    The Changing Face of Rural Blamire

    It could be. Here is Sylvia Stoker (the actress in the Woolen Mills episode) in a 1981 episode of Juliet Bravo compared to the character in the Changing Face of Rural Blamire.

    Last Episode

    I wrote a letter to Jane Freeman, Brian Wilde and Peter Sallis about 12 years ago. I just wanted them to know how much I loved the show. My in-laws (God rest their souls) were living with me at the time and they really enjoyed watching it every Friday night with me. I was really surprised when...

    FWIW - bunch of SW on TheBox.bz

    I've got 1 through 22 on DVD now. The pilot is the only downloaded episode I have kept throughout. I've actually downloaded it a few times, trying to get the best quality. I have systematically got rid of my other downloads as I replaced them with the DVDs. I've got the two First of the Summer...

    musings about Edie Pegden

    I'm sure you're right about age being a big part of it. I thought Thora was great in the earlier series too. On the other hand, I thought that Frank Thornton was fantastic (as an actor) all the way til the end of the show's run in spite of his advanced years. I wasn't a big fan of the Truly era...

    Yes, with him it was constant. I don't even watch episodes he's featured in anymore.

    musings about Edie Pegden

    I know it's probably sacrilege but sometimes I felt that Thora Hird had a tendency to over act when playing Edie. The majority of the time, she was great but sometimes, her performance just felt a little bit over the top. Norman Wisdom was another one I felt that way towards.

    the trio hanging out in abandoned buildings

    The Waist Land. I remember Foggy and the others eating lunch in a barn when the people from the fat farm come out of the shadows. Not sure if it was abandoned though.

    Eva's Back In Town -- Holmfirth!!

    The name of episode six of series twenty nine of Last Of The Summer Wine. I just copied and pasted that from Goggle as I hadn't a clue initially. I thought they were talking about another sit-com at first. :D

    Mistakes

    Great catch! That was from "Mending Stuart's Leg." The actor's name was Roy Sampson and from looking at IMDB, he seems to have had a nice TV career up to 2011.

    A bit cringeworthy?

    I think the earlier episodes hit a warm spot for me because they felt a bit more true to life. Living in the States, The barber shops in the early 70s were always full of old smokers killing time, telling tales. I remember being sent to the five and dime to go buy penny candy on more than one...
