"I don't have, and probably never will have, either Netflix or Amazon."
Same here David. I have enough on paying for essentials, never mid 'popular TV'. As the essentials get more expensive will others take the same view?

I wouldn't have it if I had to pay for it, saying that though subscribing to Netflix is cheaper than a TV licence.

Re: GOOD TV
I remember the Wireless Licence being 10/- a year.....
(I have an idea hat a dog licence and a wedding licence were the same price, 7/6, but stand to be corrected on that one. )

Re: GOOD TV
Regarding the wedding licence. Sally and I are fortunate in that we got married before the total madness of stupidly expensive bashes became the fashion! From memory, for our church wedding I think we paid £12.00 for the organist and the same to have the bells rung. I had my pocket knife about me so that we were not held to ransom by the village kids who tied the church gates shut as is the tradition in Carleton and many other villages. We did tip them for our escape though. I think the reception at the Devonshire Arms was the most expensive bit with a buffet for about 80 persons. Having said that it was nothing compared to what some folk pay now. It was 45 years ago though, like I said, before the world went mad.

Re: GOOD TV
Remember the old fashioned bingo caller - seven and six - was she worth it? I'd say yes. . . .
We had our reception here. Looks very grand.

Re: GOOD TV
Bunty did us a turkey dinner and one drink at the Coronation. I think it was 7/6 a head.... Vera's wedding dress cost £23. I paid for it and got into trouble for asking for a discount.
Janet tried it on in 1977.

Re: GOOD TV
Sally made her own wedding dress and six bridesmaid dresses and a small one for our page girl, Sally's cousin Sharon who works at the Coop.
I got a three piece grey pinstripe made to measure job from Hepworths in Skipton. Hepworths became the genus for Next in the early 80's.

Re: GOOD TV
Sad to see the BBC spoil good established programmes in their quest for wokeness.
Countryfile from Snowdonia covered the proliferation of micro plastics all over the area, and also light pollution preventing us seeing the stars. The expert light pollution researcher actually admitted that North Wales was in fact quite a good place from which to see stars.
Antiques Roadshow featured an Indian folk art picture (not antique), and some obviously fake Benin bronze bought by a tourist in a NIgerian street market. They've done their utmost to diversify the crowd and largely failed, but now seem to have given up, and are diversifying the objects.
I'll probably still watch them both though.

Re: GOOD TV
Its useful for those things on all antiques shows - the buying competition ones and the sell to dealers your own stuff ones. It helps show who can get caught - if not at the overpriced item in the boot fair (or auction - where descriptions go ... "believed to be (add age here , etc)" or market stall in Portobello Road , etc.Tripps wrote: ↑15 Feb 2022, 13:28 Sad to see the BBC spoil good established programmes in their quest for wokeness.

Re: GOOD TV
Watched the end of Chloe last night, could anyone who watched it please explain what actually went on, I expected more from the last episode, it’s just left me confused.

Re: GOOD TV
Nice programme on Channel Five now - behind the scenes of Last of the Summer Wine. I'm enjoying it.
They haven't mentioned something I only came across yesterday, which just about scrapes in as spooky.
Norah Batty's was from Dukinfield, and her real name was Minnie Higginbottom. Her daughter is a C of E vicar.
Still don't understand why Roy Clarke hasn't got a knighthood yet.
Ps Just found out that Compo is buried at Upperthong, adjacent to Clegg (Peter Sallis) and his full name is William J Owen Rowbotham.

Re: GOOD TV
Nice posts, the Last of the Summer Wine prog sounds good. Roy hasn't got a knighthood because he is a Northerner and his writings were about the North.
I agree with David, that was a bargain!
I have been watching Killing Eve from the beginning. Still a good series!

Re: GOOD TV
I'm being stodgy and ploughing through the later episodes of Killing Eve. Not exactly a bundle of laughs! (But a very good and well made series.)

Re: GOOD TV
I was under the impression that all episodes of season 4 of Killing Eve were available but I found out last night this is not the case. I shall have to wait until the end of April to get my binge watch of the finale. (Patience Stanley!)

Re: GOOD TV
The last series is only available on the IPlayer, each episode released weekly so you can still continue to watch unless you want to do them all at once.
