Barry's Christmas is on UKTV Gold today (yes... I know!!) ... :rolleyes: As I mentioned in my video about "The Christmas Episodes", the episode starts and ends with a fade from / to sepia. There is also a brief burst of strings - sounding a bit ominous, or perhaps mimicking the sound of the...

In my "Summer Wine Decanted" video series on YouTube, I did a lot of talking. Now, I think it is time for you to say something! There are lots of threads on here about favourite Summer Wine episodes, so I would like to invite you - any of you - to have a chat with me for some future videos. It...

This is making my head ache, I'm sure I must have walked past this location, but I just cannot figure out where it is... Any ideas?

I follow archivist Gary Brannan on twitter (@garybrannan) - He does not just do comedy and tv, but he has been responsible for cataloguing some of the archives of actors, comedians and other television professionals. He occasionally shares some of the stuff he finds. This image is from the...

BBC Received Pronunciation is the "accent" originated by the BBC in 1916, that was the typical way broadcast announcers would speak. As you might have guessed, I am developing another video project and for the odd sentence or two I would like to use a voice other than my own to replicate the...

I know there are a lot of smart people who post here (I'm getting the compliments in early) and some of you have quicker wits than me, so I thought I would ask for suggestions to name my purple puppy dog. No, it's not genetic engineering gone wrong! I mean the dog logo for my YouTube video...

Did you know there might be two missing "LotSW" episodes? There are different types of missing episodes, for example: Early episodes of shows like Dad's Army, where the original video tapes were wiped and reused, as video tape was expensive and no one then imagined anybody would ever want to...

I know some Summer Wine fans also watch the BBC's daytime medical drama "Doctors". The BBC announced this week, that after 23 years the series is coming to an end. So, while out today I got a couple of photos of what looks like will be their last time filming on location at the surgery in...

Brian Wilde 1985 TV commercial for Clover spread.

Just seen Holmfirth on TV in a quite unexpected manner. Watching "Traffic Cops" on UK channel "5Star" - they were chasing a car from the motorway on A616 then A635 in to Holmfirth on Station Road, passing the bus station in Towngate, the car then crashed at the junction of Hollowgate and...

Episode 1 - "From Pilot to Pinnacle" The first full episode of my series of videos on YouTube goes live at noon, today (8 May 2023, UK BST)

I have been watching series 2 of the "gritty" BBC police drama Happy Valley on iPlayer. It was mostly filmed in Hebden Bridge and the surroundings are unmistakably Summer Wine Land-ish, a couple of locations were used in Summer Wine. So it's really incongruous to see the familiar countryside...

You might like to see (one of many) nerdy review web sites, that includes Series 1-10 of Summer Wine. Each series is ranked worst to best, so get ready to grit your teeth and seethe with rage! They review all sorts of other classic TV shows and even feature films. See the Summer Wine Pilot /...

Recently, I'm sure, someone posted a photo of Clegg and Howard's homes that look out on Holmfirth town centre from beyond Daisy Lane. Now, I can't find the photo or remember what the post was, or who posted it ... Was it you ...?

Does anyone have a copy of the script (or part/s of it) for the series 28 episode “What Happened to the Horse?”? Not a transcript of the episode, though, but the words that were scripted to be said! Thanks, in anticipation ...

OK, slow down - first, a disclaimer: it is not mine to sell, but the person that has it would really like to get rid of it! As you can see it's not a fully roadworthy vehicle; this is a cut-down front end that was used with "greenscreen" background video superimposed to simulate driving on the...

This one is a bit sad, really ... taken today, 7 October 2022.

I'm filming in the Holmfirth area again this weekend, and also filming with petedk42 near the end of October. So, if anyone has any influence on the Weather Gods, can you put in a good word for me? Thanks!
