    Day 6: KERA All Creatures Tour — A quick stop at Belvoir Castle before heading back to London

    Hard to believe we are nearing the end of our 2023 KERA All Creatures Great and Small Tour of England but, alas, there is but one more stop on the way back to London and our last night dinner with 26 of our newest friends. But…what an amazing stop it was.  Belvoir Castle has served a […]

    Day 5: KERA’s All Creatures Tour heads to where else but…. ‘All Creatures G&S’ in the Dales!

    Yes, I bounded out of bed this morning fresh off a 2.5 mile walking of the walls around the city of York so, combined with the fact that we were headed to the Yorkshire Dales and the filming locations for All Creatures Great and Small, this is going to be a great day all the way […]

    Day 4: KERA’s All Creatures Tour descends on York

    While visions of Betty’s Tea Room, the National Railway Museum and getting the energy to walk the 2.5 miles of ancient walls that circle the of York were all part of the plan for a free afternoon, the morning of our first day in York was reserved for an historic tour of Yorkminster, one of […]

    Day 3: KERA’s All Creatures tour heads north to York with a stop at Chatsworth House!

    With Grantchester and Cambridge University in our collective rear view mirror, we headed to the Peak District and York with a stop along the way at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.  Beyond description, this historic estate has served as the home of the Dukes of Devonshire and their ancestors since the mid-16th century (1549 to be […]

    Day 2: KERA’s All Creatures Tour visits ‘Call the Midwife’ & ‘Grantchester’ filming locations

    Following a brief stay in London on Day 1 of KERA’s All Creatures Tour of England where I do admit I was tempted, albeit briefly, to join the Gorilla Circus’ Flying Trapeze School in Hyde Park, we boarded the Transcendent Travel coach on Tuesday and headed to the Historic Dockyard in Chatham, the main filming location […]

    Adopt a British Telephone Box For £1 or own one for a mere £1,750+

    Ok, I know it’s only August, but it’s never really too early to be thinking Christmas! If you’re wondering what could Tellyspotting possibly want this year, have we got a deal for you! Even if you just adopt one in Tellyspotting’s name for £1 and make it a free book library, that works for me as […]

  • North Hobart’s ‘Room for a Pony’ restaurant would appeal to both Hyacinth and Onslow!

    North Hobart’s ‘Room for a Pony’ restaurant would appeal to both Hyacinth and Onslow!

    Even though it’s highly doubful that one of the best restaurants in Australia get its name from Hyacinth Bucket’s description of her sister Violet’s successful lifestyle, it is fun to think that the owners of Room for a Pony in North Hobart are long-time fans of the classic British comedy, Keeping Up Appearances. Unlike Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream out of […]

    With Arkwright’s doors finally closed, ‘Touring Toolshed’ up next for Sir David Jason

    While it may not be the Only Fools and Horses or A Touch of Frost reunion that we’d hoped for or a new series of the Open All Hours remake, Still Open All Hours, but it will be really good to see the greatness of David Jason back on the telly in the not-too-distant future. This time he will be paired with […]
