Ripping Yarns

[andy-hughes]

I'm sure I have read that Ripping Yarns is being re-run, I think it starts on Thursday.

Does anyone know the channel and time please?

Following.
I particularly liked the one with a rabid lefty teaching in a public school.

[Oleanda]

It is on BBC 4 on Saturdays, started last week.

I liked "The Curse of the Claw" and "Golden Gordon" (avid supporter of Barnstoneworth United FC).

[sandyRoe]

Yes. The supporter who could list all the players from teams long gone was another classic.

It's on BBC4 Saturday at 10:35, ep 3 is this week but you can catch up on I player.

dunno specifics - but the one with the shovels & the one with the family speaking French were hilarious (could be the same one)

[andy-hughes]

Thanks all.

That was the said “Golden Gordon” Ottershaw, Sandy.

//…but the one with the shovels//

“The Testing of Eric Olthwaite”, dave. Eric’s family leave him because he is so boring, being interested only in Black Pudding, rainfall records and shovels.

wasn't there one which featured a character whose pastime was collecting rare and exotic diseases?
