Filmography[edit]

This filmography is missing A LOT. I'm going to start working on adding everything, but it will take a while. Mrmoocow 01:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two other BBC 4 TV series which are not mentioned, and which form the trilogy with Back at Sea are All At Sea, and Somewhere At Sea. 86.17.111.203 (talk) 15:19, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a film, but there is also no mention of the 2013-2014 BBC television series "Blandings", where Mr. Spall played Clarence, Lord Emsworth. How could this be added appropriately to this Wikipedia entry? Thanks. Pseudonym58 (talk) 03:14, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Forest Hill[edit]

Forest Hill is in the Borough of Lewisham - very urban and far from suburban. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.97.85 (talk) 14:02, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Barry Taylor a "gormless Radish" ...[edit]

The entry for his role as Barry Taylor in "Auf Weidersehn, Pet" (AWP) said that the character was a "gormless Radish". Whilst I agree somewhat with that statement, the use of the two words isn't that helpful here because, in my experience, they are expressions used solely within the UK and hardly as much in the USA etc. So, I've edited it to "awkward" which I think is better. Whether or not it is, I think it ought to be close to the spirit of the description of the character in AWP. I also edited the link to the WP AWP, which didn't work properly.
