    Gentle Comedies

    I think there may be some eps of this on YouTube: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Gas_and_Gaiters

    It takes a village?

    There seems to be little in the way of comedies which appeal to all age groups these days.

    Whither and Wheretofore Howard, Pearl and Marina?

    I think there`s one episode where Marina kisses him fully on the lips and he seems quite surprised.

    First of the Summer Wine on YouTube

    Me too. Me too. And those prequels IMO miss the point of the original comedy that you don`t need to know what the characters were like in their youth.

    How important is the setting?

    AFAIK Summer Wine was unusual for a sitcom in having lots of location scenes and the setting was far from standard. The town and surrounding countryside were a character in themselves.

    Whither and Wheretofore Howard, Pearl and Marina?

    Howard, Pearl and Marina were great additions to the show even if not needed. Adultery is certainly no fun for the wronged party, but LotSW is a comic world and not meant to be taken seriously, and if being honest comedy often comes from someone`s misfortune.

    First of the Summer Wine on YouTube

    Maybe I`m an outlier but First of the Summer Wine didn`t interest me. Like Rock and Chips which is the prequel for Only Fools and Horses these things never reach the heights of the original.

    A UK Drama Rant!!!!

    I watch YT through my TV so unfortunately I don`t think it`s possible to block the ads on that.

    A UK Drama Rant!!!!

    Yeah, there comes a point where there`s too many ads that it`s pointless trying to watch a programme. I watch a lot of stuff on YouTube and the ads on there are getting worse in length, but as yet I can`t afford to pay for premium. It`s particularly annoying when watching things like hiking...

    A UK Drama Rant!!!!

    I hate adverts. And some are so stupid or annoying that I seriously wonder how the people who make them don`t feel like their working lives are utterly demoralising. They even have the nerve to call themselves creatives.

    No, it was another Micro with similar memory but had quite a lot of differences.
