It was explained to me that it was an was a VERY popular advertising saying at that time. For a bread company I believe. I had initially thought that it was a mistake made by an extra but I was wrong.

Not so much a phrase but when Compo asks Clegg something along the lines of "Thou were never a great lover, were thee Norm?" Clegg gets this nice big smile on his face and says "Well, there was this Meccano set... " I may have said it incorrectly but the jist of it is the scene really shows what...

If you get a chance to read or listen to Peter's autobiography, Fading In The Limelight there is a funny story in there about him, Bill Owen and Micheal Bates enjoying a few glasses of vodka during lunch while filming the Series Pilot.

Not at this time. I used to use Demonoid as they were always good about having Summer Wine material but they're gone too. I think after a month or so, places will show up to fill in the void. It will just take some extra googling.

Re: Series 25 & 26 DVD on the Way? I enjoyed her in Rosemary and Thyme. Ms. Kendall has aged quite well IMO.

Sad to say that as of September 1, the torrent section of TheBox.bz has been retired. The rest of the site will follow suit soon.

In "Who Made A Bit of a Splash in Wales Then?" Clegg and Compo both end up in the pond at the end trying to chase down Foggy's wheelchair. In "Getting on Sidney's Wire" Foggy ends up splashing in the current while looking for things of interest for the local river board.

I enjoy DCI Banks quite a bit. It's being shown on KCET, a non PBS independent station here in Los Angeles. KCET also airs Doc Martin but that is about it at the moment when it comes to lighthearted programming. On the two local PBS stations, It seems that the Brit Sitcoms have disappeared for...

Not a comedy but The Way To The Stars (Johnny in the Clouds), which Bill Owen was in also is a very good movie. Michael Redgrave and John Mills are first rate. Enjoyed The Vicar of Dibley very much when I watched that series a few years back. It is very adult though, so if a bit of racy humor...

Famous British comedians. Dodd was awarded an OBE, just like Peter Sallis. Being American, I'm not overly familiar with their work.

James Casey and Eli Woods. Real life cousins who had done comedy shows together for years from what I have read. Among other things, James is said to have discovered Les Dawson and Ken Dodd while he was a producer for BCC Radio.

I think Foggy says Simmonite right when he gets off the bus in the very first episode he's featured in. I'm hard pressed to remember him ever saying Compo though.

Watching the first episodes with Brian, back when the actors did their own stunts for the most part, he seemed fine without it. I think the stick was meant to represent him as thinking of himself as a more refined person (even if it was only in his mind). The way gentlemen from the 1800s always...

Seems nice enough..but I think they're more attractive when they've got all their fur. Just kidding! Congrats to the family. :D

"Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts" has its moments when Clegg speaks about his late wife.

That's always been my interpretation of it also.

Serenade for Tight Jeans and Metal Detector?

I've always liked the scene where Sam has them stop the van and explains where he wants his ashes scattered very. A man in acceptance of his mortality and handling it with grace and charm.

Got it. Thanks.
