Last of the Summer Wine - Available for Weddings 

I felt the same way. Like family passing away very sad. But it was on tv for 37 years proving it was as very great show.

Why? Are you secretly hoping to your life would be like the LOTSW, I certainly would, better than todays lifestyle.

Same

Lol I did too. Watched my Brit coms every afternoon. Now MPT is showing them every weekday afternoon and WETA UK shows 3 hours of Brit coms on Tuesday and Saturday night. I was so excited once my shows came back onto tv. Plus WETA UK just finished airing the new seasons of Death in paradise and Father Brown

Yes, just a shame it's only 1/4 of the whole picture.

Inanity is not insanity.

Every time has its own temptations. It was a time when people had standards, traditions, and a sense of duty and community. Then "progressives" came along and decided we needed to get rid of those things.

@Jim N Looks okay to me. Could be your screen.

Worth every p. 🤗

Hi the

Yeah you can see resemblance in them two and Hyacinth Bouquet and Edie (Thora Hird)

That would be a good creative innovative idea; Roy Clarke created ‘Last Of The Summer Wine’, ‘Open All Hours’ and ‘Keeping Up Appearances’.

NOW THAT WOULD BE FUNNY!👍😂

Love Smiler's funny, long drawn wide lips.

August 11, 2021. Still one of my most favorite shows but I sure mourned Compo.

the voice of wallece

I loved him in everything.

There is a video of Compo narrating the poem of LOTSW. If you haven't had your heart broken about realizing it before, look it up. Ive planned on it being read at my funeral instead of a eulogy.

I would like to give her love

It's all good but we do have our favorites.

It’s in Yorkshire

@@chrisedwards487 thank you.

Luv all of them. When i see mr entwhisle he reminds me of my dad.

Fletcher Hamilton I love the seasons with Foggy! Seymour was alright but I was glad when Foggy came back. Mind you I love all seasons minus the final ones with Hobbo. Even the seasons following the death of Bill Owen. Many didn’t like the show after the passing of Compo but I still enjoyed the writing. Yet, Hobbo was the only character I never took to. I like Cyril, Mr. Wainwright, Crusher, Truly, Billy, Lenny, Mrs. Avery, all the different police officers and everyone really, aside from Hobbo. I was sad the show ended but I never took to Hobbo being in the main trio

@AnonymousOnyx - yeah? I don't know too much about Hobbo as (I'll admit it), I can't find the last seasons on any streaming site. I really yearned for a "back to basics" vibe after the trio became a sometimes-quartet and they didn't seem to know what to do with Truly and Cleggy - were they the main cast or were they relegated to the sometimes-quartet or an at-home duo? And the supporting cast really expanded in those last years. Couldn't keep up, and I suddenly found it hard to believe they'd all been schoolfriends. So when it was Alvin-Entwistle-Hobbo I thought it might have been a new beginning as we suddenly had a relatively young trio of diverse personalities and backgrounds and fresh circumstances. Though I'd agree that Hobbo was a bit unrealistic in his "madness" (all the "Third Men" were basically "Foggy Facsimiles" with conservative politics, some kind of discipline they carry into retirement derived from a highly regimented past career, and being relatively incompetent socially in spite of their faux-confidence), Hobbo being demonstrably "crazy" rather than just an eccentric retiree with delusions of grandeur was a bit too ... farfetched, I guess. Unrealistic in the general tone of the show. It was also symptomatic of the series devolving into ostensible banal pantomime by the late-'90s ~ all the '00s. It became incredibly crowded with more and more characters being created, more and more supporting cast being promoted and traditional cast being demoted... What I LOVE about Series 3 ~ 8 is how realistic it was. Compo was genuinely impoverished, the others had virtually no money, they were almost genuine village outcasts taking refuge in each other's company as much for convenience as historical camaraderie, and there was little slapstick - just verbal / political / philosophical / class warfare jokes and a little bit of physical comedy for good measure. 12 ~ 18 "worked" because you had the same trio but in a more modern (and thus paradoxically nostalgic), setting, with more supporting characters to interact with. It was waaaay more physical / slapstick but enough of the past was retained for it to work. Plus the ones who had grown up with Foggy or had memories of him could rediscover the nostalgia that the series was all about. So Wilde's return was highly fortuitous in that way. I don't think it should have been continued after Owen's death but then again it was a significant local employer, so there's that. Once they got back to the "trio" format with Hobbo and a cast physically capable of the demands of acting like children-in-retirees'-bodies - _that's_ what I wanted it to get back to but, it wasn't to be. But yes - Foggy's tenure was / is _hands-down_ the finest vintage of the series.

I love em all but just in different ways.

They had them on dvd in our library.

Shop LDT Of all the third members I think Truly of the yard was the best. Especially how he helped Cleggy when Compo died. Only Frank Thornton could play that part.
