The good thing about the remake is that Gary Sparrow can go back in time & re use jokes from the original series & pass them off as new

So are Elizabeth Carling and Emma Amos back as Gary's wives? Can't wait for this episode to air, it's been far too many years coming.

That's how it currently stands.

I would say a full series is almost guaranteed though.

I really really hope you're right.

What do we think of new cast being added?

Sounds like a really clever move to me. Can't wait to see it!

I think Yvonne's daughter Elle will also be Gary's. The actress is 17 and that's how long the show has been off air.

Laurence & Maurice published where the recording will be (in Manchester) but there may not be any tickets left by now.

I met Laurence & Maurice & John Phelps & Gary Lawson last Friday morning after they had been at rehearsals, but I didn't meet any of the cast.

I've looked at Bill's site and can't find anything on GS.

Not my site... www.marksandgran.com

Laurence & Maurices blog not mine.

Yes they are all upbeat about it, but I can't tell other things that might have been said to me, they might be confidential. So I only mention things that are on their blog or they have told me are now public knowledge.

I've been sorting out broadband/local network problems for L&M for a week and Friday's meeting was for me to hand over a broadband router that I have pre-configured for them. I'm glad to say it all worked as planned when they plugged it in in their office in Gloucestershire.

The new episode has its own Facebook page, where there's quite a bit of chatter about it:

There's a campaign afoot to bring the show back for a full series.

Lets hope GNS gets at least the same amount of series as Still Open All Hours has. who would have thought that would have lasted more than 1 series considering the original was such a classic.

Is there a trailer for this at all?

Not as yet, no. May well be something over the weekend - perhaps around AYBS? and Porridge.

Someone on the Facebook group just told me that they've seen a short one when Gary goes into the Royal Oak and says, "Welcome to the sixties!". I hope that's wrong because I don't want to watch TV all day just waiting for it :)
