A Peter Tinniswood classic and great series with John Comer, Liz Smith, Robin Bailey, Stephen Rea among others. As well as a guest appearance in an episode by "Mouse" from LotSW. This time he is not trying to get a free drink from the trio. "Forgotten British Television" on youtube is...

A good watch if you are a fan of Fulton Mackay and Patricia Brake. The "Old Television" channel on youtube is starting to post the series. Kinda on par with "Don't Drink the Water" with Stephen Lewis. Link to the first episode, you can find the playlist of the rest from there.

A neat collection. Saw the thumbnail and had to check it out. I'm sure many here can spot the lady in the commercial starting about the 30 second mark. Compo might jump out of his Wellies.

Saw this on the interwebs and wondered if anyone on here was in Scarborough 1972 / 1973 time frame. Maybe you are in the video! Skimmed through it but not watched the whole thing yet.

A thriller movie based on a play and taking place in Wales with Peter Sallis, Peter Vaughan and Fiona Walker. Saw it show up on Classic British Telly from the You Tube thingy. I've not seen it yet, but from the Wiki page it seems to be a different Peter Sallis than we are used to in LotSW...

Saddened to see another favorite actress of mine has passed at 87. Loved watching the show M*A*S*H while growing up. At one point it was on 3 times in the evenings on different channels. My Dad used to call us all around the TV to watch the show. Was great family time - we laughed, we cried...

Saddened to see that George Wendt who played Norm Peterson on the sitcom Cheers has passed away at 76. I have been making my way through the series the last few months. First time to see all the episodes in sequence since watching them over the air way back when. Halfway through the series...

Got a chuckle the other day while shopping at my local Lidl that made me think of the comedy show Red Dwarf. Saw an "Automatic Drink Mixer" which looked like a clear coffee pot that had a stirrer mechanism in the lid. Then on the other side of the store was a second style of "Automatic...

Some more great drone footage of Huddersfield getting in the mood for Christmas by The Flight Stuff. So pretty.

Engineering in Standedge Tunnel Interesting video about checking on / updating the communication system within the tunnels. A trip through the old railway line and the canal path parts. I think Terry used to work with a telecom company. @maltrab , would you have jumped at the chance to...

Was not sure what to title this thread. The following video inspired this post thread. What happened to Gasometers ? An interesting video from some guys on gasometers from around Manchester, Bradford Colliery. I remember seeing structures like these in various British shows over the ages...

This is the first time I have seen David Jason not as a character in a show. He seems like a genuinely nice person. I bet he would be a great story teller and someone to just chill and have a beverage with. I really like how he gives credit to the folks on the set and the team as a whole. His...

Not sure if we have any gamers on here from days of old. But if you are a fan of the beverage and enjoy a good sing song then this is a nice tribute to Charlie Mops - the man who invented beer. He must have been an admiral, a sultan or a king... This video is from a computer game I played...

I had no idea racing pigeons or even pigeons were this fast! Or could fly this far. A range of almost 1,00 miles (1,600 km) and speeds of up to 80mph (130kph) with a tailwind with average of 37 mph (60kph) on a calm day. - Info from racing pigeon Wiki. I think Wally would be pleased to have...

I found someone has posted them on YouTube, for those who have yet to see First of the Summer Wine or wishing to watch again that do not have the DVDs. They go by the username knockitoffnow89. Seems to be full episodes and not mangled by anti-CP trickery (only watched a bit of the 1st ep)...

Do any of you know of a mini-version of Tom's Waldo dog puppet available? Or, something that looks similar? Or, another Last of the Summer Wine iconic type item - a small Welly, perhaps? I ask because I had an interesting idea occur to me the other night while planning visiting locations of...

Another great video by Huddersfield Outdoors. Makes me wish I was there enjoying the evening.

The train fans on here should appreciate this. Immediately thought of the trio and their escapade with a steam engine when I watched this one. I knew they were complicated machinery but did not realize how much so. Kudos to the folks at Animagraphs for this one.

Hi all, Think I have a new favorite mug and thought I might show off a bit. Just arrived yesterday afternoon. A friend sent this nice Shinyglow mug to me as a gift. Thank you friend! :) First cup of coffee in it this morn and looking forward to a cup of tea in it this afternoon. Sorry if...

Discovered this really cool youtube video last night that does a deep dive into a legendary sailing ship. It zooms in and goes through each deck to show how it was made, what each room was for and more. Absolutely fascinating. Top tier History Channel type level of video production. They...
