So pleased for June Whitfield! Does anyone remembet her in an advert whete she was entertaining guests with what looked like a home made pie (chicken I think) but it was really a Bird"s Eye frozen pie? And remembet her in the Carry On film about the seaside beauty pagent. I can't remember the...

What about the girls' comics? I avidly read Bunty and Judy and in my teens all the girls loved Jackie which was the basis for a recent musical. The NME cane latet when we were older and 'cool'!

May I suggest a local plumber would not be of interest to the national press or population and there lies the difference. Like it or not the famous will always be of interest to the media and a large part of the population. It may be unfair but I can't see it changing and famous people know...

I agree with Don that it's Peter Sallis, the actor, we enjoy. His private life shouldn't be mixed up with his character Cleggy. That was a part he acted - his day job so to speak. People in the public eye will always receive attention from the media - it goes with the territory and I suggest...

I can't choose a favourite episode as I keep changing my mind about it! I've got favourite incidents from episodes but I must admit that I found Glenda and Barry's plots and attitudes got sillier as the series progressed. Glenda was frequently crying over Barry's alleged affairs...

Such a lovely photo of Cleggy. Just as we remember him.

Oh so sad to hear about Peter Sallis' death. So glad we are able to watch his character Cleggy on TV etc. He can now join Compo, Foggy, Truly et al in the other Summer Wine country. RIP Cleggy. X

I agree with Andrew D about picking a favourite episode. I keep changing my mind after viewing some more episodes. I have to admit a soft spot for Truly as he differed from Foggy and Seymour in that he had a more 'wicked' sense of humour to the other two. He loved setting Howard up and I did...

Yes he did fit in well with the other two amigos. It must take time to 'bed in' a completely new character and sad that he wasn't able to return for specials as I'm sure that would have made for good viewing. By the way I was wondering (and assuming) they did keep props/items from the series -...

Glad you told me about the pun. I honestly hadn't noticed it!

Thanks all for letting me know. I agree Marianna that it wasn't long enough. As RickAns said his character grew on you. And it was believable that he was Edie's brother. She was ever so proud of 'our Seymour'!

Thanks for your replies. Do you know over what period of time that would been in terms of years? It seemed such a short time but then I was watching 2 episodes at least a day on the Gold channel.

Can anyone tell me please how many series/years was the character of Seymour in the series? I'm currently watching the episode 'Return of the warrior' where Seymour leaves and it seems no time since Gold showed his first episode.

Yes I forgot that he played the inspector in Poirot. I think he was also in a short-lived comedy a while ago about people who kept allotments. Does anybody remember that programme?

Wow Dick that was quick. He looks really young in that photo.

It sounds very similar to how it was and still is in this part of the world. Thanks for letting me know Marianna.

Yes I'm sure you're right. I was quite literally a child - honest! But I think my mother liked the series. Didn't he also play Dr Watson in a Sherlock Holmes series?

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query about Billy Hardcastle - a favourite of mine. Looking up Joe Gladwin on tinternet: it was the 30th anniversary of his death yesterday. Loved his deadpan sense of humour and his responses to Nora's nagging. I watched the episode last week on Gold...
