    Weird timestamps on forum notifications

    When I click on the notification icon the timestamps are sometimes in the future and say tomorrow or later today! Has anyone else seen these alerts from the future?!

    At the end of the episode Ros goes back to Edie's house and besides her family there's another woman who comes out to greet her. Does anyone know who she is meant to be?

    Davenport

    Was the bloke who played Davenport in "Diversions with Davenport" also Del's dad in an episode of Only Fools and Horses?

    Words from yesteryear

    The insults in SW got me thinking, what words do you remember from the past which have gone out of use? Berk and pillock are two that spring to mind.

    LotSW link to Laurel & Hardy

    We're slowly making the way through the Summer Wine DVD box set and one episode we saw recently had a snippet of Laurel & Hardy music. I believe this is because a woman in the scene is Stan Laurel's daughter. It got me thinking that a similarity of SW and L&H is that a core theme in many...

    The Black Widow

    Watched this last night and it's amazing how many times they said the name Mrs Jack Attercliffe, it must have been at least a dozen. Was Roy Clarke having a bad writing day or is there some kind of in-joke about the repetition?

    What the characters did offscreen

    Do you ever imagine what the characters did offscreen in the rest of their life in Summer Wine land? I have an image of Clegg reading a book or listening to the radio in the evening, but not popping next door for a brew because Pearl is too scary!

    Cast pay

    Was wondering, did the cast get paid well for SW, at least when it'd got established and grew in popularity?

    Weird scratching noises in the loft

    We keep hearing scratching noises in the loft but whenever I go up there's no signs of birds or rodents. Because I read The Exorcist years ago and the first signs of something happening is sounds in the attic it freaks me out every time I go up in our loft!

    Cities in the 1890s

    This popped up on my YT feed recently and it's fascinating to see times gone by so long ago:

    A rare Peter Sallis non-LotSW role

    We've been watching the TV series Kingdom on DVD and there's an episode with Peter Sallis, and another Summer Winer June Whitfield. It was good to see him in a different role and it's a shame he didn't get more TV work.

    Breathy actors

    My wife watches a lot of TV dramas and I've noticed that some actors have a breathy style of talking as though they're slightly out of breath. Can't work out if this is deliberate or just poor acting. Mrs WM is currently watching The Tower that she recorded and an actor on it who is lauded in...

    Nervous actor

    On the Wormley Witches episode tonight Nora had to try and get something out of Alvin's eye with a hanky and her hands were shaking really badly. I always imagined actors to be confident but it seems that even they get nervous with some things.

    Wharmby Street

    Just watched an episode in which there was a street sign of Wharmby Street. This is obviously a nod to Gordon Wharmby who had died by this point. Are there any other such nods to previous cast members?

    The Magic Fly

    No, not the instrumental track from the 70s. We've been plagued by flies lately (a downside of rural living) and they seem to magically appear out of nowhere. In the bathroom last night there were two but when I killed one there were than three flying around! And why is it they can find their...

    Missed my books

    My books had been boxed since last November when we started packing in preparation for moving house. After being in our new place since March we've finally got the library room decorated and the bookcases in place. It's taking ages to get the books out of boxes and arranged on the shelves, but...
