    Director's Chair deal alert in the US

    I should say, relatively speaking. Usually $45+ USD. https://ebay.us/m/RBTmYe US $23.96 + free ship with Buy it Now.

    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.

    Mushy Peas

    Picked this up at an international grocery store in Cincinnati. I look forward to sampling to discover what the lore (or fuss : ) is all about.

    I am learning much about what I don't know

    https://britizen.uk/practice/life-in-the-uk-test I got a lowly 58% on the first test. It's nice that there are explanations of the ones I got wrong. I think perusing this forum (and Wikipedia ITN nominations) over the years helped with understanding more about UK culture and history. Perhaps...

    TRUELOVE - I almost thought this was a spinoff

    Perhaps not. Young Truly might make for a good show. https://www.vitalthrills.com/acorn-tv-march-2025/

    Opinions Wanted: So "The Library Mob" didn't stick

    Fortunately. What I do wonder is what other names at that time could have been considered that would also have less staying power (without the hindsight of 30+ years of success)? It's Raining Again

    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...

    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...

    Young ___________________ ?

    I know they've already tried a "First of the Summer Wine" spinoff. I've always wondered which character (could be any of them) would make for a strong lead in a "Young ____________" series supported by the other stalwarts (open as well to characters who never appears in LOTSW). Who do you think...
