They also filmed quite a few scenes in Low Gipton crescent-I know this because we watched them filming and we all got to meet and talk to David Jason who turned out to be a thoroughly decent bloke as it goes

I think one or more episodes involved him visiting a house in one of the side roads on the right going up Queenswood Drive.

One episode centred on a department store - location scenes were shot inside Clover/Allders (as was) in Kirkstall - in particular the Furniture dept. I once saw David Jason with some people from YTV ( I assume)having a drink in the Cardigan Arms.

Wasn't he "Bicycle Repair Man" in 'Do Not Adjust Your Set,' a 60s forerunner of Monty Python, with Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Denise Coffey and the wonderful Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band?
