here's a screenshot from the episode that was on tonight (In Which Romance isn't Dead - Just Incompetant) showing the building. It is indeed the back of the Red Lion, you can check it out on Google Maps/street view

I don't mind the occasional recurring jokes, such as the Coffee Morning, but i do think that the second Foggy run featured too many of these recurring moments, in too many episodes. Add an appearance by Eli into the mix as well and there's another. If they'd just had 2 or 3 of each element in...

I think that's why i have such a downer on the second Foggy period. After a couple of series it became very repetitive. You'd start the episode with Compo irritating Nora, Foggy boring someone with a war story, and Howard knocking on Clegg's door and trying to get him involved with a scheme to...

to be fair to Andrew Vine, he's fairly even handed in his descriptions of the behind teh scenes relationships. He talks about how difficult Bill Owen could be, in particular how his belief that he was the main star of the show could rub others up the wrong way.

No doubt part of it is down to my love of Scarborough but I had to choose "boarding house caper". It's a very high quality serious though, none of the episodes are less than very good

Scarborough is and always has been one of my favourite places on the planet, I just love the place

Sad to hear of the death of Geoffrey Hughes. He was Onslow in Roy Clarkes Keeping Up Appearances, but was also well known for his regular roles on Coronation Street, Heartbeat and The Royle Family

I'm pretty sure it's the same viaduct that plays a part in "Three Men and a Mangle", when they drop the mangle on the police car

It's back up now

No, the one they're talking about was released by the Summer Wine Appreciation Society. It's this one on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00002MQVN/ I'd love a copy myself, or even download it (if some kind soul who has a copy could rip it to MP3 and post the files to one of the media...

I've just watched an episode of "Tales of the Unexpected" (Series 5 episode 6 "The Moles" from 1982) which was, for most of the episode, a three hander between Bill Owen, Fulton Mackay and Harry H Corbett. The way they worked together made me think how wonderful they'd have been on LotSW. Of...

Is it where Truly and Howard met Wanda at the beginning of "In Which Howard remembers where he left his Bicycle Pump"

That's the one I think it is too... "The Man who Nearly Knew Pavarotti"

That's actually an urban myth, the change was to emphisise that fact that the film was about a King (and it was George the 3rd, not 4th).
