If Blamire had stayed longer, I think the series would have ended after series 3, or possibly series 4. I think it would have become one of the "forgotten" sitcoms. I mean, can you imagine Blamire doing the things Foggy did in series 3...
I’m just watching an episode of Tales of The Unexpected with a great trio of Fulton Mackay, Harry H Corbett and Bill Owen as bank robbers. Then who should pop up 15 minutes into it but Joe Gladwin!!
What a cast.
A unique naturally funny man......a man whos smile lit up the room.
Physical humour and body language he had no peers [apart from Stan and Oli maybe ??].
An absolute integral part of "our show"......every scene was impeccable.....the...
Sussex born Danny O'Dea died in a Hartshead, Yorkshire nursing home on 16 April 2003 aged 91. My neice had accompanied him from the nursing home for some LOTSW filming. They dropped Smiler off on their way back, she described both of...

There was no "smutty conclusion"......the specific scene just stopped and...
I am reading the discussion here and I think people have to remember the earliest years of Summer Wine weren't always PG rates. Wasn't it Clegg looking through an adult magazine in the barbershop in Short Back and Palais Glide? It's...
Not sure what the problem with Mr Wainwright's character is, to be honest. (Well, apart from the obvious, that is).
I was under the impression that the two lady librarians (Mrs Partridge and Miss Moody) were quite welcoming towards his...
