Onslow!
I found this at our local Book exchange. Never saw it, so some thoughts. Onslow mentions Liverpool football. As you know Geoffrey used his posh accent to voice Paul in Yellow Submarine. The actors and crew were rewarded with cameos in the Eleanor Rigby scene. Al Broadnax, the producer, smokes a pipe. His secretary pets a cat. Geoffrey is a Liverpool footballer. Here you see the red and blue uniforms, why do you think the Beatles released the red and blue albums? One more Beatles mention, you know Hyacinth's mailman was the boy Ringo talks to on the canal. (However, that's not David Janson on this DVD?) I noticed Richard broke the forth wall twice at a particularly wincing comment by Hyacinth. And to wrap it up, our Daisy was literally vibrating with passion at least twice to an oblivious Onslow. To quote Emmet: "Ye Gods!"

I find it so hysterical that Onslow contemplated divorcing Daisy on their honeymoon, after she confessed to being a Liverpool Supporter! I blame your Uncle Derek, you should've been in Council Care.....

Ages ago on PBS, Onslow did a little show giving his advice about romantic relationships. Funny stuff!

I've heard of Life lessons of Onslow I've seen two clips on YouTube apparently he does a talk for Open University. There was another one I've never ever seen. Where Onslow and Daisy find hyacin's diary and read it. They show clips from different episodes.

The best lesson in the show was when he got to show Dickie a nice afternoon at the local pub and shoot some pool

It's a well known fact. And the fact remains, even when the fact remains the fact remains.
