Quite a moving episode for me, first because these three treasures take me back to my earliest TV memories, second because it was transmitted four days after Arthur died, having been interviewed on Pebble Mill just hours before.

Little known fact about Noel Gordon- she took part in some of the very first experiments with colour TV in the UK, years before the British decided which system to use.

What a total gem this is. Will be watching this later. Thankyou
Great people
Superb tv.
Noel Gordon died 3 years after this show.. Arthur Lowe had died before it was broadcast !!!
Thank you. Really enjoyed this. Great upload.
Remember this from the 70s and 80s the frightening thing is if it came back now it would feature shows from the 70s when I was a kid
Reminds me when
I was a teenager off school
1970s

Love this
Sad to see Arthur in failing health here. It's a pity he didn't do more to take care of himself; he was only 66 when he passed!

All had success on ITV but Lowe did it on the BBC.
These wonderful people were true stars and legends. Today we get Loose Women…….please!
What a nice show this is .would not make something like this now.
