A lovely heartwarming episode.
He was so natural and genuine with the people he met- you could see it in his body language and everything. Splendid.  :)

I agree with all the comments.  The most enjoyable and interesting episode I have seen so far and Larry Lamb seemed quite delighted with all that was discovered.

I think Manchester and alcohol were mentioned but I don't think they gave a date.   :-\

Agree with all replies so far, I really enjoyed this one.

The previous episodes of this new series hadn't 'grabbed' me as much as the previous series, but I'm really glad I stuck with it.

Simply loved it.  :)

The WDYTYA magazine website has a very small clip of "unseen footage".........it's not Jessie and John meeting up.
