I think the only thing I picked up from the show was drinking Carlsberg. I don't even remember seeing Carlsberg when I was stationed at RAF Alconbury in the very early 90s. Definitely must have picked that up from the show, the "Paté and Chips" episode to be more specific.

In "Small Tune on a Penny Wassail" Ivy seems pretty happy when she gets her sleep teddy from Sid on Boxing day.

The end of "Short Back and Palais Glide" appears to be at night also, when they are playing cards in the cloak room.

My Son's Xbox 360 played the burned copies I made of my PAL discs with AnyDVD. Haven't checked if the PS3 will do it or not. Had an old backup DVD Player I bought at Ralph's Grocery for 35 bucks (think the brand was Craig). It would play anything you put in it. The cheaper Philips usually can...

Did Ivy give Compo a free cup in Spring Fever? He didn't order anything when he walked in all spiffed up but Ivy told Sid to give him a cup anyway. I can't recall if he paid for it or not.

The day after the Box closed, I found TV CHAOS UK and noticed that they had all the Summer Wine episodes and First of the Summer Wine too. I even found some other hard to find series like "I didn't know you cared" with John Comer. As long as you seed, you get easy bonus points to up your...

That's a neat way of doing it, I'll have to look into that. :)

The last five years or so, Our labor day Monday here in Southern California have been brutally hot, usually 100°. It's like Summer's last hurrah before Autumn comes in.

It just rips them as vobs. I could use Nero to convert each vob into an avi/mp4 file but it's too much work for me. I actually did a few years back with seasons 1,2,3 and 4 and it took forever. Once I started using my TV as a second screen for my laptop, I just left the files as is and used...

I just used the old school DVD decrypter. http://filehippo.com/download_dvd_decrypter/

I've got seasons one through the season when Bill Owen died. All of the discs are from Amazon UK. I also have a few of the North American releases too from when I first started my collection. As my TV doubles as my Computer monitor also (40" LED), I've went ahead and ripped all of the DVDs to my...

Thanks so much for this. I downloaded the HD version using a grabber extension on Firefox. One of the little things I love about this episode (and it may go unnoticed by some) is seeing three people sharing a cigarette (Clegg, the Vicar and Compo). It reminds me of sharing cans of beer in my...

Wasn't Wally about 20 years older than the rest of the crew? Maybe they didn't want to over tax him?

In Peter Sallis' Autobiography, he mentions watching the Oliver Stone film "JFK" and a particular scene where, for about five minutes Kevin Costner and Donald Sutherland are talking on a bench without any cut away. Peter mentions how impressed he was. I think what you are talking about goes...

I always thought the two fingered "salute" was the equivalent of giving someone "the bird" as we say in the states when we use the middle finger to basically say, "F-you"

Peter's book "Fading into the limelight is quite good. I have the audio version in which Peter is the narrator and it's really nice listening to him talk about his life and career in his own words.

The funny side of Christmas, when Compo presents his three "orphans" at the front window. Cracks me up every time. :santahat:

I enjoyed it quite a bit. "Moffat says he spoke with Eccleston about appearing but the actor "didn't feel that he could come back to it." Shades of Brian Wilde there with that response. Being American, the Tom Baker years were my first introduction to the show, I was tickled pink that he got...

B a n k e r? I initially thought you meant a barrister but obviously not enough characters in the word that you had tried to type. I had to space the letters to avoid the same problem you are having. bxxxxr It seems to be censored out for some reason.

It seems like they intentionally masked it. To me, it almost seems to read 1890 or 1990.
