What do you think was the most interesting and/or funniest item to ever come out of her shop? Two items that come to mind for me are the dinosaur from "Jurassic No Parking" and the inflatable castle from "Stop That Castle". I'm fairly sure the dinosaur came from her shop, though not 100%...

I'm talking about ones that appeared in 1 episode, maybe 2 at the absolute most, and that was it. Armpepper (Ballad For Wind Instruments And Canoe) the tramp (Big Day At Dream Acres) Ludovic (Cheering Up Ludovic) Sam (Getting Sam Home) Aubrey (How To Get Rid Of A Cousin) Doggy Wilkinson (The...

...but anyway here goes. I chose the screen name "manfromoswestry" because it's the title of the episode that introduced Foggy Dewhurst to the LOTSW cast. I'm from the USA -- the state of New Jersey in particular, but I won't get any more specific than that. I've been an LOTSW fan since a...

The scenes where the trio was rowing the boat were quite idyllic, don't you think? I know summerwine.net has a map of the bridge that the trio passed in one scene. I'd like to know where the spot was where the trio rested as the canoe drifted away on its own.

Is this actually a legitimate challenge in Britain, or something that was purely made up for the series? This is definitely among my top 10 favorite episodes currently, especially considering the lengths they went to just to get Alvin and Howard over that row of hedges! I still chuckle...

I don't recall if I brought up this topic a while ago, but anyway, I'm curious to know whatever happened to all the vehicles used in the series, like... that power blue truck Auntie Wainright used to transport antiques Entwistle's truck Sid and Ivy's chip van from "Getting Sam Home"...

There used to be just about every episode imaginable on Youtube, but now, hardly any. Do you think the BBC put pressure on Youtube to take down the episodes for copyright reasons? Also, here in the US, there are several episodes from the Blamire years I can't get on DVD -- namely the pilot...

Does anybody else find it hard to watch these three episodes in particular? To see such a pivotal character like Compo no longer in the series was truly heart-breaking. I reflect in particular on the episode "Just A Small Funeral", where the camera shows various nature scenes while the LOTSW...

There's been so many times when Compo was at Nora's door, trying in vain to get her attention, only for Nora to dump a bucket of water on him. Please list those episodes here. Thanks.

I'm talking about characters that lasted maybe one or two episodes and were never heard from again. I liked the waitress in the boarding house when the trio went to Scarborough in the two-parter of "The Great Boarding House Bathroom Caper" and "Cheering Up Gordon". She was cranky in a funny...

And by that, I mean the two actors who have been in every episode from the beginning -- Peter Sallis and Jane Freeman. Does anyone know what they have been up to since LOTSW's cancellation? I would imagine they've long since retired, but don't know for sure.

an observation of Compo & Nora Just recently, I watched the early Blamire episodes for what seems like the millionth time. It never gets old to me. Anyway, I noticed that, in those early episodes, Compo didn't refer to Nora on a first-name basis, but rather as "Mrs. Batty". At what point did...

Just reminiscing about episodes where the trio ventured into an abandoned building... Of Funerals And Fish Hail Smiling Morn Or Thereabouts Ballad For Wind Instruments And Canoe Here We Go Again Into The Wild Blue Yonder Feel free to add to this list.

Do you think it would be safe to say the character of Edie Pegden had a bit of an OCD complex? You reflect on things like how she always put newspaper down whenever Wesley entered the house or sat on a chair, the way she fastidiously kept the house in immaculate condition, the way she checked...

I remember hearing what I think could've passed for the sound of Thin Lizzy or Iron Maiden with the twin guitars playing in harmony with each other. Was that an actual band in real life who's music was borrowed for the show, or was it especially recorded for the show? Also, I don't recall if I...

I recall seeing Barry with a piano and saxophone, Howard with a double bass, the trio with recorders, so can anybody else recall episodes where musical instruments played an important role to particular characters? Wasn't there somebody who played the flute to attract birds? Edited to note...

...was there ever any mention of him? I remember after his 1st exit when Clegg and Compo received painted eggs from his business in Bridlington. However, the 2nd time around, I don't recall anything other than the episode that introduced Truly as his replacement. Since then, nothing. After...

After watching this episode, I was wondering what the connection is between weddings and chimney sweeps in England. Was it something done just for this episode, or is it some sort of good luck to have a chimney sweep attend a wedding?

Edie And The Automobile Some Enchanted Evening There was another I can't remember the title at the moment, but it's where Foggy and Compo snuck Wally out of the house and got Clegg to substitute for him, scrubbing the carpet outdoors.

regarding the Seymour-era episode "Jaws" Remember the scene when they're all in the machine shop to pick up the waste disposal unit? Here in the US, they blurred out the picture of the scantily-clad woman on the calendar on the wall. Did they also censor it in the UK as well? I'll have to dig...
