    Gentle Comedies

    I have always wondered about that one where they were going to a hotel for a golfing vacation. The thing I was wondering about was at the hotel, the door to their room had three ravens on it.

    Smoking in summer Wine

    Often, the actors smoked (while acting) which functioned as a means of reliving tension. If you look carefully at a scene, sometimes the act of lighting up or puffing helps the actor get through a scene.

    Hi from a Damp Holmfirth

    Sometimes rain is good. Here in Virginia, there have been some minor forest fires and yes, I am hoping for a nice soaking rain. But, yes it's always great if this happens at night or in the early morning hours. Sometimes I watch HNK which shows global weather including the UK and so often...

    Who would you have dated/married

    My father learned to like cats after our house was surrounded by flood waters and he finally let the cat that we were "secretly" caring for, into the house. He always had suits but never seemed to purchase one. And he was never able to experience retirement.

    The Ladies Coffee Mornings

    When Mike Grady (Barry) had taken a break from the show, Glenda constantly talked about Barry during the Coffee Mornings. That way, they didn't have to write him out and eventually he quietly returned with a new hobby -- golf.

    Four legged friends

    That one where Barry and Glenda are dog sitting and the lovely setter runs off. And they spend most of their time calling the dog. And then . . . of course, Howard and Marina are smoked out.

    Actors in WWII

    He lost a finger during some WWII action and managed to mostly conceal that loss during the filming of Star Trek. There are only one or two scenes where the affected hand is seen.

    Favorite moment with the Policemen

    When Roy Clark was a cop, he probably spent much time imaging all the ways he could avoid making arrests, catching speeders, and enjoy a quiet and leisurely lunch. So, I enjoyed watching the two officers hang out on a far hill grilling their burgers while making an executive decision not to stop...

    Modern Tech

    Car Insurance

    My car insurance came up with a new policy. They no longer send out bills which means that you can no longer pay by check, instead they offer a number of other options.

    So that's why the Café looked slightly different season to season. It gradually went from seedy to a more modern décor.

    When I watched The Prisoner back in the '60's it gave me the hebbie jeebies, but I still watched it. I still get the hebbie jebbies when I even think about it.
