Just a reminder for all you fans out there that it’s back with a new series on 5 October Channel 5. A programme that I always look forward to.

Yet another signal that the clocks will have gone back and the nights are drawing in.
An excellent series and I will be watching.

You can all look out for my dog (blue/grey whippet). Star of one of the episodes. No spoilers. His final filming (he did 10 days in total) in Grassington was day after the Ewood win, feeling slightly hung over I kept getting locked in the pub whilst they filmed in the Square. Great experience though.

The show's producer has revealed that the BBC was given first refusal but passed on the series, fearing that it would not appeal to 16 to 34-year-old viewers.

Our whippet in the first episode next Thursday...
Many years ago (Christopher Timothy Series) my father sold the production team a dead sheep and three dead lambs which they urgently needed to film some scene - a short notice purchase as it'd snowed overnight. By the time they'd got said carcasses to the location the snow had all melted, so they stored them in a barn for several weeks until it snowed again... word from the on-set vet was that they were 'fragile' and 'non too fragrant' to work with when the scene was eventually shot. :lol:

I had a Grundig 2000. Colour on all actions Inc slo mo and record both sides of the tape. Didn't catch on with the masses. Was the best of its time.

I'm assured by a friend that the BBC passed up on it because they'd be unable to cast the usual quota of minority groups credibly in something set in 1930s Yorkshire Dales.

Great programme, but one strange moment when the vet was talking to the lad on the moors on a nice day and when they got back down there was a foot of snow.

They said that it snows up there a lot even when there’s none in Dareby.

I can't believe that; there must still be a couple of dozen of that demographic still watching TV; surely a couple of them would've fancied watching.

The only bad thing about it is that the adverts for AI technology phones etc in between bring you straight back down to earth and the shitty modern world we live in now
