    I Didn't Know You Cared

    I've been watching the series on DVD lately and found it shared five links with LOSW(John Comer,Liz Smith,Liz Goulding,Ronnie Hazlehurst and Bernard Thompson) not quite as funny though IMO. Uncle Mort made Smiler seem like a ray of sunshine

    Keith Clifford

    Shame he left before the end,had a bad back IIRC. Keith and Stephen Lewis were the actors who looked the best in drag in my opinion

    RIP David Ryall

    Liked his part in Earnshaw Strikes Again as the driver of the broken down car. Being tagged as Harry Potter actor despite only being in 1 film. I first saw him in Shelley with another LOTSW guest Hywel Bennett

    Dumb characters

    The sad death of Roger Lloyd-Pack recently made me ponder whether LOSW had any outright simpleton characters. Most people would say Compo but IMO he was ill-educated but not completely stupid. Now Ormeroyd from Catching Digby's Donkey....
