    How??

    I thought the episodes with Truly and Compo were very good - not the same without Foggy, yet these programmes did refresh the show.

    David Jason and the stutter

    In the SOAH pilot, and the first few series, David Jason used a very mild stutter as Granville, which I think was to signify the way he was becoming like Arkwright. But in later series, I felt the stutter was not used. Does anyone else think this?

    Anyone else remember those "Little Chef's"

    Berni Inns were always a treat. Anyone still got a Wimpy restaurant near to them?

    A rare Roy Clarke TV Pilot

    Around this time, Roy Clarke did another pilot - It's Only Me, Whoever I Am - starring David Jason. Wouldn't mind seeing that on YouTube or DVD.

    If two of the "Third men" should ever have met?

    When you put it like that, perhaps it wouldn't have been a good idea. Viewers was just starting to accept Aldridge, and bringing Wilde back for a one off would have been unsettling. There could have been a demand from viewers for more Wilde, and that wouldn't have been fair on Aldridge. It...

    Rare Photo

    In think it is on the back of the UK DVD. Surprised there's not a few more photos out there. Perhaps there is.

    If two of the "Third men" should ever have met?

    Crums was the episode that was going to have Brian Wilde in it - with Foggy and Seymour both trying to take command. I think it was decided it wasn't a good idea - but I think it would have been interesting as a one off. In The Man from Oswestry it is revealed Blamire and Foggy had met up and...
