I would imagine Roy Clarke thought up names that would be in keeping with the area he is writing about.He also uses catchy,easily remembered names,possibly ones that he thinks will fit a particular character.He also uses names that sort of run of the tongue very naturally and easily,a bit like...

For cheese and onion flavour,i dont believe any can beat Tayto I have a thing at the moment for salt and vingar crinkle cuts. As to ready salted,i would probably vote for Walkers. Im also partial to cheese puffs and Quavers and i think it was Chuffer who mentioned potato sticks even though they...

An exceptionally talented and naturally funny man.You just dont get his caliber and quality these days.I can remember looking forward to thier show on a Saturday evening or Xmas special and enjoying every minute of them. They were a class double act and very much missed. Hector.

Im going for Eddy the Eagle,just to be different ;D. ;) Hector.

I would be in the complete waste of money camp,the money could have been spent on much better things.I have little interest in any sport so i may be seen as a tad biased. ;D Hector.

Long time since ive had a Lemon Curd sandwich,lovely stuff,especially the homemade variety ;D.I used to love Salad Cream sandwhiches as a boy but thats a looonnggg time ago now. Hector

I dont really like hot sandwiches unless they are the toasted type. Cold...Probably Ham or beef with cheese on crusty type bread.I also like a Tomato sandwich as long as the Tomato is firm and just turning red. Hector

The only times i can remember any mention of Foggy's family were, Cleggy, was reading the letter from Blamire in, The Man from Oswestry and they had either died or moved away leaving him the house in Arnold Cresent.Then there was the uncle who left him the egg decorating business in Bridlington...

That looks very like the rocks that Seymour,Cleggy and Compo are standing on in Wind Power.Could be wrong though. Hector.

We also use the term,"Fish Supper" for Fish and Chips over here.I bought my parents a single fish each on Thursday evening and it totalled £6.80.In fairness the fish were quite large and not the tiny pieces we had become used to over the years. Hector.

I was watching, A bicycle made for three today and a few wartime comments cropped up about Compo in Aldershot."Dying a lot in Aldershot were they"?,asked Clegg which i think implies that Compo never got any further than Aldershot. Cleggy also quipped,"Ah yes,but you knew him in wartime,he never...

I would tend to agree that the Dunkirk storyline was done just for that particular episode.I watched an episode the other day and Compo mentions about he and his mate deserting.(I think he mentions deserting a few times throughout the series but i could be wrong)His mate had to get home as he...

Have to agree with previous comments about that bloody awful go compare,Meerkats,lawyers,insurance,etc,etc.Occasionally we do see the odd funny one but they are as rare as Hens teeth ;D Hector

Funnily enough,i watched this episode just yesterday and still think its as funny as ever. ;D Hector.

What a silly decision.Wasnt she often referred to as one of our national treasures,if anyone deserves a blue plaque, she does.! I never really warmed to "Edie" but i still think Thora Hird was one of the finest actresses to come out of this country whether in a straight role or comedy,she was...

Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts The New Mobile Trio The Changing Face of Rural Blamire I really like them all except Spring Fever,A Quiet Drink and Northern Flying Cirus.Although i do watch these episodes from time to time,they just dont seem quite as good as the others. Hector.

I have always considered that Bobby Ball would make a good Compo style character and possibly Timothy Spall or Robert Daws as a Cleggy type.I would like to see Russ Abbot given another chance and i think Alun Armstrong is another good choice. My heart would sink like a stone to see the likes of...

I think i read in A Vines book that it was decided very early on to cut out the smoking and the very mild swearing as they wanted to appeal to a younger and also, a family type audience.I dont think we see either after the end of the second series but i might be wrong. Hector

Welocme Brian,hope you enjoy your stay here amongst a very friendly crowd. Hector.

The one i enjoyed the most although not necessarilay the most bizarre was the UEV. ;D Hector.
