No Sign of the Cast

[maltrab]

There have been several episodes, one I can think of is "Come in Sunray Major" at the end the cast are chatting in the pub but we cannot see them

I can only guess the cast were not in the pub, just a outside shot and they added the dialogue later, there are other examples of this,what ones can you recall

 

[gill]

This one's nearly no sign. At the start of The suit That Attract 's Blonde's the trio on a hillside talking in the distance you could not see who they were

 

[gill]

You may know this Terry the end scene of Das (welly) Boot was the same as Come In Sunray Major. I can't recall if our trio were chatting or not

 

[gill]

In the episode The Mag Thigh's of Ernie B. Compo is on a go kart moaning about how he can't straighten up you only see them right at the end of the scene

 

[gill]

In Defeat of the Stonework Cleggy and Howard are talking for a while at the cellar of Clegg's you only see them when they go down the stairs

 

[dick]

The bit in WIND POWER where they test the "sail" on top of the hill Could be any one but you can hear the trio's voices .

 

[captain clutterbuck]

I was going to say Pearl in any episode, from Howard's perspective , because when he is in shot he thinks Pearl could be anywhere nearby , in earshot and ready to verbally bend his ear at any time !

The final scene in Small Tune On A Penny Wassail. We see the exterior of Clegg's house and hear the trio talking about the bad language they heard from the band players.

And which episode is it? At the end we see an exterior shot of Hollowgate Fisheries and hear one of the trio inquiring how fish is just the right size for the batter.

Think there is a Christmas episode where we here foggy talking at the end with a long shot of cleggs house.

 

[amos hames]

Might have been one in a blamire era episode

 

[PKDurham]

It's "Who Made a bit of a Splash in Wales" where you see the fisheries with the trio talking.

There's also "Getting on Sidney's Wire" which ends on a shot of some Public Toilets, with the voice overs playing.

Is Hollowgate Fisheries supposed to be in Holmfirth, Hollowgate or where? Fish and chips shop? I've always been puzzled.

 

[Adanor]

That long shot ending accomplishes three things at the same time. First, ending with a long shot is a traditional way to end an TV episode or a movie. Second, running the action right up to the last second through the credits was a creative way to limit the BEEB from doing voice overs, and third, it gave the actors a break. They could sit and do the dialog in a comfortable studio setting rather than rambling over the hills.

It is still there, just down the road from Nora's

 

[captain clutterbuck]

Fish and Chips is a Bank Holiday staple for a lot of people anyone swayed by the photograph ??

Hollowgate is the Holmfirth street along the other side of the river from Scarfold, the road below the wall in front of Compo's and Nora's cottages. The "gate" suffix is probably from the Norse language, in which a gate is a road and a bar is a gate, as in the street and city gate names in York.
