| Phew! We
have been taken aback at Holmfirth Web by your e-response to our
Summer Wine preview report. Many thanks indeed for all your
marvellous notes. Within hours of the special event taking place, a
report and photographs appeared on our web pages. The following day,
the first e-mails arrived. By the end of the weekend, we had dozens
– and they are still coming in! We love the feedback and thank
everyone for taking the time and trouble to write.
Here is a selection:
BETTER THEN THE BEEB!

….Just a line to thank everyone for the great Summer Wine Page,
and I look forward to being able to 'E' my comments. Thanks for the
news and tributes, it's more than the 'beeb' managed. P.S. The
Holmfirth site is excellent, full of useful information for we
prospective visitors. Thanks again, Pat Carline.
MOST IMPRESSED

Philip Peaker, of the popular Holme Valley Camping and Caravan Park
– which has just won the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation
– said he was most impressed with the content on the Summer Wine
and Holmfirth Web Pages. “I got another e-mail yesterday from
someone who had seen my advert on the Holmfirth Web pages, and they
too remarked on the excellent content. Well done!”

….well done Holmfirth Web. I was enthralled by the report on
Summer Wine on TV’s Look North and then to see the marvellous
pictures and the interesting write-up within hours of the event
taking place was fantastic. I was moved by the speeches and
impressed with the speedy technology.

….I was in tears reading the item by Kathy Staff about Compo on
the web page. I never considered myself a big fan of Summer Wine in
the past but I have been touched by the event at the Picturedrome,
and the tributes to the fine actor. I am really looking forward to
the next series.

…Bill Owen was a very fine actor and he brought a unique magic to
the Summer Wine programme. I honestly thought that would be the end
of the series following the sad demise of Bill. Your report not only
restored my confidence in the future of the programme but I have
reason to suspect that Tom will bring an extra entertaining
dimension to the programme. I was very impressed with all the
attention made by the BBC and the people of Holmfirth to remember
Bill Owen – it is what the fine actor deserved.

While on an extended holiday in Greece, we have been keeping in
touch with the Summer Wine developments via Holmfirth Web. We live
over in Cheshire and love the series. At the moment, we have a crowd
round the computer screen (including Alice and Roger from Brockholes!)
studying the pictures and the details about Friday’s tribute
night. Many thanks for bringing us these details, it is really
appreciated.

…We felt we had been at the Picturedrome paying our tributes to
Compo, whom we had never met, but deeply loved as a character.

…we live in Texas and used to watch the show on the comedy network
cable. We could not imagine what it would be like without Compo, the
undisputed star of the show. Thanks for your report and we are
looking forward to seeing the new “star” Tom, his real life son.
It may be some time before we get to see it though. We are a year
behind at least! |
