Been out to see Nearly Dan a Steely Dan tribute act so missed the Last night of the Proms so will be watching on catch up.

Its not the chuffing Pole Compo's wife ran off with is it :tw::fp:

I think its the washing line , discoloured by the weather and grime , that Gordon Stackpole returned and got his money back Arkwright put it there as a sort of tribute to the only person who he gave a refund to and perhaps as a warning to other that he'd done it once and once only with no chance...

IF you search the threads , there are still members on here who cannot bring themselves to watch those episodes because they are so emotional which is testimony to the compassionate way Roy Clarke handled Bill's passing, the episodes are a mix of pathos and humour handled beautifully by all who...

I have just seen the story on BBC Breakfast , it is an epic piece of sculpture up there with the Angel of the North . One of the Project people was saying its volunteer funding , the construction team haven't been fully paid yet so their goodwill has played a huge part in getting it to this...

U & Gold are getting to be more adventurous , not personally for the best always . Months ago I booked two tickets to see the Fawlty Towers play at the Theatre Royal Newcastle at the cost of £80 only to now find U & Gold have secured broadcasting it this month :mad: . I cannot not watch it and...

Granville: It's been a busy day when you've been out that shop bell has never stopped mostly it was you coming back to check up on me. Arkwright: Where was it you wanted to go on our Honeymoon Nurse: Tahiti Arkwright: So you want to go on the water then I was thinking about water too how about...

In the well catered funeral Arkwright: Are you leaving us so soon my love. Nurse: I have to tuck my mother in Arkwright: It's a pity you didn't tuck her in with old Parslow .

After handling all sorts of goods in the shop , the step up to a role of importer / exporter was a breeze especially with help from the likes of Monkey Harris.

I think it could be , looks like , even in the snippet we see, it's the way Ivy's deportment was in most shots when dressed and out with the ladies , the arm position is the give away .

Far better likeness for all three.

I would definitely continue may as well see the show through to its conclusion before it was cancelled , Russ Abbot simply plays himself from the time when he was a huge success with his TV series a bit like Smiler who was Blakey reincarnated . The ludicrous plot of him being a spy is gleaned I...

I was lucky I suppose started on pager so if any issues had to run around looking for a working payphone initially cash then card but eventually got an early Nokia phone as I was on call for initially mainframe operating system support and then network Company covered the costs so I never ever...

I feel for Doug Naylor all that effort , writing most of what was asked of him only for some numbskull no mark from U and Dave to turn around and say thanks but we are changing direction and we won't be making this type of show any more . It's just not cricket is the polite way of saying what...

I feel for the writers clearly they have expended a lot of effort and had written a lot of material , I read that Doug Naylor had signed a contract so he will get paid for his efforts thus far but I wouldn't imagine Craig, Chris, Danny and Robert had signed anything so won't receive anything ...

The kidney can effectively come from cattle , pigs or sheep, lamb's kidney is considered the finest of all three and is noticeably more expensive though calves liver is perhaps the most expensive . All are prepared by the butcher ready for use , most people would rinse them before cooking , I...

Its the hard fat from around a cow or sheep's kidney and loins mixed with flour, water , salt and pepper to make a dough . It is used to line a pudding basin and normally filled with cooked stewing steak and kidney in a rich gravy and then steamed . The suet pastry is rather soft when steamed as...

A couple of years back attended a Fawlty Towers themed meal with all the characters at the then Theatre Royal restaurant in Newcastle it was brilliantly manic and the food was quite good.

Wow what a great week Amos you looked like you had a great time , you mentioned Robin Hood's bay without pointing out the hill so I'm guessing you must be quite active because I have visited twice and the hill in both directions is a mare but it is well worth the effort . Hawes is indeed a...
