Do you know if the Morris Bright book has information not in Andrew Vine's book to make it worth getting?

Maltrab, that pages shows a more affordable book by Morris Bright. Do you know if that one is worth reading?

I'm due some holiday money and thought I'd see how much the Alan J Bell book is secondhand. Was shocked how much it is so unfortunately won't be buying it. At least I have Andrew Vine's book.

We're they also peppering sentences with the word "like"?

I'll have to keep schtum about that, sorry.

Does anyone know what happened to Peri?

I'm late 50s and getting the old man's bladder problem in the night. Very annoying!

Sid might find Howard and Marina skulking in similar outfits if he gets in the water with a wetsuit

I recently got to meet someone who was an extra on a few episodes of Summer Wine, occasionally with a small speaking part. It was interesting to find out a bit of what life in TV is like.

This YouTube channel contains some good stuff including interviews with Summer Wine cast: https://m.youtube.com/@ClassicBritishTelly

Sorry if this has been done before, but do you have any favourite Eli moments? There are lots of good ones, including where he walks into a conservatory on the back of a lorry. Does anyone know if Eli was Roy Clarke's idea for a character or Alan Bell's? Presumably he was inspired by Mr Magoo.

That video is showing as unavailable.

Yes, there are times that he stands his ground, but IIRC other times he's all mouth and trousers so loses his nerve about something and gets someone else to do it. But then my memory is not good so maybe I'm misremembering. Should also mention that he doesn't like to stand his round in the pub...

I thought that Foggy often loses his nerve rather than always stands his ground.

I dunno, some of the wives were fierce!
