Rich Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 On the Buses, Hi De Hi, Duty Free, Fresh Fields, Fawlty Towers... I watched them all. And that bloke who was Blakey in On the Buses is still in Last of the Summer Wine as far as I know, crikey he must be getting on a bit cos he was an old geezer when he was in OTB and that was in the mid 70s, nearly 30 years ago.

Yellowrose Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 About 1976 there was a sitcom 'I didn't know you cared'.A young man(called Carter, I think) was always daydreaming about 'having a pint with Freddy Trueman'. His blond girlfriend was called Linda Preston and old Uncle Mort was played brilliantly by Robin Bailey. A great show which I don't think has ever been shown as a repeat. I used to love this, but you never see it on repeats. There were characters called Uncle Mort and Staveley I think as well. The mother/grandmother of the family was some sort of diy expert and did all their house repairs. I would love to see this again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushbaby Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 There was a great early 70s sitcom called "The Top Secret Life of Edgar Briggs" which starred David Jason as a bungling MI5 office boy. I thought it was brilliant but apparently no-one else liked it or remembers it. Story of my life that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember this programme - you can get it on dvd from here: http://www.erazamataz.co.uk/prodview.asp?sku=71818&GUID={7744E31B-979E-49CD-A890-6F46DD3089C8}&mc=RX00201&TRK=26 I also used to watch the Cedar Tree at lunchtimes but for the life of me I can't remember a thing about it now.

His blond girlfriend was called Linda Preston and old Uncle Mort was played brilliantly by Robin Bailey. A great show which I don't think has ever been shown as a repeat. Would love to see this again, most of the filming was carried out around Sheffield, i remember the Myrtle Pub in Heeley, and the Snooker Hall on Cambridge St (all long gone being used for filming). One episode which i can vaguly remember was the works outing from Rabone Chesterman i think was on Pamona St,(near Eccleshall Rd) the road had a pub on every corner, and the coach kept breaking down outside each pub, and i dont think ever got to the seaside or wherever. Will have to buy this DVD some parts of Sheffield, which disapeered over 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
