Yes, I am watching the correct discs. I think Series 13 was a great series overall, but so far, series 14 is not doing much for me.

Have so far watched the first 2 episodes of Series 14, and must say, it's a pretty weak series so far, no way near the heights of the previous series.

The NZ dvd's are labeled the same as the uk ones. I'm talking about actual SERIES 14, the first one with film. Cover: Series 14 (labeled as 15 on the dvd's) seems to have the only distiction (of the complete FILM years) of being put to videotape after being shot completely on film. The...

I swear, when I get to their age, i'm gonna move to holmfirth, as by then, no one will probably remember LOTSW (this probably looking at the 2070's or 2080's, as im 16 now).

Just bought the latest set released in NZ (labeled Series 15 & 16) and it seems the've just used the broadcast tapes from back then for the dvd, so what we are seeing, are transfers of the 35mm film, onto a big reel of videotape. It's false 16:10 too, with no attempt to remove the small black...

I swear there was an episode where Auntie Wainwright had a junk yard, it was a foggy episode. Anyone know the one i'm talking about?

Series 13 is the one people are mentioning where the outdoor scenes look perfect etc, due to that whole series being done on Videotape. It's such a shame it when completlely to film the year later. I've always prefered the videotape for the inside shots, and 16mm Film for the outside shots...

I'm sure there are earlier episodes using blue screen. In later episodes, especially Series 31, blue or green screening was used to place Truly and Foggy outside. It looked horribly fake, Same with Howards dance outside Pearl's window, the bit where he appeared to be doing a can can thing in...

I know that the longest running comedy series (not sitcom) is The Benny Hill Show. Running in Various incarnations for 40 years.

Any chance of some blamire era comics?

Oooh, yes, i'd love to know that too. That episode really got me into summer wine, just the look of that area, and them just more or less walking around talking. I remember watching it on my computer, and i felt like i was actually there the first time viewing it. It was just so peacefull, and...

Sometime in Series 5 or 6 I believe. As he didn't wear it in Series 7 or afterwards.

I'm not entirely sure what this thread is about, but from the main road with the tarmac (or black gravel, whatever you wanna call it) is the one the trio walk down. They then either can walk down a path or road to the left, which is beside the stream. Or they can just walk slightly more to the...

What are your thoughts when Alan JW Bell too over from Sydney Lotterby and changed the camera angle of the cafe? It happened in Series 6 I believe that this first occoured. It also had the color change near the end of that series. Here's the original camera angle for Series 1 to 5: And the...

Series 8 was an interesting Series on the whole. It was the first without Sid, and also introduced quite a few characters that were their to the end (Howard, Pearl and Marina). I like Series 8 overall, but It just seems out of place, compared to the previous ones. It just has a different feel...

Many of the times, the recycled bits were done in different ways, and sometimes even funnier. The only one he redid which I don't like is the 1981 version of the "Lower Tidmash Fire Brigade", It was basically just a weak copy of the original 1970 version. But I can understand why he re-did it...

There's one studio scene where the kitchen is implied to be on the right, Can't remember the episode, but it was nora and wally in the kitchen, and i think wally was looking at nora's feet. The door out of the kitchen was right where that odd door beside the front door was.

Joe Melia from A Bicycle Made For Three appeared in the classic Peter Cook & Dudley More "Not Only But Also" sketch "Alan A'Dale': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDmv7b-NQEI Also Henry McGee appeared as we all know for 20 years in The Benny Hill Show. Kathy Staff appeared in 2 Benny Hill...

Alfred Hawthorne Hill, better know to us as "Benny" Hill, writer of over 58 Benny Hill Shows.

Are there any fans of Benny Hill?? And I mean the stuff before it became a playboy fest in the 80's with the awful Hill's Angels.
