The only other time I have seen Nora with such a cheezy happy grin is when she was telling Wally that "OWER DUDLEY" was a "SCREAM". Wally on the other and just thought he was "A REAL DUDLEY".....he made Nora laugh.....and Wally laughed also "when he broke his leg"....I blame those terrible...

With 1 of Ivy's buns in each ear....stuck under his green wooly hat.....and a pair of milk bottle bottom thick glasses Clegg was spot on when he said that our scruffy hero could be Japanese....a kung fu kicking kamakazi loony.......[he scared Nora with his Bruce Lee impression in the cafe !!!!!]

And don't forget the famous postbox where the former owner of Billy's bow used to fire an arrow through the letterbox !!!!.....after hearing Aunty's "fabrication" Billy got his bow....and his wife [and her sister no doubt !!] got her lamp !!.

Cleggy was quite concerned that his elbow may be......LITHUANIAN !!!!

Now I have been thinking....... we have had so many "stars" on our beloved show.....in fact we have had many posts about our favourites......BUT.....can someone PLEASE explain what Eli and James brought to any of the 5 episodes they were in...we know that they will never eat another banana...and...

Surreal...but true..... A driver who comes into the docks was telling me the company he works for has trackers on every van..... He was on his dinner break....finished it...and went on his way dropping off parcels...... 45 minutes later he need to go to the toilet.....so he stopped at a pub...

Barry.....what a lovely thing to say...it means a lot to me. That is an example of the unique beauty of our unique beautiful site..... We really are a global family of barmpots who genuinely care and look out for each other. I am so proud and privileged to be a family member..... As I have...

I think Barry's brilliant idea in the cafe really helped Tom's character develop and evolve......moving in with Smiler,combined with his "charity work" [remember...Aunty didn't pay either of them !!!!] at Aunty's enabled him to "become" Tom....to really put his own mark on the character.

CAPTAIN !!!...what about his deerstalker...with his pipe and his horn rimmed glasses......when he went all intellectual and charmed Marina !!!

I would have picked Howard's cap...but it's got a spider in it !!!....and I do like the little pink number Compo was modelling in the window of the ladies dress shop...but I have chosen Nora's hat that looked amazingly like the loaf/cake Alvin was eating for breakfast......he even showed Billy...

And what about Smiler's friend's dead dog........it was sitting there....wagging it's tail...that is how he knew it was his dog....he offered it a crisp....which it refused...that is how he knew it was dead !!!.....P.C.Cooper confirmed to P.C. Walsh,Tom and Smiler that at least we know dead dogs...

Let's not forget that "badly shorn sheep" [according to Compo !!!].....which was in fact a lovely Standard Poodle.......which would have got a "load of stick from cheeky mongrels"...."FIFI !!!!".... THE BADLY SHORN SHEEP !!!! X!

The greatest smoking scene in our wonderful show occured in "The flag and further snags".........there's our scruffy hero....in his own words..."SITTING IN THE BACK OF A ROLLS ROYCE....SMOKIN' A DOGEND"..... it simply could not get any better !!!!. X!

One of my favourite episodes !!...the introduction of the direct decendant of Robin Hood...on his mother's side...she were a Bristoe.....rotten drunk firing his arrow and hitting the sign outside The White Horse.....Nora all love struck because of Billy's resemblance to Robin Hood [I am afraid...

The most wonderful thing about being an official "BARMPOT" is that there is no "final episode"......OUR SHOW just goes on and on...we never tire of a single series from 1 to 31 !!!!......it is always with us...and always remains a constant !!!.....a barrier and visual comfort blanket against the...

Manchester [or the aversion to it] has spread to our favourite "ladies coffee mornings"......remember....Glenda said Barry had never been further than Manchester...to which Ivy states "well no good ever comes out of going to Manchester"........and that is followed by Pearl's accusation that "...

Brian genuinely seemed to be really enjoying himself in his role..... He particularly shone when he was verbally jousting with Nora......I think he is the only character [or person we did not even see !!!] that actually got the better of her from time to time...he always said she was...

When the intoxicated "Captain Zero" was dragged to the cells by our favourite boys in blue our scruffy hero said "I'm not dooin' it !!!"....but realising that he would be getting accosted by lovely ladies [especially Nora] he agreed to become "Captain Zero mark 2".....he got to kiss the...

STEPHEN !!!!!...it is SO GOOD to see you back amongst your "Summerwine family members" !!!!...I was gettin' worried about you !!!...and talking of Wally...In "The Mysterious Feet of Nora Batty" ...when Ivy says "AND I'M SURPRISED AT YOU...YOU A MARRIED MAN"...Wally replies "I WAS...

Now...I have been thinking..... We all know those 5 notes that MOST PEOPLE would identify as the most famous EVER [please stay with me on this...'cos it may seem a trifle surreal !!!]..YES !!...those 5 notes when the scientists are trying to make contact with the aliens in " Close Encounters Of...
