Apologies first because this isn’t Last of the Summer Wine,but it’s a show I know a lot of us have watched and enjoyed. Anyone that has watched I didn’t know you cared will know that Olive Scrimshaws pub featured heavily in the last series,I went to take a look at her pub today to see the...

Hi, I read today that Lois Laurel,the daughter of Stan Laurel,visited Holmfirth in 1995 to watch the filming of an episode,and the crew and cast invited her to be an extra,in a scene in the cafe,and the music discreetly changed to the Laurel and Hardy theme tune. Does anyone know what episode...

I see that Gold have started showing this. Episode one of the first series was on today,I put the channel on hoping an episode of our beloved show was on,and at first I thought it was because there was our Sid,but he was with another character called Uncle Mort,who I vaguely remember,and I...

It’s sadly 20 years ago today since we lost the wonderful Thora Hird,our Edie Pegden. If you can get hold of a copy,the March issue of Best of British,a nostalgia magazine,is doing a tribute to her,and also an interview with Sarah Thomas.

Unfortunately not at our 50th,perhaps the travelling is too much,but our beloved Alvin at the grand age of 90 is live on stage on the 22nd of April at the Pump House theatre in Watford,it’s an evening of celebration of sit coms,what a coup to get him,would love to listen to him along with other...

For anyone interested,Mike Grady is making an appearance in Doctors tomorrow,9th March,on BBC1 at 1.45 pm.

For no other reason than it's our Glenda. Bitterly regret not seeing her in A Murder is announced,being told as the curtains opened that it was the stand in (who was very good) but Sarah had her reasons,it was family,which always comes first. Wish she could have made it or contributed to our...

Hi everyone, I hope you have all been keeping well. Have been busy with life and called in here,and shocked to see it was last August when I last visited,and fourteen months since I posted the 40th anniversary of Whoops,life passes by so quickly and we should treasure every moment. My love for...

I know this has been on here and discussed before,but I came across the old theatre tour programme for Last of the Summer Wine,I knew Howard and Pearl weren’t played by Robert Fyffe and Juliette Kaplan,but I had never seen photos of the characters who played the parts in the play. Peter Sallis...

Hi everyone, Sorry I have not been on here for a while,and apologies to everyone who may have interacted with a post of mine and not received a response,Stephen in particular replied with a great post almost two weeks ago which I have only just seen,and to everyone else I am sorry who may have...

I went for a short walk today,and would like to share it for those of you that are interested. It was only a very short walk,unlike the Destiny and six bananas anniversary that I have planned that will take all day. The walk started on Butterley Lane at New Mill near the White Horse pub at...

Our Edie,gun in hand is on Talking Pictures TV at 4.05 pm this afternoon,in one of my favourite films,Went the Day well ? If missed they are sure to repeat it as they usually do,it was filmed and shown during the War when there was a very real threat of towns and villages being infiltrated in...

Sorry. I haven’t been on here this last week or so,things have been very busy this last week,and continue to be so for the next week or so,but I managed to fit a walk in. All the photos on this thread were taken on the same walk,starting at Holmfirth,then driving to the free car park at the...

That’s just my name for it,there were endless scenes filmed here over the years,including the fake stone circle in Welcome to Earth,and the final fight scene in Enter the Finger,but whenever I walk here and see this tree,what I see is Howard and Marina discussing Needlework or wrestling while...

That’s just my name for it,everywhere I go,where’s there’s a landmark or location for the show,I have my own name for it,usually from a memorable scene there,even though many scenes over the years may have been filmed at the same place.This bench has been in many scenes over the years,it’s where...

I went to the Cast theatre in Doncaster once,and ever since I keep getting promotional emails announcing their new shows,I usually just discard them straight away. Got one this morning and something caught my eye,Agatha Christie’s A Murder is Announced from the 1st to the 5th of March,STARRING...

This small area with the view by the broken dry stone wall has always been one of my favourite Summer Wine locations,and although many scenes were filmed here,this is the one that I most remember. It starts with the line “ I used to know the length of the Mississippi” spoken by Truly,and I...

Rick Blackman is the son of Christopher Beeny,another character who I loved,I really liked the alternative trio of Toby,Barry and Morton. I follow Rick on Twitter because he makes lots of Summer Wine posts,a couple of weeks ago he visited Holmfirth and the Summer Wine exhibition to see the...

I was a bit dubious about using that title,even though it’s a funny line from the show,and even though it was shown on tv recently without being cut or edited,mainly because this week Marks and Spencer renamed their Midget gems Mini gems because they said the term midget was offensive,so I asked...

I was watching Why does Norman Clegg buy ladies elastic stockings tonight and Johnny Leeze appeared driving a Yorkshire Electricity Board van to Seymours cottage,I’v also seen him in other episodes as a security guard at the library,looking for a lost dog (I think it was Fifi) and I’m pretty...
