I think it was just par for the course for all the male characters to be hen-pecked by the female characters. You see the way Wally was bullied about by Nora and Sid by Ivy, and one just naturally assumes that was the way of things in Holmfirth. Besides, when Wally prompted Nora's wrath by...

Just curious to know if the railway in this episode is still in existence and operating, and is it the same railway where Foggy went to pick up his Union Jack flag in "The Flag And Further Snags"?

From what I understand, he didn't think much of Thora Hird, at least according to Andrew Vine's book.

The state of TV here in the US is not much better. One PBS station used to air British sitcoms 5 nights a week from the 7:30 to 8:00 PM time slot Mondays through Fridays, but they got rid of that a few years ago. Now, another station just does a 2-hour marathon on Saturday night and repeats it...

IF you find it, let me know as well. I would ultimately like the full orchestral score, or at least a piano/vocal/guitar arrangement to get the main melodies down.

It is now working on the 3rd week here without LOTSW on PBS. To say this is frustrating would be an understatement.

Please list as many as you can remember here, even if it was just one member of the trio or an ancillary character randomly kicking around a soccer ball.

What episode marked the last time he wore the scarf?

Don't you hate it when LOTSW gets interrupted by some pledge drive or some other programming special? This is the second week in a row that my local PBS station isn't airing LOTSW in favor of some special where a doctor or business advisor gives a lecture and then tries to sell books and DVD's...

Wasn't "street level" technically further down near the stream that ran past Nora's and Compo's houses?

Was this the episode where, everytime we saw Wesley's land rover, there was some sort of heavy metal tune blasting from the radio? Always thought it rather odd that Wesley would play that kind of music in his vehicle. I could've sworn him saying he had problems with the radio's tuner, although I...

I think it's probably due to the fact that Compo was such an important and pivotal character, and no other character carried as much weight as he did. So naturally, a big deal had to be made when Compo passed on. Not to diminish the other characters and their vital input to the show, but when...

Re: the link between LOTSW & Are You Being Served I thought Frank made both Capt. Peacock and Truly very believable characters. Even though Truly wasn't the whip-cracking taskmaster that Capt. Peacock was, he still had a slightly authoritative manner about him despite his even temperament...

the link between LOTSW & Are You Being Served I know Frank Thornton and Trevor Bannister carried over from AYBS to LOTSW, and I think Nicholas Smith has a bit part in an episode, but did any other AYBS actors make appearances on LOTSW?

Did his amorous advances ever extend to anyone else besides Nora and Ivy?

What do you think was his most bizarre invention? For me, it was the drill attached to the bicycle, with the self-propelled wheelbarrow coming in second. Do you think, like Foggy, he went into situations with the best of intentions, only to watch things to haywire? Also, I noticed he checked his...

The 4-DVD set I ordered from BBC America Shop has a nice selection of episodes from these years, but it is by no means complete. It doesn't have my favorite episode from that period, being "Ballad For Wind Instruments And Canoe". I wish the BBC would put out a comprehensive collection from this...

When I got this movie on DVD, it came in a 4-DVD set that also included episodes from the Blamire years.

I must say the webmaster did a good job revamping the site. When it played the full orchestral score of the LOTSW theme, it was a bittersweet thing to hear. Check it out for yourself at www.juliettekaplan.com. Does anyone know if other actors from the series have official websites of their own...

I know he mentioned he was married once, and there were times here and there when Marina took a liking to him, but was that pretty much it? Was he always nervous and hesitant around women and trying to avoid them? Also, regarding his former job as a lino salesman, did he just sell it, or did he...
