Norah often has a little smile to herself about some action of Compo's, usually just after telling himoff for being daft.

I've managed, over a number of episodes, to plot the layout of Clegg's lounge (his 'new' one, not the original) and wondered if there are any shots of his bedroom? I know he was stood in it during Father of the Bride, but wasn't this his old house? Strange request, but it's to do with a model...

They were based on a series of books by Peter Tinniswood. As I recall, the plots of thebooks became quite weird. I see that another, earlier, series by Roy Clarke - The Growing Pains of PC Penrose, has been released on DVD. Some characters very similar to those found in LOSW. My order has gone in.

I'm new to the forum, and to following LOTSW generally, as I remember it from my youth and recently spent a week in the Yorkshire Dales with a trip to Holmfirth. I see from e-bay that there are a number of books on the series, and I'd like members suggestions on which to read. I'd particularly...
