Denton Pette's latest activity

I realise this has been quoted before perhaps from "Getting Sam Home"? Then all those brightly plumed kids who left school, flying cheerfully and didn't get far. Ran smack into World War II........... Little Tommy Naylor, lying in...

May I concur with Amos, that was excellent writing, and the acting was stellar. It's not often I get wrapped up in the moment, but that was touching.

Not strictly a mistake, but, in a recent screening of "Wheelies" , Bill Owen is being towed for the first time on the giant wheel, he sees the ladies of the village, he raises his hand to lift his woolly hat, then suddenly drops his...

If I may add to this thread at a late stage, A rarely screened gem turned up in the UK recently screened on The Talking Pictures Channel. A thriller called "The Capone Investment" It had as a main star Peter Sallis, amongst John Thaw...

I have just watched "That Certain Smile" and when the trio visit smiler he speaks very gently, but later on when he becomes a regular character, he speaks more like Blakey from On The Buses, It seems as if it is a set speech pattern...

In response to Seymour's question, since as late as the 80's smoking was almost a social thing, very many of the Summer wine cast were smokers. Sadly the extent of the damage smoking can do was either not entirely understood, or, more...

Compo's father was a Wythenshawe from Chesterfield.

Thank you for your reply Roger, this is all new to me, and adds more to the ongoing storyline

I am probably repeating a previous thread, but, Compo reveals his fathers surname was Withenshaw, yet he presumably uses his mothers maiden name Simmonite, as I missed very early episodes this was new to me I have just watched " Here we...

Not strictly continuity error, but in Sid's Cafe the machines on the wall near the counter change function, in one episode it is a chewing gum dispenser, by the next episode it has gone to be replaced with something else, then 3...

As the early episodes are being screened currently in UK I am catching up on missed episodes. In "Jubilee" the trio are at vicars house and Clegg comes in and slams the door, pulling the door knob off, and at the same time the wall to...
