The show was originally billed as "The living story of the Sugden family - the excitement of country life around" when it aired on October 16, 1972.

Thanks for posting that piece, Road Sweeper. I missed it in the paper.

Ah Frazer Hines, the bum toucher. I've been fondled and kissed by him many a time since 1999 (have him kissing me then throwing me over his shoulder on video) and enjoyed every second of it. ;D They should never have killed Joe off. Frazer's right, he could have stayed in Spain. Wasn't hurting anyone and it was a stupid thing to do.

Bring back Joe! With me as Mrs Joe.
