Wesley and Alvin were one-off characters who later became regulars. Are there any more?

There's also an earlier episode of SW with a secondhand shop where the shopkeeper sells people things they don't want. Clegg ends up buying an old metal detector.

Laurel & Hardy, Last of the Summer Wine, Benidorm. If I could have more than 3 would also include One Foot in the Grave, Porridge and Bottom.

Used to enjoy Tales of the Unexpected. My favourite episode is Royal Jelly.

I'm also listening out in case Mrs WM starts levitating from the bed and saying "The sow is mine" ☺

It's pretty good with a bit of light drama and humour - a typical Sunday evening programme.

Here in Lincs near Skegness there was a thin dusting of snow and it was very windy yesterday. No trees down near us but part of the plastic fascia at one end of the roof came loose.

Mrs WM thinks it could be a bird in the chimney which sounds like it's in the loft. We're hoping to get the chimney capped next year because when it's windy it makes loads of noise down the vent (the house doesn't have a fireplace). We know that some small birds nest in the gable end of the...

We keep hearing scratching noises in the loft but whenever I go up there's no signs of birds or rodents. Because I read The Exorcist years ago and the first signs of something happening is sounds in the attic it freaks me out every time I go up in our loft!

But he had an excuse with it being hot in that helmet ☺

This popped up on my YT feed recently and it's fascinating to see times gone by so long ago:

Yes, I checked and it was Gemma Whelan. TBH I tend to find most TV dramas boring (ironic since they're not supposed to be!) but on the occasions I looked up from my tablet while Mrs WM was watching this it was mainly Whelan doing the breathy acting. I also noticed that Emmett Scanlan was in it...

What's your name? Jasper Carrott Ah, a comedian Yes, how did you know?!

We've been watching the TV series Kingdom on DVD and there's an episode with Peter Sallis, and another Summer Winer June Whitfield. It was good to see him in a different role and it's a shame he didn't get more TV work.

My wife watches a lot of TV dramas and I've noticed that some actors have a breathy style of talking as though they're slightly out of breath. Can't work out if this is deliberate or just poor acting. Mrs WM is currently watching The Tower that she recorded and an actor on it who is lauded in...

In some of the PitS series they used a blue office building in Bracknell as the exterior of the police station. I worked there at the time and remember seeing them setting up to film when I arrived at the car park in the morning.

A bit of trivia about this show is that Derren Litten who plays a policeman in later series was the creator and main writer of Benidorm.

Drama channel are showing Pie in the Sky. It's nominally a crime drama but is easy watching as the detective is also involved in a restaurant.

There's also the question of whether we have enough power generation to cope with the increased electric demand.

Been there twice and it is a fascinating place, plus there's other things to see while you're in North Wales.
