Have checked out their blog in the past. Good episode summaries for the first ten years of the show. The book sounds worthwhile.

How interesting. I purchased the complete collection in July 2020 and began watching the episodes on the 29th of July. I have almost completed the entire dvd collection; only 3 episodes remaining, including the Pilot: Funerals and Fish. All will be viewed in under five and a half months. Thankfully, I have not been a couch potato; on the contrary, I have Been vigorously exercising whilst watching the shows. It's invigorating to laugh and exercise at the same time.

True, until a laugh catches me by surprise and makes my knees weak!

Thanks for that, Barry. Looks interesting so I signed up to get notified when it comes out. Kinda wonder why they have not found a third person who enjoys the show as they do so they could replace the mannequin.

Moonraker, I got the complete set sometime about a year ago as well. Is nice to be able to see them all and in order for a change.

I watch at least 3 episodes every night,whilst lying in bed !!.
Unlike Foggy,who uses Horlicks as a sleep aid......[unfortunately,it did not work on one of those giant apes !!] I find that the gentle storylines,combined with the soothing music put me in a really good place......it is like a visual sleeping tablet.
I find that having watched every episode over and over again that I can close my eyes...listen to Roy Clarke's magical dialogue....and before I know it.......ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I ration the episodes to one per night for general relaxation, followed by a few pages of one of Barbara Pym's novels to finish knocking me out. I've seen all of the episodes and read all of the novels until I can nearly recite every word, otherwise they'd be far too interesting to have that effect.

I posted a link to the audio episodes which are narrated by Peter Sallis on here a year or so ago, perfect for falling asleep to as they're sooo relaxing.
