Shall we start then?

Five minutes to go - who's in?

Admittedly, it was rare, but not the only time. Take a listen to the bad guys in the blue car as Bo and Luke arrive in Springville when we watch 'Deputy Dukes' later today.

Rosco says "I hate you" to Cletus in 'Dukes in Danger' in season 4 - that might be the scene you're remembering. He also says "I hate you" to Boss' driver near the start of 'My Son, Bo Hogg' in season 3.

I think I'd find it tough to deliberately add damage to such a pristine paint job, but as usual, you nailed it!

That's about as technical as I was thinking.

I've started one here.

For Sunday April 5th's watchalong, we've picked 'Deputy Dukes' from season 1. To open it up to members in Europe, the start time will be 9pm CET/8pm BST/3pm Eastern/2pm Central/1pm Mountain/12 noon Pacific.

It's a different truck, Roger. Farmer Perkins drives a tan colored 1958 Chevy Apache Stepside pickup. He appears in 'By-Line, Daisy Duke' in season 3.

The truck reappears in 'Deputy Dukes' being driven through Springville (Hazzard Square redressed with dirt!). Its third and final appearance is in the background of the bad guys' distribution center in 'Mason Dixon's Girls' in season 2.

That looks fun - great work. You might be able to use my Fan Art version of Daisy's Jeep for the decals you need for the hood. BTW. A image hosting site like Flickr is the best way to go for posting pictures, and yours are showing up perfectly.

Well, 'Deputy Dukes' is next in line. 8pm my time (BST) sounds good to me - that's 3pm Eastern/2pm Central if y'all are around to join me.

8pm Central is 2am over here, so even though I going to bed later at the moment, that's way too late for me to be starting an episode. Ideally, I wouldn't want to start later than 10pm, which is 4pm Central. I'm open to suggestions on the episode.

Here's Rick's first credited TV appearance. It's as a policeman in a 1972 episode of Sanford and Son called 'The Piano Movers'. He just has a small part towards the end. He would have been about 26 at the time.

He played a cop in Enos, but I've never seen more than clips of the show to know what his character was like. His acting credits include "Croquet Player" in an episode of Magnum PI - that doesn't sound like a bad guy role, but I could be wrong .

You're talking about Leo Gordon, Roger. He also played Devere in 'The Meeting' (which I watched last weekend). Leo appeared in five episodes of 'Gunsmoke' between 1956 and 1974. Apparently, Leo also played Sgt. Theodore Kirk in three episodes of Dukes spin-off 'Enos'.

Always pleased to help .

We've gone into full lockdown here since last night. I was still working roughly as usual until yesterday, but then our leader announced tighter controls, and I got a text from work saying that we'd be closed for a couple of weeks. Here are some of the restrictions: Members of the public must stay at home in all circumstances, except: Travelling to and from work where work is an essential health, social care or other essential service that can't be done from home. To shop for essential food and household goods or attend medical appointments and collect medicines. For vital family reasons such as providing care to children, elderly or vulnerable people but excluding social family visits. To take brief physical exercise within 2km of your own home, as well as for farming purposes and food production. Now I have time to do projects around the house, but all the stores are closed, so I can't buy the things I need to do them! Supermarkets are now limiting the number of customers allowed inside, and people have to queue outside at two meters apart until they're let in. Having said that, eggs and pasta were the only products noticeably out of stock at the store I visited today.

I didn't know it was Cale's birthday, but I've just finished watching 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough' on TV. It's been a while since I've had a chance to watch many full episodes, so having them back on TV is a good excuse to catch up again.

I had to google the Barn Busters Play Set - you've done a great job of recreating your missing barn.

It took me a while to see where you were going with all that hole cutting, but the finished article makes perfect sense. Great work as usual. I look forward to seeing this build develop.

Very impressive. Great job, Andrew.

With the 2020 F1 season currently on hold, some of the teams are refocussing their production efforts to making ventilators for coronavirus patients. Below is an extract - the full article is here. Meanwhile, the Agnelli family, which controls Ferrari and Fiat, donated 10m euro to the Italian government to help deal with the coronavirus emergency at a national level, as well as buying 150 extra ventilators and providing a fleet of cars to distribute food and medicine.

I've just got back from my usual Saturday walk around town, and I'd guess that about two thirds of the stores are closed. That number's gone up considerably since Tuesday when I was last in town. A lot of shops have got tape on the floor to indicate where to stand, and I passed a cafe still doing takeaway with about eight people queueing outside at 2 meter intervals. The grocery stores are pretty much re-stocked as normal, with just a few lines missing. Despite all the signs advising shoppers to keep a safe distance from others, several people were blocking aisles talking to friends, meaning I virtually had to touch them to get past! At least Dukes is back on TV over here to keep me entertained, although tomorrow we've got 'Double Sting' on at 1.00pm and 6.00pm GMT. It seems a bit too close to home at the moment.
