You're right. Such a dry sense of humour and the response from Granville is so quick.

I'm glad someone else has seen it! I've spotted it in quite a few episodes.

No this plaque is on the wall behind the first photo and id black on colour and it looks like gold writing on it. Could it be a type of street sign?

It's where Foggy is stuck up a tree looking for a Colorado beetle.

I just think Roy Clarke is a genius as are some of the other great British comedy writers. They are wordsmiths and often I laugh more at the dialogue than the storylines. The little one-liners remind me of our uniqueness. When Clegg says at the end of one episode (can't remember it's title)...

Can anyone advise if there's some kind of wall plaque at the side of Nora Batty's house where there's a path way that Compo and the boys use to get to his house? I can't seem to see it in early episodes but is face on to the camera when filming Nora brushing her front. It looks black with gold...

Can you tell me what channel it's pn please?

One of my all time favourite episodes.

Well done and thanks so much for the all the info you can provide on all things LOTSW for people like me.

Just made my donation. Thanks to all involved in keeping this going all this time.

I can't pick a favourite because as I said previously I keep changing my mind. But I've started to realise that a long running series like LOTSW provides younger people with a view on how we lived here 40 years ago and a reminder to older people of how things were. It's like a social...

Oh I've never seen that annual before. Do you know when it was published?

Not sure what a TV comic is.

Thanks Marianna for the link from his collaborator on Fading into the Limelight. It was interesting to read.

Just read Peter Sallis' obituary in the Guardian (on line). It makes interesting reading and seems quite informative. There are several references to quotes attributed to the actor himself. But perhaps the most accurate and up to date information is a letter sent in response to the obituary...

I temember having a comic in the mid 60's that was dedicated to Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds. I can't recall the name of the comic but I remember having a free ring with her insignia - the letter P stamped in pink on the front of it! I think I also had a toy version of her pink Rolls Royce...

Such lovely sentiments and memories you have of your parents and this lovely series.

Yes that must be the one Marianna as I thought I remembered her wearing a tiara. Many years ago that was.

Thanks very much for the info. I think in the one advert she wore a tiara - but I may be mistaken. I'll take a look at the link you sent. Thanks once again.

Oh well your geography lessons weren't so boring if they were interspersed with teenage angst! As the teacher said - far more interesting tham boring gepgraphy. One of you could have ended up as an agony aunt!
