Dear God I feel old! Saw this the first time around and couldn't remember what it was called over the years, I could only recall Robin Baily, John Comer and the opening titles for some reason! Wonderful to find old shows from your youth on these channels...scary though, how fast the passage of time....this first episode was broadcast in August, 1975....47 years...
This show is new to me. Thank you so much for sharing. So nice to see Liz Smith. I only know her from Vicar of Dibley, and she left so early in that show. Cheers!
A real treasure trove of former Summer Wine alumni were involved in the making of this BBC Television production. Plus, dependable BBC stalwart Ronnie Hazlehurst providing the theme music 🎶. A close-knit team this seems. ❤ 😊
It is quite true most women do yack, yack, yack. It's like the old Les Dawson gag: "Archaeologists have found a human skeleton. They reckon it's about 10 thousand years old and female. They know it's female because it's mouth is open".
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-POO4lrTclNY.html
