In the early 90s, when I moved to a new city and started an extremely stressful job, watching LOTSW helped me cope. I felt transported to a beautiful place the instant the show started, especially the episodes that started by showing the river outside Nora’s and Compo’s.

Thanks for the memories, Rick. As Ivy says, “There’s worse places than this.” And still, I fantasize about Summer Wine country, and what it might have been like to live there during the time of FOTSW. Also I wonder how the kids’ lives would have been during the Great Depression. I’m reminded of...

I’ve never seen Red Dwarf, so I watched some Youtubes just now. I might have to keep watching it... And yes, I can see why you’d say that, Rick about Lister and our young Compo.

I love FOTSW! I’d like to know what all the songs are in this series. I found some of them, but I can’t find the music that was played at the end of the pilot episode, where they’re at the dance at the church. I find it interesting how the interior of Norman Clegg’s home gets more...

Wellyman, I think chiggers leave you with tiny itchy bumps all over your skin. I got them once when I was a kid, from sleeping on the carpet at a friend's.

I’m curious about life around Holmfirth, too, and how much technology has made a difference in the scenes of daily life. Is laundry still hung out to dry? Are stores closing because of internet shopping? Is it now more difficult to live there without a car? And, on the show, they often took...

Speaking of FOTSW, does anyone know why Deborah Norbury's hair suddenly went from blond in season 1, to black in season 2? Even with a different actress playing her, surely they'd want to make sure we can recognize her from season 1, especially since she doesn't speak much in season 2.

Hi Barryboy, Emma, and everybody else! I haven't been around lately, because all my spare time is devoted to a project that will help boost my sideline gig. I watched all the episodes of LOTSW in 2018, but I've sworn off it until this project is finished. (Instead, I've been watching FOTSW...

Hi, Onslow. I liked Keeping Up Appearances, too! (Though not as much as LOTSW.)

Hi, cciaffone. I'm just now exploring Delaware! Nice place, some old buildings, antique stores... Of course, everything pales, compared to Yorkshire. (Sigh.)

Hi Emma! Welcome!

Here's the link showing the floor plan and some of the interior of 16 Back Lane: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detailMatching.html?prop=69885650&sale=55543442&country=england# It's so different from the room layout in the show. I prefer the show's interior, with the combined kitchen...

Yes, it looks like it is! Thank you, maltrab. I wonder how old it is; the UK real estate websites don't seem to list Year Built.

Does anyone know where the Clegg family house from FOTSW is located? I saw this picture online, which looks like it could be it, at Paris Road, Scholes, Holmfirth HD9, but I'm still not sure. In the show, it's not easy to tell whether it's a two-story house or three-story...

Oops! Yes, Howard and Marina! But really, I'd like to see these two get together: Smiler and Marina. As a team, they'd be hilarious, especially with Howard having a fit and Pearl at her finest! But maybe it's been done already; I haven't seen all the episodes yet.

Thank you, howardandmariana!

I can't wait to watch those episodes, then! More reason to work toward buying the most complete DVD collection from the UK and finding some way to play them in the US! I plan to change the region on a second-hand laptop, and try to play the Season 2 First of the Summer Wine DVD I've ordered...

Well, I'm a bit like Clegg, because he likes a simple life, but Glenda's the one I'd want to be more like. She's so nice and has such a fresh, positive outlook on things. I root for her every time her mother scolds her at coffee with the ladies.

Lucky, indeed, if your PBS station shows it! When ours stopped, I called asked them why, and they said it was because the show is too expensive.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! The photos in the Photo Corner are just gorgeous!
