You're all too modest as I've seen how much you know about the series, but I really like the idea of Foggy and/or Howard appearing with their chosen subjects.

That's high quality loo paper!

Can someone (I know there are plenty of experts out there ) let me know please if Series 1 was filmed in 1972 and shown in 1973 and so on? Looking at the episodes shown this week on Gold, including Compo's last appearance in the episode about the Morris Minor the episodes are dated as 2000...

Thanks Charlie for the info.

Thanks Marianna. I thought I hadn't missed a first meeting of the two. More of an assumed relationship.

Can someone please tell me when Howard and Marina first became an 'item'? I've seen some early episodes where Pearl has heard about them but I'm not sure when they first met up and how they met. Not sure if there's a single episode that shows this or was it a more gradual thing.

Yes that's what I imagined from the scenes I've seen that it was quite rural.

Of course it's not really important to know these things - just interesting. As someone who hasn't visited the area yet I depend on others who have to fill in the gaps for me. If I can visit the area myself then I won't need to ask these things. But in my imagination I didn't see the area I...

Thank you all for your replies. You have such a wonderful combined knowledge of the area. I just didn't imagine the back of Nora's house facing a busy main road with traffic lights. Adding to the toilet issue it was very common here, too, to have outside toilets and yes newspaper cut up into...

Can someone please tell me during this episode Compo is on top of Wesley's vehicle when he drives off. Due to the volume of Wesley's radio he can't hear Compo shouting to him and as they ride around the town they stop, I think, at traffic lights and Compo sees Nora undressed in an upstairs...

Just heard from Sky News that the wonderful June Whitfield (Nellie) has died. So many wonderful memories of a long and illustrious career.

Thanks Captain. Useful to know. Didn't realise this happened so frequently. It seems so disjointed.

Thank you for finding out. I was going to ask if anyone knew the e-mail address of Gold TV to write to them but now I know. Much appreciated. I still find it odd that they started to re-run the series from the very start and then cut it off shortly afterwards!

Thanks for checking it out for me. So disappointing as it's become part of my morning ritual since retiring. Good way to start your day! And as you said Terry it probably keeps their ratings up. But they had only recently started a re-run from the first episode and last week was on something...

Yes I do watch Drama as well as. I was just surprised that they stopped showing them without any notice as far as I remember. I agree we have been lucky to have been able to watch them so long.

Thank you all for your replies. I also thought it could be an insect but it seems the secret will remain just that!

Anyone else notice that there were no LOTSW episodes shown today on Gold? They were showing 3 each morning and I think 2 in the afternoon up until Friday. Not sure why but they've stopped as of today. Checked for tomorrow and they're not on so it's not a one-off.

Can anyone tell me or give a guess as to what was in Compo's infamous matchbox that was so awful? I've never seen it discussed- maybe I've missed it if it has been mentioned, so apologies if it's been raised before here on the forum, but it intrigues me every time I see it- and the mind boggles...

Yes it could be. I thought it may be a plaque about the house being used on LOTSW as a type of tourist info, but that would have been too obvious at that stage as these type of plaques are usually placed after and not during the area being used for filming.

Thanks Brian. I was watching an episode the other day and the plaque wasn't there so I'm glad you've seen it too as I was starting to think I'd mixed up locations as the pathway outside Nora's seems to have changed over the years or am I imagining it?
