Yeah back again great, shame about Joe Fagin who passed recently.

That's terrible news. Thanks for the heads up. Needs adding to the memorial wall...

Lee must have paid the bookie.

Heather Lane pops up as Deborah's flatmate in an episode of Men Behaving Badly. She has that same strange Scots/Aussie twang

I've just watched it and the bricks are definitely cemented together. Quite slapdash too by the look of it. Then again it was dark when they did it.

Does anyone know why in series one Dennis calls cement 'darbo' (?) by the way? Sounds lie darbo anyway.

Can't say I had, boyo. I'm always wondering how they mixed cement and built a wall in the dead of night without waking him up

Nice one Hawkeye!

I've just been browsing the ITVX website and discovered that series 1 and 2 are on there in their entirety! I'm curious to see what versions these are (the free ITVX usually has ad breaks so will these be the original broadcast versions?). Excited to find out anyway. I'm not 100% sure but I think IT...

ITV4 have been re-running some early episodes of Agatha Christie's Poirot of late. A couple of spots - Marjorie as an onlooker (she had one line) and Mr Hilton as a cruise ship passenger.

Series 2 in Spain. Was watching Scoop the other day and this came up. All good fare and reasonable prices, which will be in pre-Euro potatoes Think I'd go with eggs and chips Good prices indeed.

Gotta admit that cheese board at the Cross Keys is a sensation.

Brilliant!

Good question. I'm not even sure any of the actors were German were they? The guy playing Helmut was Dutch I think. Maybe the builder Oz has the tangle with?

Anyway I don't know but at a guess they probably wrote the script in English and got it translated to German. Only a guess though.

Not sure if this is the incident of Oz and baked beans you were thinking of? I expect he's done it more than once, but this one is in good old Thornely Manner. I'd hazard a guess at Cross and Blackwell baked beans by the colour of the tin, unless it was ASDA own brand?? The baked beans scene I'm th...

Fawt that was you, ya mad geordie tosser!
