There was PC Cooper and Walsh's Ford Escort Panda car. There had to be more than one, you couldn't keep crashing the same one over and over. I enjoyed the way the parking ticket and stolen wing mirror were both on Walsh's side of the car! I was pleased to see Ken Kitson's picture in the 50th...

I suspect that the inspiration for the episode Loxley Lozenge was the opportunistic barn find of a decrepit chassis by the production team, coupled with the Writer spotting a red XKE convertible. The XKE body, with the top down, resembles a Lozenge. I know, I had one (Series II, no glass...

There is a motorhead forum that took an interest in the Loxley Lozenge: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=140&t=1170896 If you read through it, the forum considered and ruled out a number of vehicles, based on observations of mechanical and suspension features of the Loxley...

I remember Howard in 3 different vans. There was a blue one (probably a Ford) that he drove into Dream Acres, which was used to transport a donkey. There was a white Transit type van which Wesley was doing up into a grade B rolling shack wagon for Howard, used in 'Nowhere Particular'. Luther...

Every bit as much as his Loxley Lozenge!

Auntie's Austin delivery vehicle with plenty of room in the back, an estate vehicle, complete with flower vase, that should have come with 20 acres and a lake. "Goodbye handcart, hello creepy machine" said Tom, "It's very meeee" said Smiler :29: BTW, John Lennon had a similar 1956 Austin...

Our Frank's MG midget, used to tow the trio on a mangle, in 'Three Men and a Mangle'. Every one of these little cars I saw in the US had a rope holding the bonnet closed.

My all time favorite: Wesley's DIY VW dune buggy in 'Destiny and Six Bananas'

Compo's Limo in 'The last surviving Maurice Chevalier Impression' Same car as Smiler's football stadium, except in much better shape.

Smiler's football stadium (early 70s Chevrolet Caprice convertible)

How about the stray who wandered into camera view when Compo was walking on the wall in 'Who's made a Big Splash in Wales Then'.

'Uncle of the Bride' Wally's whippet was featured in several episodes, enough that it should have been credited as a cast member. Today, not only the dog but also the trainer would get credits. As it was, the lovely little creature didn't even have a name in the show. Wendy Richard's own dog...

'The New Mobile Trio', although I don't know how friendly Walter's bike riding beast was.

If ferrets count, that would be just about every Compo episode.

My last one for now: ".....with your smart sophisticated romantic approaches, a smack across the backside, a dig with your elbow. one boozy wink and that is supposed to throw my senses in a whirl???????" Ivy to Sid / 'Cheering up Gordon' I agree with Amos Hames, There are too many wonderful...

"Foggy is the old fashioned kind of idiot who wears his cock-ups on his sleeve." Norman Clegg / 'The Kink in Foggy's Niblick'

I thought Barbara Young made a great wife Florrie, for Lenny from the pickle factory. I am not from the UK and was not privy to the news of Kathy Staff's passing. My next exposure to Barbara Young was standing on Nora's front stoop, wearing a Bozo-the-clown colored bad wig (probably sourced...

I was disappointed Keith Clifford wasn’t in any of the 50 year reunion photographs from last year, that is presuming that he is in good health and still resides in Yorkshire. He must be in his 80s by now. I liked Billy Hardcastle, there was a certain honesty and sincerity that came across in...
