Actually if you paid attention, you might notice that Cleggy was much fonder of the ferrets than Compo.

Donkeys -- Not exactly pets but key story line elements 1. The trio was taking a break from attempting to catch a donkey when they came upon Howard and Marina doing the tango. This was the first time that we see them. 2. The trio was in a corral futilely attempting to catch some donkeys so they...

I think that the chemistry of Robert Fyfe, Julliet Kaplan, and Jean Fergusson was so good that Roy Clarke just had to put them in the show.

Well, it was always much easier to feature Clegg's and Howard's houses after they "moved" as it was much easier to film. They could do much more such as putting a ladder up to the window, vehicles arriving and departing, larger groups of people, etc.

On Perry Mason, there was The Case of the Violent Vest in which a really loud vest (waistcoat) was the crux of the episode. On many other episodes one can spot the very same vest being worn with no one the wiser.

Newspaper reader for a clipping service. I know because I was one. This was a pre-Google endeavor.

It took me a while to figure out why Nora and Wally seemed so familiar and then it hit me. They reminded me of my mother and father. Yes, my mother was tall and forthright, and my father was short and shall we say, sometimes yielded to my mother's wishes. Yep, Nora and Wally were very familiar.

He was also on an episode of Inspector Lewis. As a note, Paul Glasner who played Starsky was in the middle of a horrible tragedy in real life. That was when AIDS was first besetting this country, and nobody knew what it was. His wife and son sadly contracted this disease and did not survive.

Hope the water goes down soon!

Well, Gordon was needed to drive the van to Scarborough and to provide someone that Compo could teach the facts of life to. And then there was the wedding. But having a normal couple would not have worked as there was no quirkiness. But who played Gordon? Why it's Philip Jackson who, later on...

I used to watch Bargain Hunt. I believe there was one episode where a lady had several very beautiful and authentic micro-mosaics, which were NOT CHEAP and went for beaucoup pounds.

There are two or three of these shows on WETA UK (US) and they are not really remarkable with bids on household treasures, restoration of household treasures and auction, etc. The auction usually consists of the auctioneer, 20 or so people in attendance, and of course, a computer link for those...

1. On Open All Hours, there is a piece of furniture, a cabinet in the kitchen. The same cabinet also appeared in Compo's living room. 2. In Clegg's first house, there are brief glimpses of a table with a plant on it in front of a window. It brings back memories of my childhood house in which...

We actually celebrate Christmas twice, once on Christmas Day with my sister and family; then on New Year's Day with more family in a restaurant. Best wishes to all in advance.

Yes, The Washington Post is still alive and well; BUT many beloved and treasured features have been axed. So, the paper is very gradually being turned into a different newspaper; one that is increasingly becoming unrecognizable. These features that are being lost include local human interest...

Among other items of note, York is known for chocolate. And of course, Lancaster is not too far away with quite a different reputation. And over here, across the pond, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania there is the town of Lancaster with an interesting reputation, and not too far away is the...

Unfortunately, administrative assistants often are "volunteered" to clean out the office refrigerator or to do other "tasks" that fall under the "other duties as required" that are needed to support the office. And yes, this admin team person did not have to clean the cup, but she obviously so...

I think that it's interesting that Smiler shares the pushing of the cart with Tom. They are both slogging it out at the back of the cart. And then let's contrast that with Compo, who ended up, not pushing it, but riding on top of a pile of furniture, like a king returning from a successful battle.

No matter how many scrapes Eli gets into, he never gets seriously injured.

The tractors were a nice touch!
