Yes Barmpot, it made the comment on some tacky TV quiz show that he hosted around the time - I cannot remember the title, shows how good it was - but when he touched on Bill's passing he rubbed his hands and said "Oh well, One dead, two to go" which I found nauseating, he has got away with far...

A lovely article, well thought out and a fitting tribute, so different from some of the childish vitriol coming from other 'writers'.

My thoughts exactly.

Sorry, but I cannot agree. It's still a good show and better than the rubbish that the BBC pumps our money into. Russ Abbott, Burt Kwouk and Brian Murphy have brought a new freshness about it, and despite the fact that some people will compare them to Compo, Cleggy and Foggy, they have given...

Excellent letter and I hope it hits home. Having said that, I have been unfortunate enough to meet several journalists and they have all come across as muck-raking, cynical, ignorant pieces of garbage and that latest 'article' did nothing to change my mind about them.

I have emailed him and told him so, he's a pig-ignorant clown.

The Only Diesel Saxaphone In Captivity is one of my favourite ever episodes, particularly when Compo and Gotee get stuck up the tree :D

I have to say that this was not one of my favourite series, although I did find Captain Clutterbuck - for Ron Moody's performance - and Brushes at Dawn were the two stand out ones for me.

My name is Stuart. I was born in Leeds but now live in Bradford - and have done for the last 20 years. I worked as a painter and decorator up to 12 years ago but contracted osteo arthritis in my ankle through an old fracture from playing football and have to give up so I took it upon myself to...

The HD cahnnel shows , for the main , current programmes which are top of their ratings. The One Show is a daily magazine type half hour show that is just a vehicle for celebrities to peddle out yheir latest book, movie, whatever, it's in keeping with what is now a sickness from which the...

In total agreement, as to Ross, that Cretin should have been axed a long time ago, I have still never forgiven him for his sick comments regarding the passing of Bill Owen, for which he was never he slapped on the wrist, maybe when he goes to America - as is rumoured - he just might open his...

Which, in my opinion, shows what a bunch of lying, two faced, hypocritical clowns these contollers are.

I think you misspelt 'Fools' ;). But been serious for a moment I don't the BBC will even entertain the idea of a special. They have had no decent comedy for a long time now, the station is now more like some cheap and tacky celebrity magazine you see on supermarket shelves, amybe the licence...

Totally agree. I too would love a meet up, I am only a couple of hours away by bus. It would be nice to meet up with other like minded fans.

I second that. The BBC is now utter garbage.

One of the main problems is that the BBC is now run by blinkered idiots who are only interested in competing with the ITV for viewing figures. Reality TV is the only thing they seem to be intersted in making and I now have my own belief that the channel is one of the shoddiest in the media. I...

Good email Terry and covers all the bases, including the remark regarding the rubbish they waste money on. Let's hope it induces a positive response.

Ditto with Scruffy and Lindal

I agree, the character of Sid was priceless. I loved 'The Kink In Foggy's Niblick' when he finally managed to 'escape' with the boys. The scene in the Cafe between Sid and Ivy where he was making excuses still has me in stitiches. In fact for me all of the scenes between Sid and Ivy had me...

The BBC love comments like that. It's NOT the fact it is ending but they way they are ending it. Roy Clarke should have been allowed to end the series as he would have wanted and not with the contempt the BBC appear to have treat him, after all these years of penning so may wonderful episodes...
