I just noticed Bridget Forsythe passed away last year, perfect wife for Bob. Great series, loved this episode. Thanks for the upload, not seen this since it was first broadcast in the 70's.

Shame they were only actors playing the part of friends and not actual friends in real life. Shame Bewes got on everybody nerves including Bridget Forsyth. Shame Bewes got vindictive because Bolams career was more successful and made a whole lot of crap up about Bolam cancelling repeats when repeats were shown often. Shame. But don't let it spoil your enjoyment of a great show.

Fabulous scripts and repartee between these two. I grew up in the NE and this was hallmark TV. Still is too.

Script and acting perfection. Everything just flows.

I met Rodney Bewes in Barking in 2011 and he was very nice and he was easygoing

I like this episode, you get to see some of the country side, great show.
Absolute classic episode! Simple, but very cunning script and soooo well acted out by these two!

The crossroad where Terry stops for the red light is Armstrong/Atkinson Road. I just thought you should know. It's very important. 😁

"......escape from the capstan lathe and thin seam." I wonder how many today know what he's referring to.
No idea, please explain :-)
I’m guessing a thin seam is down the mines..

Thanks. Thin seam is a mining reference i believe?
@@Rubbafingaz1 Yes, that sounds right.
22:53 Even though Terry was cheating he still kept his promise to stay put for two minutes. Madness! 😆
Wish they made more over the years. We could catch up every years or so, would have been fab.
Was a brilliant show , such a shame over the years they fell out and never spoke to each other again
