Nora was such a creature of habit, you know: "Tuesdays you bake", my little flight of fantasy suggested that if there were steps, Nora would have scrubbed them whether they needed it or not. Here's another one: In the episode 'Afterthoughts of a Coop Manager', Alvin explained to Marina that...

Captain Clutterbuck, you're right! I suppose you could say the same for Seymour, who left to assume a teaching post which would require him to fill in for Headmaster. To his chagrin, he could no longer whip small boys.

Thank you Barrychuckle and all who commented. Tangentially, I have to say that the way the writer retired Nora to Australia to care for her sister was an elegant way of keeping Nora in the show when she unfortunately could never return. She was a prime mover in the show and could not just...

In the episode 'Is Jeremy Quite Safe?', The Hon. Jeremy Dwyer-Brown talks about the jet setters playground in the Riviera, including Monaco and Nice. That is my submission. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that every time Nora and Ivy talk about Mallorca, in several episodes, they...

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch it here. Enjoy!!

Maltrab, I doubt your channel 5 is the same as mine. A documentary is available on you tube entitled 'Last of the summer wine 2498 30 years of last of the summer wine' The video quality is poor, but there is no advertising. To those who can get your channel 5, Happy Watching !:)

I get a real kick out of Maggie Ollerenshaw. She is a very physical actress, not afraid to be wrestled with, thrown off a wall or to dope slap two PCs with her handbag AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD!!! I also believe, to my delight, that she is the ONLY guest actress to climb on a bicycle in the entire...

The line "the superiority of British bicycles" was used twice in the series, by both Blamire and Seymour. It was probably a reflection of the Writers own feelings. I love bicycles myself, and they were part of my attraction to the show. Bicycles facilitated animation in the outdoor shoots...

Mustn't forget the song and dance Compo does to lure Nora away from the house, so the trio can help Wally escape in 'Set the People Free'. Can anyone tell me the actual song that was based on? I think it has something to do with a poem about a spider and a fly. In 'Downhill Racer', Compo...
