unaware of rugby legend Mr. Doddie Weir before this video and really pleased to see the outpouring of support for him from fellow players and fans. A 555 mile ride in 48 hours with some 200 riders from Cardiff, Wales to Edinburgh, Scotland...

Sad to read that Raquel Welch has passed away Wednesday at 82. :(

Sorry on the subject matter, just kinda wondering on how things were back then. Curious about about the outside 'facilities' for how things were in the time frame of the show. Before they were converted to indoor ones. I'm drawing a distinction between full public ones such as would be near...

Quite some time ago links were posted on here for audio books of the show. Some were just the audio from the first eight series. Others had an extra commentary / narration by Peter Sallis. I did not see them recently after a quick search, will try again later. Glad I dl'ed back then. With...

Saw that Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida has passed away. I am a little more familiar with Sophia Loren from movies. Still know of her and that she was an icon.

Stumbled across this recently but not had the chance to watch yet. Looks good and funny, have not seen a feature film with them yet outside of LotSW. I know we have some Cannon and Ball fans here so thought I would share in case you missed it or just wanted a re-watch. :18:

Just recently discovered a show called Is It Legal (1995) with Richard Lumsden who played a young Foggy in First of the Summer Wine (1988). In this show Richard plays Colin a naive and stupid mistake maker who is made a junior partner that takes over the spot from his retired father. Only...

Saw this the other day and it had me thinking of Open All Hours. It has a lot of interesting pictures of stores through the ages along with narration. How grocery stores and general stores have changed over the decades since the 1900's. It mostly focuses on the stores in the U.S. but I think...
