Sorry Moody Blue you are totally wrong about As Time Goes By it was one of the best comedies produced on tv the cast were supreme and the ongoing story line struck a cord with many many people.The dialogue between the two main characters was masterful with many quips that you could relate to...

Agree Captain Arkwright was the master he would have sold Auntie all her stuff before she knew it.

Seem to remember them going for a horse rideFoggy on a big white horse they ended up on a cricket pitch and that leads to Seymour showing off that he could bowl until he saw the crowd watching.When Foggy went swimming at Scarborough he genuinely looked frozen so it must have been filmed in...

Jonathon as he went on a crash diet could not come back to the show and ended up half the side he was dieting did him out of a role.

Compo had a go at hang gliding mostly at Foggy,s insistence with technical help from Wally with a g.iant pigeon creation also the lads went canoing in the early years and managed to get soaked.The sponsored dribble was another disaster but one of pleasure for Howard the lads were not built for...

He hurt his back in an accident and could not do the stunts etc anymore a great loss to the show always liked his character I think he could have stayed to the end.

Read this thread and went on Amazon and ordered arrived yesterday very interesting book and yes the text is a very thoughtful Clegg like the letter to Poland amazed Clegg would do this .

The reason behind our show being so loved is the people ,the humour,scenery and the close knit families involved and friendships formed when at school still in being when in advanced years.The lads all still remained friends even though Foggy went away to be a warrior plus people like Wesley who...

Don't know if he was injured but always liked him I had a pair of red braces like his ,didn't notice that movement but will watch out next time its on.

Definitely yellow a Citroen Diane horrible car it bounced all over the road and as for comfort forget it French farmers didnt want to pay for it as long as they could transport eggs over ploughed fields without making an omelette that's all that mattered.Always thought that Crusher tested to its...

What a picture Nora looked ,well Compo would have fancied her but Glenda wow Barry would have feinted ! When was this pic taken?

Yes Amos I have noticed that especially Compo but Wally was he one who could really get drunk remember the episode with the giant carrot he really was out of it much to Noras disgust .Hope everything is going well for you and that you will be home soon .Chris

I have seen it before in other episodes but when did...

Today I watched a dvd about railways in Yorkshire in the early sixties lovely shots of steam and early diesels around gods own county,one section showed a railfan trip from Leeds to the branches in the area.The train made its way to Brockholes and then up to Holmfirth and a very grubby place it...

The whole of Holmfirth was spruced over time especialy when the clean air act came in to being,until then everywhere in the north was sooty and dark but full of character now it looks to clean.The flagstone was something that probably all the locals knew it was there and did not bother about it...

I read somewhere that before every new series the beeb would buy an expensive jacket for Compo and then proceed to ruin it Bill thought it a waste of money.

Agree enjoy your time at home Amos .

Foggy did have an aversion to women but the postwoman finally got him but looking at the women in the series I cant say as I blame him would you want to live with Ivy bellowing at you or Pearl being horrible (that blonde hair is nothing to worry about) .Also Foggy spent years in the army and was...
