There was no need to run the wire all around the picture rail on the back wall, they could have run it over the front window frame and, if necessary, over the top of the kitchen partition wall, which would have an equal amount of wiring on show, but less cable needed. You did ask.

That's when children were children.

Wasn't there a similar storage space in A Bicycle Made for Three, where the trio mended their bicycles?

He forgot what he was talking about - and so pretended to be mesmerised by Naga, to jokingly cover up his forgetfulness. Earlier he had explained how to keep it going when you have a weak moment in a stage show - I suppose this is a similar instance really.

The two series after Seymour's exit are exceptionally good too. After this point, the series did get weaker.

Sounds like the perfect day.

John Landty (sometimes John F Landry) can be seen in episodes of Turtle's Progress, on Youube, in which he had the lead role.

It's been the discussion on the radio for the last month or more, some stations have re-broadcast the event. Yet not one mention of the causes or charities that it was supposed to help.

There's a piece of music Ronnie Hazlehurst used many times for pub scenes, or anything to do with pubs. (I think we first hear it Spring Fever, when Nora removes her un-Wally-like husband from the pub.) I imagine that comes from an old sing or original piece of music. No idea what. EDIT. In...

Actually. I think the 'Get out and get under' bit was used in the music during Northern Flying Circus. Well done for spotting that.

I'll be honest, the two LOTSW episodes are a better advert for Scarborough, than the this video - but I'd still go, even now, if someone else wanted to go.

When people were happier.

Even though they could have kept the sets at the end of each series, and borrowed costumes from previous period dramas and other series that would have been somewhere? In the UK at least, it was policy to destroy most studio sets at the end of each individual series - to save money on storage...

Yes - when Series 4 came out, the show was much gentler, and set the tone and basis for many years to come.

It would have been interesting to see how Blamire developed, or under-developed, over the years - because I think both the smoking and the politics would have featured less.

Don't forget, Getting Sam Home was originally written with Blamire in mind, as a book.

There were plenty of episodes in the late 70s and early 80s that would have worked for Blamire. We know Series Three was written with Blamire in mind. In Series Four, Who Made a Bit of a Splash in Wales, we have Foggy pursuing a welsh widow - and this would have suited Blamire much more. We go...

Yes, I believe after the show first aired, this was reported.

For the first time ever, all 6 complete episodes of WW are now available to watch on YouTube. Not a bad series this - the links with LOTSW are very obvious, and, although not written by Roy Clarke, it's similar to his style.

Compo, Foggy and Smiler more like!
