    Mashi's musings...

    Here starts a new thread in which I'll occasionally briefly muse over potential 'what if..' scenarios. If there are any you would like me to consider feel free to offer suggestions in this thread. Today I'm going to look at the possibility Nora passed over before Compo and what would happen...

    Patricia Routledge

    With a very heavy heart I regretfully inform you all that Dame Patricia Routledge has passed away today at the age of 96. Whilst never meeting her personally I greatly admired her comedy work not only as Hyacinth but also in the likes of Talking Heads which she excelled at equally especially...

    When Foggy met Clegg...

    Way before the Man from Oswestry landed with his regimental scarf and various useless implements there is a much earlier television episode of another series featuring both Peter Sallis and Brian Wilde...

    NOT one of the Summer Wine novels....may get you more inflamed than Compo!

    "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...
