Geoffrey: The only dangerous thing that happened during filming was an occasion when Onslow's car caught fire. We had been filming the car driving back and forth down a country road. We then set up some shots inside the car to do a dialogue scene. We were just about to start when we smelt burning. The next thing we knew the engine compartment of the car was in flames. We all bailed out and the fire was quickly put out. It's a situation that real Onslows must have to cope with all the time.

Geoffrey: [On Keeping Up Appearances] I had not worked with Roy Clarke and had only worked with one member of the cast before, Shirley Stellfox, the original Rose. I did know everyone else's work. I think part of the success of the show was that we all had a great respect for each other's work.

Geoffrey: The tattoos are of course transfers. The one on the forearm is a bikers motif which says "Live to Ride," and the other says "Mum and Dad." They take a couple of days to scrub off.
