One enduring memory which always brings a smile to my face was sitting and talking, well listening, to Thora for hours on end, because in between takes she used to thrill us all with her stories of her past career. One thing she mentioned that she felt was a highlight in her career, and...

Thats it, I'm worried now, lol.

She is a Stunner too!

Another perhaps more boring memory was when they were filming at Tunnel End, doing the Episode "The heavily reinforced bottom" I think it was called. The one with the mini submarine, piloted by Compo, well not really, as he never went anywhere near the damn thing. At the point where it rolls...

Something that was a very personal memory for both myself and my wife, was the first time I met Jean Ferguson. We were there to help out on a Scouts Open Day, which was very dear to Bill's heart, and a lot of the cast were selling Autographs for Charity. I hadn't met Jean before, and I bumped...

Yes Jean was very down to earth, and always friendly, she fitted in very quickly, and very soon became one of Alan's Favorite's, I guess that's why she was brought into the show so much in the later series, as she was only meant to be in one episode originally.

Im worried that you might think that I had been disrespectful to both Peter and Bill in my last post, but I was just trying to say that from what I saw, and I assume, without trying to sound big headed, that I spent more time with them than most here, that sounds terrible I know, but I am just...

Im sure that you all know this but Bill was actually nothing like Compo at all in real life, he was very well spoken, although he could lay it on a bit thick sometimes, and he was a very smart dresser, and very meticulous in the way he did things, he liked the same things for breakfast and did...

One thing I always remember being very impressed by was the way the 3 main Actors in particular , (most of the Actors could do it,) were able to drop into character after talking to you quite normally and then when it was time for a take they just dropped into a different person instantly. I...

Me again, I do have lots of memories of my times with the cast and crew of LOTSW, and if it would be of interest I am happy to mention a few. I wont talk about anyone in a negative vein, or mention any times when the cast were less then welcoming ok as that would not serve any of us well, it did...

I have lots of photos taken of the cast, not smiling to the camera shots, the guy from the Exhibition used to take care of that, but more relaxed shots of them with the Crew and waiting for their next scene etc, if they would be of interest, I would gladly post them

I posted the Picture for ya, has it worked.

She can chat a little when you get close to her, but she finds it difficult to string a sentence together as she forgets what she wants to say so quickly.

Im not exactly sure if he worked for Decca, to be honest, remember I was only very young in the 60's born in 58, so his early career is a little misty, but he did tell me about The Beatles. Actually I worked for EMI as a 7" & 12 " Singles Promoter for many years, which meant mixing with a lot of...

Yes they did buy a Bungalow there, until Dad passed away, too big for Mum on her own.

Ah I would love to see that, as I have precious few of her in her heyday. She is still with us, well sort of, she is 86 now, totally Bedridden, riddled with Arthritis, and has terrible Dementia, so she doesn't remember anything of her life, anything!, it has all gone, and she sleeps 24 hours a...

I will fish out the Picture for ya!

Dad had a similar claim to fame, and I bet he never told you about this, but you know he used to Audition different people, yeah, well one night he had a 4 piece Group come to Audition for him, he listened to them, and at the end politely told them that they were not commercial enough for his...
