I was going to start a "Yorkshire Beers" topic, such was my curiosity about what they drink there.

Great minds, captain clutterbuck, great minds! :16:

I take it that it was a left-handed person who coined the phrase, "The best thing since sliced bread.":16:

Of Funerals and Fish goes here (for completion's sake). I'll no doubt add a lot more detail on a rewatch! This review's practically blank! (S00 E00) Of Funerals and Fish Original Airdate: January 4, 1973 Compo, Clegg, and Blamire go around town, discussing life and death and watch their...

Right. That's why Mouse got up from the table.

I wonder if the omnipresence of the well-known US versions (All in the Family, Sanford & Son, Three's Company) on primetime and syndication of those established British sitcoms--which even used the rehashed scripts* as their Brit predecessors--made it unlikely that US viewers would ever get to...

Thanks to this thread, I jumped at the chance to pick up Series 28 and 30. They arrived over the weekend, and I couldn't resist watching a couple of episodes. Of course it's now back to my "serious" LotSW Series 2 watching, but it is relaxing to just watch and not take notes...that will come...

I took an instant liking to his Alvin character. His playful, teasing interaction with Nora Batty (and later Stella) is part of what interested me in LotSW's later series. It will be some time before I get to the "Alvin Era", but I'll be rewatching the episodes I've already seen in which he...

Couldn't let September 25 pass by without mentiong this. I just happened to learn it while searching for Alvin Smedley Summer Wine photos. I'd love to get that badge!

Spending every Saturday night with the characters from those programs was something my wife and I always looked forward to doing. I haven't watched The Vicar of Dibley in ages, but we regularly use David Horton's (Gary Waldhorn) "Moving on..." whenever we mockingly change the subject! Oh, and...

RE: Compo and Nora's behavior I don't see how Compo is any different here than in any of the countless subsequent episodes which open with him leering, grabbing, and otherwise drooling over the married Nora, something which the viewing public apparently found to be hilarious. Also, Nora Batty...

Whatever. I'm out of here.

"To each their own", indeed. We may as well be Cybermen if we're all going to have the same favorite episodes! I watch each episode 3 times before I write a review, and even then I change my opinions on things. I'm on the (five-bar) fence about bumping Rural Blamire to an 8, as my ratings and...
