Suzanne from Texas on Faith in the Future: "I LOVED this show! I loved Jools and each character! I was lucky enough to buy the entire show's seasons on dvd from raretv.com when they were up and running. I watch them again and again. If I find them available again I will post. Theme song is "The World is What You Make It" by Paul Brady..."
Vernon Liddell from Wiltshire on September Song: "Michael Williams could turn a small part into a starrring role, or in the case of September Song, turn a great series into something you will remember all your life. He was one of a kind."
Vince from Tunbridge Wells on Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased): "Good to see this site still being visited by true R&H fans. As I said in an earlier message, I have visited and photographed practically every surviving location but one still eludes me. If anyone knows where the house seen in 'But What A Sweet Little Room' is, I'd love to know. It was Arthur De Crecy's hideaway in the country. We've been searching for it for twenty odd years without success. It has to be out there somewhere. Someone please end my torment."
Craig from Suffolk, UK on The Royle Family: "The queen of sheba when cheryl from next door changing nanna's urine bag and she rubs it in the carpet"
LizzieB from Sandy Camp.Qld on Coronation Street: "Being English I grew up with Coronation St. Since living in Queensland I was not able to watch it anymore as we did not have cable TV. Now that we have digital channels I can enjoy the programme on 7TWO. Unfortunately , it is only on for 30mins M-F and it is 2002 episodes, I do wish that the TV Channel would consider showing each episode for 1hour each day to enable us to catch up with what has happened in the Street over the years.
Thank you to the UK for a fabulous programme and thank you to 7TWO for showing it."
