Mr Microwave is in Lawrence of Arabia.

And Open All hours too - I think.

Absolute gold.

Absolutely brilliant. Great how the actors pose in character for this photos. A reminder of why we love the show so much.

Fantastic picture - looks so nostalgic and fun.

It was Dewhurst in Foggy's first stint (in the Flag saga there is the irony: How do you spell Dewhurst? / D E W H U R S T - how do you spell it?). And Dewhirst in Foggy's second stint. Dewhirst looks too posh for the character, in my opinion.

Easier, too.
