Similarities

Well according to this I just unbeknownst watched the first episode. Seemingly a pilot as it would be a year later before the first episode of Season 1. Go figure.

Have you noticed that you often don't see them actually crash the bike, the bike goes out of shot and you hear the sound of a crash

I see what you're saying, now you come to mention it. Perhaps its health and safety rearing it's ugly head!

Sadly, more likely, cost and practicality ... you'd need stunt performers, a bit of health and safety, and probably duplicate bikes adapted for stunt work... One of Arkwright's bikes was adapted, he rides round a corner and the front wheel rolls down the hill by itself ... followed by Arkwright on a modified bike with mini wheels on the front, otherwise it would just dig in the road and stop!

Bring back Norman Wisdom he did all his own stunts

Mrs Blewett & Nora Batty seem very similar characters, but I can't quite put my finger on why that is........

That might be a good way to earn a clout 'round the ear hole.

Well, there are the walls. In LOTSW, Compo walks on top of walls, and in KUP, Hyacinth, to keep the truth about her family from Elizabeth, climbs over a wall.

Hearses seem to be a popular prop of Roy Clarkes, used several times in LOTSW & by Roses Greek 'gentleman friend' in KUA. Not that familiar with OAH or SOAH but was a hearse featured in that?

Seen in two episodes technically Parslow's funeral and when Granville persuades Arkwright to buy a van for cosy nights out with Gladys.
