Bit different from their last outing together 😉

I thought this was going to be a thread about this:

I thought this thread was going to be about the next PPI/ diesel-gate/ had-an-accident-at-work compensation free-for-all.

What is this thread actually about?

I think it’s about a gritty remake of Last of the Summer Wine.

Stealth edit. Did you just confuse your gritty northern counties?

Thread title should be Combo?

Stealth edit. Did you just confuse your gritty northern counties?

😀 yep! For some reason I thought Royston was based on a town in Barnsley, then Sheffield, then I just went for north. Last of the Summer Wine was West Yorkshire where I grew up. Always hated it as a kid because it reminded me that the weekend was over.

How does "Time" become "Compo" because of a typo?

Ahem. Last of the Summer Wine was Holme Valley where I grew up. Frustratingly though when we ride down the hills round here on our bikes we don't get the cascading did-a-li-da-did-a-li-da-did-a-li-da music. Some of us do flip over walls and land in a pond though.

Enjoyed Time. Short and sweet by modern standards. Will avoid any specific commentary or spoilers but one cliche and one particular scene should’ve been jettisoned. Other than that a pretty faultless and compelling story.

Aren’t there a / some prison guards on this forum??

Dorset Knob - was that supposed to be a picture of a Planet X / On-One?

Edit - Ah! you fixed it!

Enjoyed Time. Short and sweet by modern standards.

Yup.

Finished it last night. Great stuff.

For something so miserable, that was very watchable. Who knew the Yorkshire Tea bloke was such a good actor? 🙂

@bregante I think?

Thought it was esselgruntfuttock. It's got a "g" in it that's for sure 😀

Oh yeah - was quite realistic, once you'd got over him being inside for killing a cyclist. And we all know...

Esselgruntfuttock was a prison officer, I always thought bregante was a copper but I may be wrong.
