Best back ground extra?

Who is your best background extra, mine is the pink turban man, he loves just crossing the road in front of and behind the main cast. I often wonder where he is going, sometimes he does this 3 or 4 times in the space of 30 minutes.

You are about 9 - 10 years behind the UK.
He turns up about 2012, so 2022 your time.

Ethel and her little Willie. Yes i remember.
It's aired 4 times a week here normally, sometimes 5 if there is an "EVENT", like in 2015 they did a week of live episodes to mark the 30 year anniversary.
You are getting pushed further and further behind if there's only two episodes a week.

Originial cast, as in in the first episode? Ian and Sharron.
From the first few years Ian, Sharron, Phil, Grant (Sometimes), Peggy (occasionally), Dot (but because the actress is 90 now the role is reduced a lot.). I think that's about it.
It's like two different shows.

She's had an affair with a 17 year old student she was teaching, her marraige broke up and she came back the the square...
The 17 year old then followed her and she's currently pretending that he's Mark Jr's friend.
