Hi George. Did you watch LOTSW from day one. And what is your favourite moment.

 

[George]

Yes I was hooked right from the beginning.
My favouryte moment is the scene in the barn from 'Inventor of the 40 foot ferret'
Compo "If I had a match I could light me fag......if I had a fag"

Hi George
If you could be anyones else in world who would you be?

 

[George]

Somebody rich and with working lungs.

Seriously though,as long as my wife stayed the same person (Adrienne),anybody.

 

[Pearl]

Would you change any of the actors in Summer Wine ? If so who and why?

I don't know about changing actors,but I think there were some characters who seemed superfluous and didn't need to be there,Nelly,Morton and Toby spring to mind .

George, you seem to be one that is always one joking around. You give us a steady flow of jokes in the forum. If you were in a crowd with all your mates, would you be the one being the center of attention, and the class clown? For some reason I could see you falling right in with the 3 guys cutting up in a pub. In the show ,is there one person who is closest to your personality?

Good question
I'm actually a very shy person so I think it's just a mask I hide behind.
I wish I was like Compo but I'm more like Cleggy
Thank you for the question

I hope not Dick.I rarely go out but I have a couple of hospital visits in the next few days so we'll see.Hope you're coping okay

George , other than your chest infection you had a while ago, do you have a chronic lung condition? I had Sarcoidosis about 8 years ago, and now in remission. I know what it is like unable to breathe. I was lucky mine lasted only about 6 months.

Yes I have emphysema.When I was in hospital in January the consultant I saw was talking about the possibility of a lung transplant.I see him on Monday.Maybe I'll find out more.

God Bless you George, i had no idea. I will be praying for you. That is a rough disease, my father in law has it also.

Hiya Darren,hope you're okay mate
Not counting the 3 main characters,I think I would have to pick Wally.Such a wonderful character brilliantly played by Joe Gladwin.He always made me smile.....brilliant.

 

[Pearl]

George, which character would you have liked to have played?

I think it would be Compo.My wife says I get away with murder because of my cheek,so i think I'd fit into the character.

Oh, yes, George. So right. Love the way he was able to make his arms and legs go flailing when Nora would give him a 'gentle' shove to get back in the house.
