    Clever camera work

    By the final series of Last of the Summer Wine, Peter Sallis and Frank Thornton had largely been confined to brief, seated scenes because of their age and the insurance restrictions on location filming. How, then, were their scenes in the final episode, How Not to Cry at Weddings, actually...

    Yorkshirenders

    Tounge-in-cheek show outline combining soap with a more rural setting. I can't claim any credit for this but blame is another matter. Yorshirenders A gritty northern market town collides with big-city East End survival. Set in the fictional Yorkshire mill town of Bracklesby, Yorshirenders...

    Here after all these years.

    Having a great time here in sunny Holmfirth today. Very surreal to see many sites of the show. Spoke with a lot of interesting people at the various sites we went to and they were all very friendly and helpful. Currently at the White Horse (waiting on a bus after misunderstanding how the...

    Can someone explain Wetherspoons to me?

    In preparation for our visit there is the occasional hotel or two I've researched that has made mention (actually warnings) about rooms adjacent to nearby Wetherspoons. I googled "wetherspoons " and they looks like regular restaurant-style bars, nothing too bizzare. I thought it looked like a...

    FotSW character decoder

    I am watching First of the Summer Wine but getting confuses as to who is supposed to be who. Though I'm still working on the visuals (Foggy being the easiest to pick out because of his stature and uniform). I asked for some clarification and received the following. I'm probably the only one not...

    Choral LOTSW theme song

    My apologies if this has already been posted. I'm not always the biggest fan of the vocal/sung versions but this is very nice. Edit: Crud - it is apparently a preview only if not listening directly on Spotify.

    Did Compo's flat come with extended storage?

    Watching Concerto For Solo Bicycle (S15 Ep 07) and noticing Compo rolling his bicycle out a door some distance away from his flat (with at least one other residence in between). Was this just done for filming logistics (can't imagine Bill Owen rolling a bike out of the tight entrance and then up...

    The Tank Museum / Tankfest

    We are looking at trying to visit next year but Dorset is not familiar to me (would be our first UK visit!). Harder to look up (at least strategically) accommodations and transportation the way I would more populated areas. Asking inputs for anyone familiar with the best way to get there/around...

    National Maritime Museum (Greenwich, UK)

    Has anyone visited this location? Years ago, in the Navy, I worked for endless hours over a navigation product called a Dead Reckoning Table (DRT). It was a huge(ish), intricate glass-and-wood table - practically a work of art. They really were impressive pieces of engineering and craftsmanship...

    How accurate a statement is this?

    https://screenrant.com/wallace-and-gromit-vengeance-most-fowl-movie-easter-eggs/ Judging by the picture. I seem to always remember a darker (thinner) outercoat. Definitely don't remember a yellow raincoat. The flatcap is spot on.

    Vengeance Most Fowl

    Just finished watching the latest Wallace and Gromit. Outstanding, I can't imagine the amount of work that went into that movie. I think Truly would have appreciated the name of the narrowboat belonging to the soon-to-be-retired Chief Inspector Mackintosh.
