To think Roy Clark created 3 of the greatest British TV sitcoms is crazy. What a genius.

Can't beat the Poms in producing excellent sit coms. YOU CAN BEAT the producers who think they know what the viewers want BUT don't know bugger all.

Greetings from America I'm 57 and I've enjoyed LOTSW on my local PBS channel and on YouTube for 25 + years.
I've always thought 2-3 old men going out every day to see what they could get into as the funniest premise ever
for a program. The older I get the more I can identify with LOTSW the single greatest TV program in history.

An absolute all time favourite and so sad that most of the cast are no longer with us. ❤

Very well-done, many of us here in he USA love this show; even the later years after Bill Owen died had their funny episodes and performers.

The Police Officers were 2 of my favorite characters! Although their scenes were short, they never failed to crack me up!

Thank you, it was one of my top favourite shows ever.

As a long time fan of the programme , I must congratulate the maker of these vlogs for the care and attention that has gone into them. Such a shame the appreciation society failed years ago , there is still so much interest that it could have flourished with input from people like this well informed gentleman.
