Trivia:

The episode of Dirk Bogarde selling his house to prospective David Essex was censored when it was repeated. In the original Dirk gets a bit excited when Essex jumps on his bed. The repeat cut Bogarde's arousal as it was repeated shortly after his death

Where was Roger Moore?

This Stella Street 'Movie' is basically a retelling of the original concept right from the start with a couple of new subplots thrown in for good measure, although those who followed the original series will be a little disappointed to hear many jokes taken directly from earlier episodes.

All in all it does capture the essence of the series quite well and has most of the original characters (plus some additional ones provided by the always good Ronni Ancona), so I just have one question - where was Roger Moore?
