I am currently trying to write a script for a video due out in about two weeks. I'm not usually this near publishing when I'm still writing and it's given me neckache. I'm trying to whittle down 40 minutes worth of stuff in to about 20 minutes. I don't deliberately give myself problems!

Sorry Graham, that bench is near Acre Lane, the "campsite" is Acres Lane, about a mile and-a-half away as the crow flies - much further by road.

He's not just a drunk, but a publican too! The episode you referred to is S28 'The Crowcroft Challenge' - Tony Barton steals their car having previously been landlord in S16 'The Most Powerful Eyeballs in West Yorkshire'. He returned as a drunk in S29 in 'A Short Introduction to Cooper's Rules'.

Thank you for the 0.3p per view!!

I report a lot of those on YouTube - however, as you can't add a comment to sat why the video is a scam (etc) they do nothing cos it "looks" legitimate... There is one video thumbnail for a "how they died - then and now" type video showing well known actor on side and a person in a hospital bed...

I think "older person" is the preferred term! ;)

I'd heard that one before...

I think as we all spend so much time on the computer, that's their way of getting attention. I know Peter's cat will sleep on the keyboard.

I'm staggered at the apparent popularity of last weeks video: The UK’s Forgotten Sitcoms (1977 to 1986). It had just under 9,000 views in 7 days. For context, some of my Summer Wine Decanted videos from about 2 years ago still only have 4,000-5,000 views! My typical count for 7 days is 1,500 to...

We have two cats and as any cat person will know they like to have a special place to sleep. Ours have a favourite for a while then change. Nova, black and white "tuxedo" moggy, is currently asleep on an old duvet on top of my wardrobe. Ruby, multi-coloured "calico" moggy, usually sleeps on my...

No, you're not going to get me involved. Nooo....

I suspect that as she didn't have to speak it wasn't worth having her on location, it's probably one of the crew.

Compo had a varied background. It was entirely plausible that his offspring would move away while still exhibiting his characteristics, generally bone idle. It would just have made more sense for Tom et al to arrive for one series, exactly as happened, but then drift off without necessarily...

I stopped video editing to watch the first episode properly; on the sofa with a cuppa. I think that episode gets better with every viewing.
