One Way Pendulum (1965)
If you think the world is round then forget this.
it's wonderful when it was last on TV about 600 years ago, the TV times said "if you think the world is round then don't bother watching this" that sums it up, it's absurd and very funny for example - jonathan miller is his son, he steals speak your weight machines and retunes them to different notes so he can get them to play a symphony julia foster is his daughter who thinks her arms are too long after watching the monkeys too much at the zoo. peggy mount is the neighbour who they pay to come and eat up all the left over food. eric sykes is building a copy of the old bailey in the living room - after that it gets mad. Come on TV companies - it's about time we saw it again.
Last of the Summer Wine: Uncle of the Bride (1986)
Wonderful addition to the Summer Wine series
This came at a time when Brian Wilde (Foggy) had left the series and something really special was required to fill that gap. It came in the form of Michael Aldridge who gives a wonderfully eccentric performance as Seymour Utterthwaite. We are also introduced to Wesley Pegdens wife (Thora Hird), Glenda and Barry. All of them have become stalwarts of the programme. For me, the classic scene takes place in the pub on Barrys stag night when a drunken Seymour tries to talk to Barry about ambition. Peter Sallis and Bill Owen are on their usual top form. As a side story, we have Wally Batty (Joe Gladwin thankfully in a larger role than normal) trying to convince Nora to let him keep a whippet that has adopted him.
