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

    Here's a poser for January for you... When you think about things do you see, the exit and reintroduction of Foggy aside from his run, as one continuous stretch of episodes with him as third man or two distinct eras of the show. Admittedly the supporting cast of the extended Pegdens, Auntie etc...

    Irreplaceable?

    Compo's position was taken in various forms, to varying degrees of success by Tom, Billy, Barry and Alvin. Blamire was succeeded well in the most part by Foggy, Seymour, Truly and Hobbo. Clegg was sidelined with Entwistle taking on his characteristics as well as some of Wesley's and even...

    What's Santa brought for everyone including Nora then?

    In this game it's quite festively simple...all you have to do is say the present, who bought it and for who? To start with we have Ivy getting Nora a hat.

    Theory of Relativity.

    On a re-watch of Truly of the Yard's debut 'There goes the Groom' this afternoon I noticed the bride to be, Millie refers to the triumph of of the red Herald as as 'Aunt Edie'. This begs the question of whose child she was. As an Utterthwaite she'd be unlikely to be Seymour or Rozs so was there...

    'My' very best episode!

    Here's a new spin on an often repeated question... What episode do you think the characters, not the actors, would choose as their own very best episode...it could be where Compo succeeds, temporarily, gaining affection, Foggy's plan almost works or whatever you think they would look on as...

    The Bath is Stopped!

    Imagine if you will someone has gone back in time and removed the infamous bath episode from ever being written. What iconic imagery would the public now define our beloved show with?

    Surprisingly quick Return of the Warrior?

    It's fairly well known that Truly was a hastily drafted in replacement for Foggy after his shingles outbreak. However on recent rewatches of Foggy's return episodes it's rather apparent that many were written with Mr Utterthwaite in mind instead. What are people's thoughts on this and when does...

    Hawks (1988)

    This is a film not for the faint hearted but watching it despite the subject matter is highly life affirming. Timothy Dalton along with Anthony play two young men on a cancer ward and their steadfast refusal to let it define them and their final days. Their Nurse Ratched of sorts is none other...

    What's the Hoblem with Probbo?

    I'm not detecting a lot of love for our Hobbo from people so I thought I'd have a look back and see re-evaluate his era. There are certainly bits I like such as his wish to make Howard's life more comfortable when he's kicked out especially and for the rarer occasions when he's calm and has a...

    Missing storyline scenes...

    Seeing the latest great installment of Summer Wine Decanted made me think of some missing storyline scenes. As we know Mrs Avery kicked Tom out of his own house but the next the house is used properly is Alvin moving in and not any reaction to his family home being taken over again. Surely this...

    You can prove anything with statistics...

    ...60% of people know that. Here's some interesting statistics that may prove useful springboards for expanded discussion elsewhere...[source IMDB] Peter Sallis appeared in every single episode [probably known by all anyway however.... Howard only appeared in 15 episodes fewer than Nora! Pearl...

    "Who's That With Barry, Wesley and Glenda?"

    On rewatching the magificent in so many ways episode that is Last Post & Pigeon t'other day I noticed at Roz's homecoming there appears to be another lady with Barry, Wesley and Glenda that is never identified - yet another Pegden? Perhaps they used to breed more than Simmonites!

    50 Years of Summer Wine...

    In January it will mark 50 years since the pilots transmission. Early thoughts at this stage but does anyone fancy a meetup weekend in Holmfirth to mark the occasion in some way next year?

    Character Titles

    After doing a long trawl I came up with the following as a list of definite titles that have main characters names in. Some that were excluded include the likes of The Man from Oswestry, That Certain Smile or even Enter the Hawk where the character is alluded to but not named. "Who's That...

    2018 marks 60 years since the inception of the Carry Ons with none other than Summer Wine's own Bill Owen in a leading role in the very first. What did you think of them and for the quizzers which entries in the series did he appear in? :)
