    who was fiercer,Nora or Ivy?

    I would be inclined to say Ivy as Nora showed her softer side more often towards Compo and Wally.She worried about him(Wally) and went looking for him if he was missing for too long,let him keep a Whippet and similar things like that.Ivy was still a very likeable character and the comments about...

    Anyone notice that Nora almost laughed

    I have noticed Jane Freeman(Ivy)having a few unscripted smiles,usually when she is giving poor Sid a hard time.Its nice to see that they are having fun and enjoying what they are doing. ;D Hector

    Pilot

    I suppose she could have been anyone really,from a neighbour to inlaws and so on.I suppose the only ones who really know are Roy himself and those involved with the show.It was also coupled with the comment Compo made to Nora about her husband Harold that got me thinking about possible other...

    Pilot

    I was watchinga little part of the pilot earlier and i noticed a girl coming out of Noras house to hang up some washing.Does anyone know who she was meant to be?.Possibly Nora was going to have a daughter in the show but Roy Clarke decided to go the route we all now know,just a thought. The...

    Was Thumpy-Dub an actual game or invention of Roy Clarke?

    Im sure i saw a programme some years ago and it featured an article which showed a long,greased pole laid over a river on which two contestants sat and gripped with thier legs.They then belted each other with either pillows or sacks filled with something(cant rem which now) and the one who...

    favourite Foggy solo scene

    Some really good ones already mentioned.One that stands out for me is in the episode,"Wheelies" and it seems that Foggy has actually got someone to lsten to his war tales.Of course,he goes completely over the top and gets carried away with the mock bayonet fighting using his walking stick.I...

    Andrew Vines book

    Unc, I dont believe anyone is critising Andrew Vines book or the information/facts therein but,just trying to get across that they were saddened and disappointed that, in reality,a few of the actors didnt get on so well as they portryed on screen.As far as im concerned,Andrew Vine did a great...

    Theme music used in the series

    I still think its part of the Dambusters march.The part we hear in Crums happens about 48secs into the "march". Hector

    Andrew Vines book

    Im afraid i have to agree with Minxie.I was really disappointed to learn about the back stage shennanigans,so to speak.The trio had such fantastic on screen chemistry and comradeship that i was convinced it had to be like that in reality to be able to pull it off on screen.I also got the...
