Minerva were a cable manufacturer, they used to specialise in fire alarm systems and fire proof cables, Minerva might have been part of the BICC group of companies.

It's all a bit vague now, but i only know of Minerva as i was a spark back in the 80's and used some of their stuff.

Lee, i often feel it is a bit too nerdy to be still nostalgic for a show, when you think about it, first and second series which we would all agree are the iconic ones are getting on for 30 and 27 years old respectively. Afterall i have got a pretty serious job as a senior manager in a company, but ...

I was wondering if anyone had thought about putting all the known filming locations or key locations onto a list of POI's for a sat nav for some sort of Auf Pet holiday tour or days out etc? I just thought this earlier today as the company i work for has a link to downloads all our 475 company locat...

Could do with some stills shots to take with you when visiting these places so you can get your angles sorted, tis funniest feeling world standing in a place your heros once sat/stood/touched.

To be honest it was probably seeing Tim Healey in Benidorm that so...

HI folks, just joined up, did not know there was an forum before this one, so this is all new to me and i'm very impressed by some of the knowledge some of you boys and girls have about the show, and also very glad there are still keen fans about of the show, i always thought i was in a minority of ...
