Deathray 2,941 Posted December 6, 2016 Anyone else think LoTSW should've been kept on. Always looked forward to it on a Sunday afternoon as a kid! That and the endless Keeping up Appearances repeats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,488 Posted December 6, 2016 Well, it was a bit shit by the end, but I do think Jay Hunt is a complete cunt, so yeah. Would have been weird without Sallis though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might have been a bit weird without Sallis at first, but other iconic characters had came and went throughout the show. I always thought it worked a tiny bit like a soap, in that you knew characters couldn't live forever, but the show could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,488 Posted December 6, 2016 Roy Clarke would have had to let other people write for the show too. Blimey, Robert Fyfe is 92 next year - bit long in the tooth to go sneaking about with Marina nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,488 Posted June 19, 2017 Couldn't find any updates on the man though, Maryport, and if Vicki from Allo Allo visited him, she didn't take any photos. For shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For shame. Aye, no worries I was just being ironic in the other thread. For any newbies looking in on this thread - feel free to marvel at the total irrelevance of a tonnage of posts in the thread that - for many years - served as our common room hereabouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,488 Posted June 19, 2017 Yes, It's a special thread when you can open a page at random and be met full on with this.

Im, sort of, thinking that there is a photo opportunity there. We all stand outside, adjacent to the Brinny House sign, wearing Dickie O masks. A sort of 'Where's Waldo Wally' thing.

Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted August 24, 2017 Speaking from a professional point of view, any decent care home welcomes unannounced visits from members of the public considering their facility for an elderly family member. I'm sure between us we could concoct a convincing scenario to get a couple of us inside to do some in depth research! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
