    Hi everyone, I am not a Facebook user, but my partner tells me that an indoor cat rehoming service named Deliverance is looking for a forever home for two felines... and their names are Compo and Nora Batty! Here is a link (for Facebook users) to the page.

    THE AFTER-EFFECTS OF SUMMER WINE

    All things Summer Wine seem to be permanently embedded in my mind. A couple of days ago, when something went wrong at home, I found myself exclaiming "what the blood and stomach pills is going on?" Later, family discussion turned to ferrets and the strange fact that their poo stinks like nothing...

    LOOKEELIKEE

    We have, in our market town, a Foggy Dewhurst lookeelikee! Honestly, the resemblance is remarkable. Same clothes (including the cap), same height, same gait and a walking stick to boot. My son and I saw him as we climbed into our car before heading to the town centre. As we arrived - and to our...

    MEMORIES...

    I wonder if any of you can help solve a small, personal mystery? Back in 1968/69, when I was much younger and marginally less ugly than I am now, I featured in a TV programme in which celebrities read stories to a small group of children... I was one of the latter! It was a bit like Jackanory...

    PLEASE TO REMEMBER...

    Good evening everyone. Need your help. There is a scene in the cafe where Truly is talking to Ivy while eating a sandwich. Frank Thornton’s performance is so hilarious, Jane Freeman starts to ‘corpse’ and is but a moment away from completely losing her composure. Can anyone remember which...

I just wanted to relay to you all a story from late last year. We decided to make a Christmas comedy film, with our two young...
