Mrs. Featherstone was a gold digger. One thing gold diggers do is play two guys off against each other, putting them in competition. Normally it makes for a lucrative dating experience for the gold digger and gives the gold digger time to assess which of the two victims really has the most...

Wow, I never heard of cooling centers. As you say, cooling centers only work when they are open. In addition, they may not serve the purpose in a power outage if they don't have a back-up generator. I think the southern states, where heat stress is a frequent occurrence, are better equipped...

Glad to hear you are OK!!!!!

My apologies for misspelling the word jackass. I meant nothing derogatory toward Alan Starkey, who did a great job representing the characters Thorndyke and Biff Hemmingway. Actors put on the clothes they are handed to wear during a scene and recite the script as written, regardless of how...

He also gets a 'Jack *** of Savile Row Award' for wearing what appears to be some kind of helmet liner and glasses with a beaded lanyard!

A Gordon (Teddy Turner) quote: "I prefer to think of myself as a keen amateur idle beggar"

This is not a political statement: The Amazing retailer's distribution point in New York city Unionized about 3 or 4 years ago. The kind of hijinks you are describing are not uncommon when there is hate and discontent amongst the ranks. My latest amazing purchase was a 24000 Btu mini-split air...

In 1620, a small sailing ship called the Mayflower landed on the shores of Cape Cod (my home). The ship transported 102 British passengers (called Pilgrims) and a crew of 30, all trying to free themselves of tyranny, taxation without representation and gain freedom of religion.

Fahrvergnügen!

Priceless! We need the letter from Blamire to Clegg, introducing Foggy to the crew.

If we had a Utoxeter, we could form a power circle!

Now we know where the writer got the idea for knocking on windows with clothes props! Thank heavens this method wasn't used to awaken me. I would have been looking for graveyard shift work pretty quickly.

Thank you very much for this photo! I had no idea of the close proximity of the White Horse to the row houses which were filmed as residences of Hobbo, Cleg (:)), the Sibshaws, and Mavis. I can't help but wonder if this row house originally belonged to the mill itself. I figure it was a woolen...

I get a kick out of Peter Cellier, I have ever since 'Yes Prime Minister'. There is something about his smile, perhaps mischievous, that makes him shine. I don't know about sleazy, he acted like a Howard on steroids, but with a far less willing subject of his attention. The only two episodes...

I don't really have a favorite episode, but my favorite scene was where Onslow and Richard ended up outside the church, singing with the choir. They were both in tune and knew the hymn. It kind of warmed the cockles of my heart, Then Daisy showed up on a motorcycle with a toy boy borrowed from...

You will see familiar faces. Frank Middlemass is a regular as Geoffrey Palmer's Father, Mike Grady appears in one episode as a Herald and Frances Cox was spectacular in one episode as Mrs. Throp. Enjoy!

ATGB is a Mike Larby production, I believe, starring Dame Judy Dench and Geoffrey Palmer. I guess it would be classified as "gentle comedy". RIPBS would air it at 11:00 PM weeknights. You would turn the TV on, set the shut off timer, and let the lullaby begin.

Upstart Crow is a shakespearean spoof written by Ben Elton, very funny, geared for adults. It made it onto RIPBS prime time so apparently it made it through their censor's filters. Yes, we still have censorship here.

Save your money. Very few over here are going to recognize any of those characters, and if you explain it to anyone, they won't be able to assimilate the significance. If you want to stump 'em, go with "ETPHHM". I followed that number plate for weeks commuting to work before I figured it out.

For those of us fortunate to get Rhode Island PBS (WSBE), Britcom Tuesday begins at 7PM and starts with LOTSW, AYBS, Upstart Crow, Waiting for God, As Time Goes By, KUA and Doc Martin, episodes shown sequentially. At least, that is the current lineup. They have had others in the past. The only...
