Foggy Dewhurst…..a former Number 2?
Last
night I caught part of an episode of the BBC television series Last of The Summer Wine, in which the character Foggy Dewhurst was
wearing the exact same designed scarf as worn by Number 2, it even had the extra
black line amidst the white, blue and yellow stripes. However it is possible
that the scarf was made up of two scarves stitched together end to end, because
of the scarf’s extraordinary length!
Be seeing you
Foggy's scarf is his regimental pattern. My theory is that it's a stock costume piece used by the BBC, because it's the same pattern as Captain Peacock's regimental necktie from Are You Being Served?. (Foggy wears the same necktie as well.) There might br some interesting parallels you can draw between the British sociopolitical structure and the goals of the Village and the actual BBC.
