    Smoking in summer Wine

    In rare instances it adds a bit more character to the actor's performance. I'd cite the late John Savident's excellent portrayal as Fred Elliott, I say Fred Elliott in Coronation Street. Later as the writers struggled to give him meaningful scenes he'd be leant across the bar, give a funny noise...

    Sorry Barry

    You too can indulge in the ultimate experience. Marvel as you, the groom are left stranded on the moors as the father of the bride arrives in a clapped out vintage banger. Be the envy of all your friends as you arrive by self propelled wheelbarrow. Be astonished that one scruffy Simmonite has a...

    Smoking in summer Wine

    Smoking suited the early episodes as it was just another element of unsavoury but commonly prevalent grime that permeated the landscape along with that of decayed factories. Later on the majority of smoke comes from either Seymour's inventions or Wes-leh's shed. There's also that which is left...

    Sumnerwine Sat Nav.

    A few more...Seymour would give you a full educational description lasting so long he'd miss the next turning, Wesley would be listening to music and not notice where you need to turn and Wally would give you a Pigeon's eye view...

    Sumnerwine Sat Nav.

    Lilly Bless Her: as Compo would say "tha doesn't directions with this one!" Foggy would be too busy writing his signs to read any. Smiler would go into a despondent moan halfway through.

    Sumnerwine Sat Nav.

    Not Mrs Avery with her left-right difficulties! Nora would keep you on the straight and Narrow and Clegg would direct you to entirely wrong county!

    Music Maestro please

    For me mostly 50, 60s, smatterings of the 80s and some of the musicals and less than a handful of 'songs' since the turn of the millennium.

    Why Sepia?

    If I think out of the television box it may be marking the transition of the 80s into the 90s. A turbulent decade has now gone and a new bright dawn begins but in Summer Wine land the landscape remains timeless for all in this wonderful bubble encapsulated by Mr Clarke. This therefore acts as a...

    Well I've finally managed it......

    What a wonderful thought! Sadly I am not anyway near in his league of talents despite sharing his birthday. Barry himself can testify to my identity there :D

    Well I've finally managed it......

    The last time I watched it beginning to end was when I upgraded to the full boxset of everything. Sometimes you get a real flow of continuity others you get a clear disconnect as someone behaves 'out of character'. However as it progresses, the grimy look of the first few series is replaced by...

    If you have not seen what Crusher is up to these days

    Crusher decided after Seymour's treasure hunting to hunt down pirate copies of the legendary 2 lost episodes. In his search he persuaded Howard to pose as chimney sweep to gain access to Dream Acres where they were rumoured to be hidden up the chimney. The plan went naturally awry with Mr...

    Who would you have dated/married

    Edie - with a glare like hers who needs a burglar alarm! Beneath the inherent snobbery there was an underlying warmth there.

    Ah yes put me down for Mr Challis too, Cannon and Ball were due to be on in Liverpool the night of Lockdown I's announcement but thankfully saw them before in Bobby's play what he wrote with Stu 'crush a grape' Francis!

    Acting Chops

    I saw Tom doing his fairly extensive and occasionally touching one man show about his and Bill Owen's lives, as on tv documentary he always referred to his father as simply 'Bill.'
