:D :D :D :D :D Like it George. Watch out for the PC brigade (all with rolling pins and curlers) ;)

I truth it's Roy Clarke's take on working class Northern women in general. They have always been seen as strong characters prepared to put up with no nonsense. I think he was probably comparing them with some women he may have remembered from his childhood.

That would be 'The Man Who Invented Yorkshire Funny stuff' - if that's right then you can take the credit ;D

We have seen them bring things out of the back on more than one occasion I recall Clegg wheeling out the wardrobe in 'How To Create A Monster' and of course the bouncy castle in 'Stop That Castle' so I think we can assume she has storage space somewhere at the rear of her shop.

My sentiments exactly. R.I.P. :'(. I still fume over the tasteless remarks made by that so called funny man (well he think he is) Graham Norton with regard to Robin's late brother Maurice when he lay dying. He still hasn't apologised and the BBC gave him a bigger contract >:(

I does not look like any of the six stations on the KWVR lines at all. I do remember reading about the location somewhere, but I think it was either in the now defunct SW fan club newsletter or on the SW website - which has been closed for some time.

:D :D :D :D Love the dialogue between Nora and Wally Nora: "Well, what are you? a man or a parrot? Wally: "Who's a clever boy then!

I think that is taking the programme far too seriously. It's a comedy, and some of the moments between Edie and Glenda are what gave the series its whimsical charm. They had some of the best dialogue at the coffee mornings, and I for one would not have wanted that to change.

Well that's a nice insult isn't it? When did I ever mention I was PLAYING with these. That is something I never did. They were models and nothing more.

The reason he left was to work on other projects and then returned after Michael Aldridge was forced to leave due to his own physical problems - he was suffering from a bad hip - and to care for his sick wife. He stayed until 1998 and then was reported to be suffering from shingles and had to...

my other classic (Peter Sellers did a wonderful impression of Sir Alec Guinness) Neddie(to Sellars) "Are you the man in black?" Sellars: "Actually I am Guinness, the man in the white suit, but on the way here I fell down a coal hole, this is my trusted secretary" (referring to Ray Ellington)...

Thanks George. I wonder if they were Roy Clarke's working titles?

One of my favourites ever. For instance Grytpype telling Neddie that the BBC can change people into anyone they like and Neddie looking so old and ill that Wilfred Pickles demanded him for his television programme ;D Just makes me amazed just how far seeing Spike Milligan was at times with the...

It's the first I have ever heard of it. Where did you see this?

There has never been any mention or connection to Auntie and the librarian - Roy Clarke has often used surnames for more than one character without them been related - or at least without mentioning it. Hemingway for instance, as in 'Biff Hemingway' and Smiler's name is Clem Hemingway but we do...

Then we have the yesterday channel showing BBC repeats, Dave shows them and then of course the pointless BBC's 3/4. I have a Goon episode titled '1984' all about the BBC - or as the Goons called it 'The Big Brother Corporation' "Big brother is watching YOU!" (Eccles) Oooooohh!

8:21, but he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun.

My other favourites used by Roy Clarke are Bickerdyke - used twice at least - and Gunnershaw. Both have a real Yorkshire ring about them.

Just sent you a PM Terry, count me in :)
