Just finished watching the latest Wallace and Gromit. Outstanding, I can't imagine the amount of work that went into that movie. I think Truly would have appreciated the name of the narrowboat belonging to the soon-to-be-retired Chief Inspector Mackintosh.

Picked this up at an international grocery store in Cincinnati. I look forward to sampling to discover what the lore (or fuss : ) is all about.

https://britizen.uk/practice/life-in-the-uk-test I got a lowly 58% on the first test. It's nice that there are explanations of the ones I got wrong. I think perusing this forum (and Wikipedia ITN nominations) over the years helped with understanding more about UK culture and history. Perhaps...

From last year. Apologies if posted earlier. https://www.threads.net/@marky266/post/DB68ohwIwFn?xmt=AQGzvp-kf0p_TTANiKi4RPrOKPvviAins7qVjbqFryCIPg

Perhaps not. Young Truly might make for a good show. https://www.vitalthrills.com/acorn-tv-march-2025/

Fortunately. What I do wonder is what other names at that time could have been considered that would also have less staying power (without the hindsight of 30+ years of success)? It's Raining Again

Except the whole "I'm a physicist" thing - of which I am not...

Not sure if anyone here has seen the episode "Miri" (kids, "bonk-bonk" etc.) from the original series. I found this tidbit on Wikipedia which I though was interesting. BBC ban Following the first screening of "Miri" on British television in December 1970, the BBC received a number of complaints...

Noticing the absence of a proper creative conclusion for the departure of Babs and Mrs. Avery I thought I would put together a vignette created with a little, er, assistance. I've tweaked the final product a bit and you can think of this as attached to the end of an episode or it's own DVD-like...

Or, to be more precise, the day the updated edition of the Yorkshire book by Rough Guides is released on Amazon (at least in the US). I am not sure if our show, Holmfirth or its lore are included. From what I remember of the previous edition it was a scant mention. Hopefully at least that much...

I know they've already tried a "First of the Summer Wine" spinoff. I've always wondered which character (could be any of them) would make for a strong lead in a "Young ____________" series supported by the other stalwarts (open as well to characters who never appears in LOTSW). Who do you think...

Has anyone visited this exhibit near Leicester? Looks amazing. 38ft,16ft 6in - wow

As promised in an earlier post (Yorkshire as a character) I am posting an "exchange" between the Star Wars character Obi Wan Kenobi and "The Force", as if it had its own voice (which it never did to my knowledge). This result is courtesy of ChatGPT. I tried to think of a meaningful question to...

So...I've been knocking about with ChatGPT to script me some dialogues between various Star Wars characters. The results have been very interesting if not predictable. I always wondered why the oft talked about Force never actually made an appearance or spoke as if from above so I asked for that...

...but interesting, starting at 8:06

I didn't pick up on the peg until midway through this.

...every once in a while. In what episodes have you seen Compo square away his appearance nearly to (if not that of) Bill Owen himself?
