Watched tonight as wanted to watch an episode with Dave in it after Glynn Edwards sad passing. Even though he wasn't in it too much, he still sparkles in his scenes.
I do like this epsiode, not very PC in 2018, but still very funny.
I'll have a look through the boxset and find a more Dave featured episode in the good mans honour.

There are a few RD episodes to watch which feature Dave heavily, but I couldn't think off the top of my head DW episodes, so thanks for the tip off.

...and "A Day of Fines and Closures" is as Dave centric as they come

...and "A Day of Fines and Closures" is as Dave centric as they come I agree 101%, though in terms of screen time, Dave is probably not in it any more than usual.

He made his mark in most episodes with his one liners and even if in limited scenes, his presence with Dave and The Winchester being mentioned meant he was always in the storyline even if not on screen.

Not sure what programme it is but back then in the UK there were only 3 channels and only educational shows were on until lunch time. Well, on week days.
Speak for yourself, Swainy, as we had three ITV channels! JB

The programme his gran is watching seems to be something educational about amplifiers, frequency and 'B6'. I spotted a boom mike blooper in the next scene too ... around 12 minutes in, what's all this reflection on the car's bonnet then?

Must have been Open University she was watching, it certainly had the OU programme feel about it. The boom mike thing was fairly constant throughout the 70s, I am thinking Callan and Survivors off the top of my head where the boom appeared so much it gets a repeat fee royalty cheque

How does Arthur know that Alex has been involved in a car accident?When he speaks to the nurse on the phone she just says that he's been involved in an accident.

I watched this one for the first time in ages over Easter, and it is a good episode. Arthur and Terry are a bit wary of Jim, but they helped him. I like it when Terry says about Jim "can't you see, the geezer is a raving iron!". Then he says "I've got nothing against irons". This plus several "poofters" means that ITV4 do not show it now! I also like the bit where Dave and Terry are talking in Winchester. Dave says "how does Terry like having to stay with Jim?". Arthur says "he loves it" and they start laughing. The lingo is of its time but I think Terry comes across as a tolerant sort of bloke.

For some reason ITV4 have missed this episode out. Probably too un-PC for today...sadly this ep will never be shown again on main stream TV...as it happens just seen this one today, Umbrella version, no cuts...its a tour-de-force of an episode with Arthur & Terry on top form...

I always thought there was something unnatural about the way he hung from that beam VAT, its almost like he's hiding a line securing him to it... but its still a way up!

The hanging scene is as Wynn says, mildly unnatural looking but I do feel more "don't knock it till you try it".

Not many jno... Incidentally, do we know the origin of the phrase "case"? Off the top of my head, Terry and Arthur use this to describe Alex and Jim living together, but Terry also uses it when being asked to horse sit several hundred weight of unprocessed dog meat in National Pelmet

Watched it last night on ITV4, a brilliant episode. All the 'poofter' words were intact, so maybe they just don't show it during daytime.
On quite a few occasions when they were in the shop it was plainly raining and murky outside but when they came out of the shop it was sunny and bone dry, also towards the end Terry runs out of the shop and down the alleyway it's a dry bright day and when Arthur comes out not long after it was clearly a very wet day, not sure if these can be classed as bloopers.
Excellent episode though.

When the hospital phones for Arthur in the Winchester how does he know that Alec's been involved in a car crash?The nurse doesn't mention this on the phone

It obviously means to be living with someone or sharing a bed. Total guess here - 'Case of red' (wine) = Bed?

As good suggestion as as any BtB... and I've wracked my limited brains and can't come up with anything

I've looked online at Cockney rhyming slang dictionaries etc. but can't find any trace of this and to be honest I don't recall hearing it used on any other programme or film.

Could be jj but I doubt it somehow. As was the term 'er'indoors' heard in a drinking club and then used in the series, maybe 'he's gone case' has a similar history. Somebody, somewhere must know its origin.

Somebody, somewhere must know its origin. It might be worth having a shufti at the script - any pre-changes might be in there indicating intention. Earth to VAT. I don't think I have this one but will check for this or National Pelmet in the next few days.

I’ve always known “gone case” as someone/something that is out of control. I might be wrong though.
