Next month the first episode of our brand new podcast Episode Number Nine launches, and we're going to be looking at Open All Hours. Personally I think Granville was David Jason's greatest role, and Arkwright was possibly Ronnie Barker's. Who's with me? OUT SOON! @episodenumbernine.bsky.social

@eggpod.bsky.social listened again to the McCartney ‘Tug of War’ podcast from April 2020 (with Andy Miller) over the weekend..the ‘Take it away’ promo was mentioned.. so though you’d like to see this from ‘club sandwich’ issue 27 from 1982 (assuming you’ve not already got this :)

So sad to hear about Richard O'Sullivan. Such a talent and brilliant as Robin in Man About The House, my favourite sitcom of all time. He did so much more besides, and was a reliably warm and witty presence in everything he turned up in

First saw this age 14 in 1986,late night BBC1 (still got the vhs .. yep I know !),completely confused,yet after a few watches it made more sense. Watched it originally for John Lennon but the cast is so good .. Jack Mcgowran especially.He is also so good in the film ‘The Fearless Vampire Killers’
