Oh thanks. That would be interesting to see.

Oh,that’s interesting. I didn’t know that. Neither wanting to take the blame then perhaps. It did hurt the show’s ratings but I think that third season is generally very good. Although it did miss the presence of Nancy Walker.

I don’t think so. I saw a TV interview on YouTube from the 90s with Valerie and David and she seemed very disappointed to have lost him from the show. So,I get the feeling it was the producers and writers. I think they were just struggling to come up with scenarios for a happily married Rhoda.

It feels like it was a very brave decision for the producers to change such a winning formula in that third season. Especially in the ultra commercial world of US Network TV,when the series was one of the Top 10 rated shows throughout its first two seasons.

Lol. Was certainly an interesting watch. I’m thinking it’s maybe the first time this series has been on British TV since the 60s.

If only. But I think they’re seen as being among the most essential characters under the current regime.

I’m convinced that the producers think the highly vocal Swarla obsessives are more representative of the general audience than they really are.

Although Vera did confess uncertainty to his paternity as she’d had an affair,Jack did say that
he still knew Terry was his son which seemed to put an end to any further speculation

It seemed to be almost the norm for BBC sitcoms in the 70s. But,sometimes with dramas too. I noticed recently that the final episode of the long running series The Brothers was recorded a mere 3 days ahead of its broadcast in December 1976.

Not sure about on the DVDs but episodes 6 and 7 were originally shown the wrong way round. The one where Brenda loses her job and the one where she’s unemployed.

I quite enjoy the opening sequence on S2,just for the sheer amount of clips that they manage to pack into the time.

Don’t worry. Only 23 more episodes of that version!😂
I think they had a different arrangement of the theme tune on every season.

Have always hoped that Holding The Fort would get shown again somewhere,as I never watched on original broadcast and it seems to be one of those series that’s never had a repeat or DVD release- despite it’s well known leads.

Thank you. That’s interesting to hear and good to have confirmed that those versions still exist.

I recall there being lots of complaints when the S1 DVD came out which seemed to catch Shout Factory off guard. The following seasons had the full length eps in much better picture quality. So,I suspect it may be carelessness rather than those episodes no longer existing in their original versions.
