I did watch an episode last night, but can't remember the title where the trio, Foggy,Cleggy, and Compo came over a bridge in the country. The cobbles and flags were wet so there had just been a shower. I thought at the time the wardrobe department wouldn't like this if Foggy got mud daubed up his beige trouser. Its round about the bouncy castle episode.

Its like all of those Cowboy Films with cattle drives and stampedes not a cow pat to be seen.

Perhaps a crack shovel brigade between takes?

I think it rained in several earlier episodes, though it doesn't always show up.

Around the mid 90s I think they tended to make sure most if not all series were filmed around summer time, partly for the health of the ageing cast and to make the crew's job easier.

I think that Yorkshire has some dangerous creatures after a night at the watering holes!
