I haven't watched the Oscars in ages, largely because they get too political, and the actors who make those political statements sound too emotional and completely ignorant of the facts surrounding whatever issue they're talking about. I watch actors to be entertained, not to take my marching...

The episode where he was dressed like a jockey and performing a skit with trained ferrets in a local church. I don't recall the episode's title at the moment. I also liked the bit in The Waist Land where they dressed in disguise to evade capture for selling Sid and Ivy's food at the fitness camp.

Hey maltrab, don't let Electrical Entwistle get wind of this! You're cutting into his side business of selling refurbished washing machines! LOL!

What do you think was the most interesting and/or funniest item to ever come out of her shop? Two items that come to mind for me are the dinosaur from "Jurassic No Parking" and the inflatable castle from "Stop That Castle". I'm fairly sure the dinosaur came from her shop, though not 100%...

I'm talking about ones that appeared in 1 episode, maybe 2 at the absolute most, and that was it. Armpepper (Ballad For Wind Instruments And Canoe) the tramp (Big Day At Dream Acres) Ludovic (Cheering Up Ludovic) Sam (Getting Sam Home) Aubrey (How To Get Rid Of A Cousin) Doggy Wilkinson (The...

...but anyway here goes. I chose the screen name "manfromoswestry" because it's the title of the episode that introduced Foggy Dewhurst to the LOTSW cast. I'm from the USA -- the state of New Jersey in particular, but I won't get any more specific than that. I've been an LOTSW fan since a...

The scenes where the trio was rowing the boat were quite idyllic, don't you think? I know summerwine.net has a map of the bridge that the trio passed in one scene. I'd like to know where the spot was where the trio rested as the canoe drifted away on its own.

So many favorites that I can't pick just one. Among some of my current favorites are... All Mod Conned -- I love those scenes at the beach, which I think were at Spurn Point. The Man From Oswestry -- The introduction of Foggy. Him getting his scarf caught up in the cart wheel was hilarious...

I'd love to get my hands on that giant carrot the trio carried around in one particular episode.

Is this actually a legitimate challenge in Britain, or something that was purely made up for the series? This is definitely among my top 10 favorite episodes currently, especially considering the lengths they went to just to get Alvin and Howard over that row of hedges! I still chuckle...

The trilogy of episodes covering Compo's passing are still hard to watch to this day. I get teary-eyed knowing the actor who played Compo Simmonite is no longer with us. "To be as children" is a classic Biblical quote, and I think it fits Compo's personality to a tee. If Compo was a real...

I don't recall if I brought up this topic a while ago, but anyway, I'm curious to know whatever happened to all the vehicles used in the series, like... that power blue truck Auntie Wainright used to transport antiques Entwistle's truck Sid and Ivy's chip van from "Getting Sam Home"...

There used to be just about every episode imaginable on Youtube, but now, hardly any. Do you think the BBC put pressure on Youtube to take down the episodes for copyright reasons? Also, here in the US, there are several episodes from the Blamire years I can't get on DVD -- namely the pilot...

One of my favorite Smiler moments was when he was looking forward to eating a cream cake for his tea break, only to be disappointed that Compo swiped it.

Two episodes from the Blamire years come to mind... Hail Smiling Morn Or Thereabouts -- Perhaps Blamire's obsession with photography could've been explored further, like perhaps maybe the trio could've camped out in the abandoned building again the following night and gotten up in time for...
