I have the entire series on DVD. Every night, I climb in bed and watch an episode or two before turning off the lights to go to sleep. It's the perfect way to settle down enough to go to sleep after a long day.
Totally loved this. I'm 48...if I am alive in thirty years I will still be watching this show! It is just the best and seeing Juliette Kaplan ...now deceased...makes me want to watch it again tonight
Words can hardly convey the love we have for these characters and the parts they played. I would love to have met each one in person. We actually filmed each one for when the day might come when they were no longer available on BBC. We have a priceless library.
It is a shame that Wally Batty is never shown or mentioned in anything like this...he was by far the funniest character on the show even though for the most part he was never in a full episode. I guess with the show going on for so long after Joe Gladwin's death in 1987 he is a forgotten character compared to others such as Howard, Marina, Pearl etc
Every time I hear that theme I begin to smile,and all is well with the world for another 1/2 hour,farewell to all of that crew who have left us,very much missed !
I discovered this show because of a documentary of WALLACE & GROMIT. They talked about Peter Sallis making this show so I had to check it out. I was hooked from the first viewing. I miss it and I miss all the colorful characters.
I was born in mid 1984 between the series 7 episode getting Sam home, and the series 8 episode the loxley lozenge. Peter sallis was born about 1 year after my grandparents. I first seen this show in the early 2000's. This is one of my favorite sitcoms. Rest in peace all the departed cast and crew of this excellent show.
We were introduced to this brilliant show here in America through what is called public television, my mother got me hooked on the show, I had already been a fan of British TV, I started recording them and still watch but I lost track of it after a certain time them my mom passed away in 2014, we used to watch it together.
Losing the actors from this show was like losing family members or close friends. Will miss them always. They brought so much to all who watched everywhere. May they rest in peace 🕊️.
I watched the first one with my father in 1973,the same year my local soccer team won the FA cup anyway it was the only comedy we ever watched together and until his death in 1984 we often watched it together, it is a great leveler cos there is no violence,politics,illness, sex or anything else you could argue about it's just funny stuff for the sake of funny stuff. I loved it at 11yrs old and 50yrs on and I still love it, bless the blooming lot of 'em 😁💕🖖
