Winchester was bogus.

I feel Winchester was a very real character..not necessarily the most likable, but there are people like him...one of my doctors, for example. He is a good doctor, but quite arrogant!

The main point about Winchester was that it gave the scriptwriters a whole new avenue to explore.
At first I did not like the character but within a short time I grew to appreciate the dry humour the actor brought to the role.
As the series went on he softened the character and even become involved with the antics.
Just hilarious.

Lorraine liked Hotlips (and so did I) but then Lorraine likes Feisty women after all she is one.

To arms To arms all good men of Yorkshire. remember even Oily Cromwell did not defeat us. We shall go forth and smite the heathen Scots in their republican lair.

Come on all those faithful to the Crown, Its St Swithens day again but this time we go up ill to yonder wild and woolly parts. Remember to shield your eyes when the heathen raises his skirts, many a battle has been lost agin those fiendish wildman because of the shock thereof.


20 Yorkshire puddings to the man that captures the wild man known as Mo Mo.
Also beware of water that looks like widdle ,it will make thee senseless and those cunning tribesman will fall on thee in thy slumbers.
However anyone who finds the source of the ale known as Mcewans draught export will be excused latrine duties for the duration,

Signed JIM............. Her majesty's loyal subject.

OK, Jim, it's a square go! We'll meet you near Stirling Castle near the small river called the Bannock. We'll bring the beer!

You can be led by Prince Harry, The Inept. Harry Hotspur shall be twirling in his grave and, as long as you don't bring any of those Eccles cakes for amunition, it will be a fair fight. The Scottish Schiltrons shall advance waving bottles of 30 year old malt and balancing plates full of the dreaded haggis on their heads.

The Queen shall be riding on a broomstick covered with treacle buns which she shall disburse to the assembly from on high ( as befits her ). Prince Charles will be strapped into a Zero Zen fighter on a one-way ticket, and told to head south. All the other Royal Hangers-on can sweep up the mess ( it'll give them some work experience which they can add to their C.V.s when they go looking for a job ).

I predict that the outcome will be a Mexican Stand-Off, and subsequent generations shall dip the survivors in bronze to grace the battlefield in their last postures. " Only an attitude remains " ( sorry, Philip Larkin )

Have you noticed that in the British TV News there has no no further mention of Harry's name? What further proof can we have of an Establishment Manipulation?

I ask you, do they think that we are all fools? ( I hear a resounding " YES !" )

I agree there are people like him. Yes, and some of them are (were) in the military. I could be more specific, but won't.

I just don't feel the Winchester character had any real depth. To me, he was a fill-in... a warm body, if you will.

BACKS STRAIGHT, you scabby flea ridden Knaves look to your leader and hear wise words,

Yet again those Poltroons have besmirched the good name of our gracious majesty.
Hold fast there my brave inebriates, men fear not for we shall gain swift justice and cold revenge over the heathen hordes of the north.

Whats that? OH aye and plunder young Eric yes indeed plunder it shall be, what, aye and yes there will be much pillage Albert yes much pillage , What, No Fred we will not be having any of that. (they can claim maintenance now you know, or didnt you)?

Now Silence while I give forth the plan of battle. Hey you lot at the back, I said "SILENCE".

Now where was I? AH HA the plan.

Tis indeed a cunning and devious plan to behold, and good news my Pox ridden heroes, the Royals are coming to lead our glorious army to victory. "What Eh"? Oh its you Bill, What do you mean how much they payin, look just be quiet fool.

Now the plan, (no Bill you wont be on a bonus ,shut up or I will send you to the back).

Now men the plan , The Queen bless her will lead the charge, she will go forth a chanting her Christmas message thus rendering vast swathes of the enemy to fall down in a soporific stupor giving forth mumblings for mercy..
BTW front ranks must push lumps of pig fat in each ear so thou wilt not fall also in great affliction.

The right flank of the heathen hoards will be assailed by the Prince of Wales, NO Eric not the prince of whales you hilltop bumpkin I said the prince of Wales, you know , the place were they eat leeks an play the arp.

Anyway Charles will charge their flanks , stop and look up at a tree and give forth strange utterances, the heathen will approach and look up to see who he is talking to and that is your signal to sally forth and smite as many as you can. (how many times do I have to tell you Bill ,you will not be on a bonus).

Princess Anne will lead the cavalry, stay alert men for she may veer off and start jumping the fences, It is etiquette to then hold up cards with a suitable score written thereon.

The Harry the younger will lead the 1st Foot and Mouth regiment into the left flank, beware of low flying Haggis men and rally to thy Prince and form thy shields in defence if such dastardly actions be forthcoming.

The heavy artillery will be in fullest support as thee surge into the heathen throng. The 1st and 3rd regiment of the royal wellie throwers and the Yorkshire pudding hurlers will offer up a terrible barrage so remember to keep thy heads down.

NO BILL, THERE WILL NOT BE A TEA BREAK AT HALF TIME,

AYE lads and when you are old you will say, EE bye gum I was there,
(Aye and some b.gg.r stole my sheep while I was away)

WHO SAID THAT? you again Bill right thats it you can carry the Queens orbs and its uphill all the way.

OH and dont forget keep an eye out for the Mcewans lads. (no Eric you dont need to take your eye out ,now put it back)

[Canucklehead]

I think I now understand why you want out MoMo.

[Aircrafty]

I liked most of the characters but as the series progressed the Hawkeye character seemed to dominate everything and frankly I can only take so much pretention. I think the actor that played Hawkeye is now the lead singer in U2
