Looks like a typical Lincolnshire rural cottage of the type I miss so much, I'm sure she'll be really happy once she's settled. Enjoy your DIY organisation.

Another of my hobbies is model railways, and I acquired these chaps at a recent exhibition. They come seperately, but combined together they remind me of a certain trio of reprobates. Hope you like them.

One show I always wished to be released on DVD was Michael Bentine's 'It's A Square World, with it's slightly anti-establishment bias and cast of then unknowns in support. Unfortunately Bentine fell out with the powers up top, and it is assumed the tapes were wiped. Only a couple of snippets...

There is a programme running on BBC1 in an afternoon slot called @The TV That made Me', with celebrities and public figures (Gyles Brandreth, Anne Widdicombe, Sandi Toksvig) chatting about the programmes of their childhood. A lovely bunch of nostalgia**. These days there are far too many...

I think it makes more sense if you drop a comma between 'oz' and 'thinking'.

Managed to slip this one in quickly. Sorry about the quality of the photo, I didn't get the lighting right.I'll do better next time.

I related to stories when he randomly shot arrows up in the sky not knowing what they would hit , we did that as kids having been bought bows and arrows from the world famous hoppings in Newcastle , but replacing the arrows with our own home made efforts with sharpened canes and cardboard...

If they don't 'sign in', does that mean the prayers have no effect?

My three pennorth, of the top of my head, as I'm not sure they'd all be around then - Compo - Wilfred Brambell Clegg - Arnold Ridley, Seconded Graham Stark 'Third Man' - Robin Bailey But you'll never better the originals.

There's a slight hiatus at the moment, as real life has got in the way. We have Aussie relatives in the country and a daughter's wedding in August, so life is a little hectic. I will be back eventually.

You Ask that of The Phantom?

I think you'll find that most watchers can remember the last episode of Blackadder goes forth, a marvellous way to end the series and an evocative reminder of the era in which it was set. Unfortunately I agree that very few series actually have satisfactory endings, perhaps because, at the time...

This is true, but I'd never seen the last two series before, so they came as a surprise.

I was checking my Sky TV planner for the week ahead, and see that the repeats on UK Gold are about to complete the series, though for some reason they list the last two episodes the wrong way round! However, on Friday they are starting again - from the pilot episode 'Of Funerals and Fish' - so...

This weeks offering is the last for a few weeks, as MrsJ and I, plus assorted relatives and friends, are off on a caravan trip round the Loire valley until June, so I won't have time to play. Having a vampire of a smaller size helps with the perspective. I'm not sure where he came from, as...

I remember reading that, when they filmed the final bar scene for 'Ice Cold In Alex' they used real lager, and after a few necessary retakes poor old John Mills was sloshed.

Thank you for these. I love the way the views have hardly changed.

This weeks offering is a little late, as we've been away in the caravan for the bank holiday. first outing this year and trial run with new car before gallivanting off to France for a couple of weeks at the end of the month. This one is the Cooper and Walsh scene, and I've made best use of the...

The room appeared again on 'Romance Isn't Dead, Just Incompetent' and it is fairly obvious now that it is Alvin's home. It has definitely had some extensive remodelling and decorating, totally unrecognisable from the grotty place Compo lived in.

For those of you who seem to like my photos, I came across a blog today that shows how amateur I am at this lark. If you Google The Little People Project you should find it, and be amazed at what can be done. He (she) has a brilliant imagination.
