Many, many, years ago, Bill Owen appeared on a Saturday morning show called 'The Multi Coloured Swap Shop'. He was a guest of Noel Edmunds. He was wearing a sweater with Holmfirth written across it. That was the first time that I had ever heard of the town.

The jury is still out in our house about Pat and Cabbage.

I did a quiz that Alan Bell set for The Appreciation Society. One question was, 'name Gordon Wharmby's first appearance in Last of the Summer Wine'. The answer was 'man on bus' in the episode Forked Lightening. You need to watch really closely. I think it comes after they try to get on the bus...

I think that because Roy Clarke was invited to write about old men originally he may have thought that too many children would complicate things. If you remember the first few series had far less characters. It wasn't until Uncle of the Bride that we had any regular young people.

Good one George. Slightly different, but I have just moved into the spare room and into the single bed which it holds. Himself is still in the main bedroom and in a double bed. I said the the only worry was the if our friend came to stay she and I would need to toss as to which of us would move...

Thank you for that tip, Terry.

And was it her who used to say that it was 'being so cheerful that kept her going'.

Mrs Mopp?

I just found out about it, and was horrified.

Exaxtly, Susan, my brother-in-law collected the meds for himself, me, and the husband. He thought about taking a wheel barrow!! If we had to pay we could never afford it.

I never understand why people hate me because I come from Surrey. I'm nice, really I am. Hey Ho!

Many many years ago, Peter Sallis was on Breakfast TV. He was asked if he ever ad-libbed. He replied that you just didn't dare! I do know from other interviews that, Roy Clarke, is very jealous of his writing and won't accept anyone else writing about 'his' characters.

If you look hard, Entwhistle was Clegg, in a different skin.
