Never get tired of watching , LOTSW, After my son died, I watched repeats, ot helped me cope with those dark days, today is 28th.Oct 2024, he died 2008

[@donnasmith275]

My condolences for loss of your son dear one, so sad. I've been watching for distraction of sadness after losing my husband of 38 yrs. In 2014, at 54 yrs old, and then my dear younger sister of 56 yrs. old in 2018. We must keep going forward into our next day as best we can, maybe bring a smile to somebody, a happy hello, enjoy the birds' chirping, remember a fond memory. God Bless you in peacefulness dear one, also to whomever other good person(s) who may read this.

[@pkc3168]

I like to come back to this when I need cheering up . I love how it portrays Yorkshire folk. Compo, Clegg and Foggy were the best and so amusing together. Nora Batty, Ivy, Edie and Wesley, Auntie Wainwright, Pearl and Howard I love them all. Rest in peace and thank you for the non-trashy TV unlike that which surrounds us these days.

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

I still find it hard to believe, after meeting Bill Owen (Compo) in person many years ago, that he actually spoke with a middle class Cockney accent in reality, but could do a beautiful Yorkshire brogue (Just like my own :-D) with no problem at all. I truly miss all these wonderful people, but in my mind, their bodies may have passed away, but their characters and legends will live on eternally :-)

[@dpinto6278]

What was he like?

[@MrCrystalwarrior1]

@@dpinto6278 He was a true gentleman, loved talking to his fans, and put on his character for anyone who wanted it. Wonderful, warm personality, who fell in love with Holmfirth, where they filmed the series, and is now buried there.

[@Missg-q5n]

He gave me a rabbit when I was a kid my dad told me. He met him and it's weird cos my dad was the split of him They was like twins in everyway and my dad was from yorkshire Barnsley as am i. I never met him sadly but true story according to my dad. But I always wondered if they was twins same size and hair in everyway quite scary when I look back now.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Man I miss all those folks, it was one great show, ran for a long time too, because it was so good! That Compo he was a damn nut, sht they were all pretty nutty that’s what made it so good! A lot of good ones from here have passed on too, R.I.P. all!

Decent little programme. Makes me think of Sundays as a child. Watching it, I mean. I wasn’t a retired Yorkshireman as a child. Nor am I now. You get the point.

[@howardkerr8174]

For those not aware of it, this series holds the record for longest running tv comedy series in continuous production. The first episode was aired in the early 70s and ORIGINAL episodes were still being filmed in 2007...IIRC. Obviously, by the end, the majority of the original cast had gone to their eternal reward. This series played on some PBS stations in America but did not prove to be all that popular, I am assuming because it is a bit too gentle in its comedy. When I first saw this series I was " middle-aged ", now that I am as old as many of the cast members were when this was filmed...I find it even more endearing. Nora Batty reminds me of my grandmother, tho I seem to remember my grandmother as dressing with more style. And the men remind me of my father's friends who used to meet once a week for card playing. It was the same night my mother met with her friends to play cards, so both had nights out.

[@sheilagravely5621]

Howard Kerr, I'm American and have watched BBC all my life. I adore the comedies, but I also love the mysteries. Watched father Brown last night. I too love the simple, clean, un political and dry humor. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂🙂💚

1973 to 2010 for 31 seasons. But less than 300 episodes because of how few episodes per season many Brit shows put out

[@70sboy98]

The best of this show were until Foggy left, the 70’s and early 80’s were the best, every episodes is like looking back to times sadly gone for good, if they were to do a new series now it could not be imitated, just like they tried it with Porridge and the film version of the Sweeney with Ray Winstone, no chance it would work.

[@stefanhelbig8726]

Those in charge at the BBC didn't have to like the show themselves, but they should have shown respect for the audience. If it pleases and is successful, then it can't be wrong. The cancellation of the series was wrong.

[@Ozslady]

The reason the show was cancelled was because the actors were getting too tired and were getting sick peter sallis had dementia Frank Thornton was getting severe arthritis and the creator didn't, want to keep making epsoides
