Thank you Chuffer! I was away a few days and this was lovely to come back to! I have to say I really thought Lennie was a great character and think this and Swan Man From Ilky are great episodes. Fabulous photos as always, wonderful script transcription, you are a marvel at this.

I think it's sort of a social status type of thing. There is only one of these luscious, more expensive treats, and everyone is watching to see who will rate themselves deserving. It's like the line in Red Dwarf about being down to one of those little mints they put on the pillows in hotels, and...

As you said, Full Steam Behind was the actor's favorite, but I would pick Flower Power Cut for Clegg and In the Service of Humanity for Foggy.

Well, I have seen it now, A huge thanks for the upload, but sadly I am no more charitable towards it than before. I believe the real issue here is it's been a thin couple years with Covid, a little boost in the tourism department now that things have lightened up a bit would not go amiss. Nick...

Thank You!!

Glad to meet you Connor! We're happy you are here! We will look forward to hearing when you get answers to your letters. In the meantime, you could tell us about your favorite parts of the show or write a new story about the characters for us to read. Clegg is my favorite too, and by the way...

Harsh as it sounds, Gothic has a point. We have to be realistic. And while we can't expect the reverence we may feel about it, accuracy and respectful regard would be nice. The article Onslow cited has two companion articles, one about Kathy Staff, and one about Peter Sallis. I have not read the...

I'm working on this too, to the best as I can find so far My5 is not available in the USA. I think they might eventually have it on YouTube, but it's not easy to tell.

I am almost certain Auntie Wainright said it concerning Smiler and or Tom, but I can't place the episode.

Is there any chance this will be available to view in America?

How sad, what a terrible disappointment for you. I'm glad the play was enjoyable anyway. Your efforts to report back to the rest of us are appreciated.

As always, a fabulous job Chuffer! What tremendous dedication you must have! I really appreciate the then and now photos side by side. Now I shall have to rewatch the episode and look for the photo locations. Moodyblue is right, you make it all come alive again. It's not just in the past, it's...

Thanks everyone who posted clips, I have long been curious about this show. Saeed Jaffrey was a wonderful actor; I'll never forget him as Billy Fish in The Man Who Would be King. Obviously using ethnic actors is preferable and adds greatly to the authenticity of a movie or anything meant to be...

Does anyone think there will be a chance this program will be accessible at any time in the U.S.? Perhaps on Britbox, as I am unfortunately living out of range of a local PBS channel (providing they show it here). I notice that the advertisement for the special lists Crispian Sallis as being...

Take care Terry, I'm sure all will be well.

Thank you as always Chuffer, it's like having a personal tour of Summer Wine Land. I really appreciate the then and now photographs accompanied by transcribed dialogue from the scenes. It must take you an age to get it all put together, but it really is a joy to read.

All Mod Conned is probably my favorite episode. There are all sorts of things scribbled on the walls in the train station waiting room where Foggy interferes with the gentlemen's newspapers. Wouldn't it be neat if the members of the cast had been allowed to scribble on the walls to make it look...

What wonderful pictures! Thank you for sharing them, and with such exact references! There is something comforting in knowing these places, seemingly ordinary to most who pass them, are still there.

Thank you for posting these pictures! I'd love to see that movie but it's hard to find here. I see what you mean as far as looks! Honestly though, I doubt it's a role he would have taken. There is an interview Peter did with Peter Levy, I think Captain posted it some time back, and Peter gave...

Does anyone know when LOTSW first aired in America? Or first episode aired there? I'm just curious. I expect there will be more than one answer because although PBS buys the rights to air programs, the individual affiliates may or may not choose to use them. For me, in San Antonio at the time, I...
