Last of the Summer Wine theme - as sung by Mike Sammes Singers 

Who else is crying to this beautiful tune/song in 2020 ? I certainly am.. and I'm 58 years old xx

I cried at the end of this. For all those wonderful actors who have died, and for times gone by

I've watched the entire run of this show more than once. This wonderful rendition of their theme makes me cry to think they are all gone now. They were all old when I was young. Now I am 74 and wonder how many will remember them when I am gone.

I started watching this when I was home from a surgery for several weeks. I cannot watch it enough! Just a marvelous show!

My husband and I loved this show and watched it every week!

The last three episodes had me in buckets of tears .. Compo always reminded me of a little naughty boy ♥️♥️rip all .

Brings back fond memories of my time living and working in Britain. Wonderful country and people, especially out of the south east. Alas a lost age...

Does make you think of those you have loved and lost and how quickly the decades flow past :(

So very touching. They all deserve this wonderful tribute, for this is an exceptional show that will truly live on..in our hearts and our memories. Love you all ❤

R.I.P Peter Sallis. Went to Holmfirth during the summer and he is actually buried next to Bill Owen. Words cannot express how emotional that was to see :(

discovered the show on pbs in the mid-nineties when i moved to buffalo, ny. cannot live without 'summer wine'! my sons have watched it with me since they were old enough to stay awake until it ended @ 8:pm .... i never saw my autistic son laugh @ anything on t.v. until he saw compo @ age 8; it was unbelievable. once, when he was about 11 years old, we saw the episode where compo is yanked off a bridge by a rope tied around his waist. we were all screaming with laughter, & my autistic son actually fell off the sofa, laughing!! he turned to jello, slid down on his back, then right off. it's still shown twice each week, & we're grateful to pbs ; :^) peace & love to the rest of you fans :)

I watched the show when I was a boy I now watch it on dvd all the time I am 63 years young.

I grew up watching these great comic actors thank you for all the great Sunday nights

perhaps all this old world needs is just a few more compos

So sad that today on the 5th of June 2017 Peter Sallis, Cleggy the last of the original trio has passed away at the age of 96. May he never be forgotten.

Remembering good times that have sadly now gone forever.

The last scene must have been really hard for the remaining cast members, brought a tear 😢

We played this at dads funeral, he loved the series and such a warm song

One of my Mam’s favourite shows. Every time I hear this I fill up. I can’t believe she’s been gone for almost 2 years. Passed suddenly in her sleep. These people are what truly made the show. R.I.P to all of them. After Peter Sellers they never made any more. 😢

I taught myself to play this tune on the Harmonica , and played in Hospital (whilst recovering from pneumonia )in the ICU ward the nurses loved it, and said it brightened up the Ward. . . .

one of my favourite shows, still watch reruns, and yes this brings tears to my eyes, what a wonderful tribute to all the cast, yes I am 87

Sadly we have now lost the Great Peter Sallis :( Rest in peace Peter.

I’m a 22 year old American college student who just discovered this show lol. I’m pretty much into a lot of modern stuff but this is a great show!

This song is just so gorgeous. The perfect theme too the world's best and longest running comedy series.

So very sad l just loved Summer Wine. Lived in Holmfirth for a long time watched the episodes being made Fabulous. Thank you for sharing your video and the fantastic music. 😊😊😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

So sad there are so few of this wonderful cast still with us now :(

They have,not left us They are all together in heaven .spreading their humour . God bless and lo ve them Liz Durham

We're sitting here watching the 1976 episodes. Thank you for DVDs....

I LOVE Mike Sammes Singers. So relaxing.

Just watched funeral of Compo again on Gold. They should rerelease this for charity. Amazing how it carried on without Compo. The actors and actresses brought in did a great job and gave us more laughs but not quiet the same.

My favorite series, from first episode to last. I guess it's time to watch it again.

They couldn't make a show like this in the USA . Those small English villages are so necessary to it's success. People are just a walk away from each other and no heavy traffic.

Everything, the music, their faces, the scenes takes me back to a simpler time. Rose coloured glass yes but still simpler.

So sad that so many of the cast have now gone, A reminder that we should never take anything or anyone for granted, R, I, P ,

classic. i grew up with this show, living in a terrace house mid street in middle England.

This was probably my dad's favourite show. I watched it with him since I was small. And now he's gone and I have the theme song which seems so appropriate and so so sad.

RIP Peter Sallis, Burt Kwouk, Frank Thornton and Jane Freeman and Kathy Staff.

Best show I ever watched I felt like I was right there with them been watching for 25 years or more got to be the best cit com ever

Part of this song was played at the beginning of the special episode titled Bringing Sam Home. That episode was first broadcast slightly more then 6 months before I was born. I love this show and have been a fan for 15 years. Peter sallis was born around the same time (early 1920's) as my grandparents. May all the departed cast, crew and fans of this show rest in peace.

Simply beautiful. So many wonderful stars no longer with us. Definitely a tearful tribute

Its a Legendary series ,the likes we won't see again, the stories were classic and the cast was too , Compo really made the series until he passed away. Been to Holmfirth well worth visiting if you are a LOTSW Fan .

Ha the memories far ever remember rip the cast of legendary program

Absolutely brilliant. I love the tune but the singing and backing music make it even better. Thank you so much for posting. I appeared in several episodes in a cameo role as a Bus Driver and this brings back so many happy memories.

Brilliant, thanks for posting, tears in my eyes.

I have goose pimples and my eyes are watering,. I wonder why! A wonderful tribute to wonderful actors.

R.I.P Pearl (Juilette Kaplan). Sadly passed away today 10/10/2019

I watched as a kid in the 90s. After first listening to this it popped up in my dream. Feel a bit nostalgic

Thank you sky gold who haven't stopped showing the series since the BBC finished it eight years ago and it's still going strong.I remember when the BBC did that some years ago with a series it said no one was watching what was it called oh yes Dr Who

This song is marvellous .😉😉😉

The Compo tear at the end! Breaks me! :( All those wonderful stars that have passed! RIP x

Loved Last of the Summer Wine!

This was played at my Nan's funeral and I barely knew it existed til then. Sounds very nostalgic.

For my lovely mum Rip sweetheart I'll love you forever God bless you xxxxxx

Love it . But the sight of Bill Owen and his bugle touches my heart. He is so missed. 🙏🙏🙏

That was such a lovely tribute you made to the show, the different lyrics, the cast and crew, the scenery, our summer wine. Thank you.

I love this song and Last of the Summer Wine. I am going on the tour of the show on Saturday 27th September 2014. Jane Freeman (Ivy) and Peter Sallis (Norman Clegg) are both 93 years old and i wish them good health and hope they live for many more years to come. Should bring back Last of The Summer Wine to the telly.

Hi’ thanks for this ‘ , A wonderful series , still watched by millions , ( Unforgettable, cheers .

Love the song and the television show Was so wonderful! My eyes are watering, too, but I don’t think you get hay fever in January ❤️😊

Absolutely fantastic, Summerwine is my all time favorite , absolutely fantastic.

I used to watch that with my grandfather.

What a fantastic series unbelievablely unique

Never heard that before, very good indeed. It's a programme that's so British in it's humour but so brilliantly written.

I am very fond of this series. It ran for 37 years. I love the lyrics to this theme song as well. It was so very sad when Bill Owen, who played Compo, (the older man in the knit cap seen in the clip) really passed away unexpectedly in 1999. He was truly missed and honored as you can see in the last part of this clip.

Love this programme. Funny and gentle!

Still I watch it, and I love it. May 1 2022

Makes me reflect to times gone by. Not all happy I’m afraid. Want to shed a tear but no tears left.

WOW!!!!!!! The harmony is magical. Got to love the lyrics........

I've just bought the CD 'It Had to be You' on the strength of this and I can only recommend it highly to everyone. There is a real chemistry in the vocals, a real blend and mix so that each singer complements the other and the whole is more than the sum of the parts. I can remember an article in Record Collector about 7 years ago which said that Mike Sammes died after a fall at his home. The builders were throwing all his old scores away. Sad really, but he's achieved a kind of immortality here.

Well we're now moving into our last of the summer wine cheers lads ❤

@SawDocker yes, great writing, great characters, good times. It came to a natural end as Roy and the cast just got too old, bless 'em, for them to continue the high quality of the show with dignity. The practicalities of time got in the way. As a friend of mine says " I wish they had the technology to regress the age of Peter Sallis 25 years, them keep him alive at that age for a thousand!" He'd be the emperor of comedy! Thanks for the banter!

R.I.P Clegg There will be a reunion up above the clouds.

This is my very best Sitcom

Bring it back. 37 years of pure brilliance from the writer Roy Clarke. Not forgetting the wonderful Peter Sallis who appeared in every single episode. Great unreplaceable program which could never be matched. Nothing even comes close. The BBC are crazy. Where do they get the money in the first place? Yep,from us. But when it comes to what they show or what we want to watch,whose choice is that???? Google "Bring back last of the summer wine" and sign the petition if you agree. Great theme tune

Beautiful xx

A beautiful tribute ,for some very well loved characters

Wonderful series.

I love this video i watch it constantly

Very touching at the end "see ya compo"

BEAUTIFUL

Love these characters 😢

Lovely moment 0.43 between Sid and ivy

Been to last of the summer wine beautyfull place seeing compos grave and his house now a muesem

That ending always gets me 😢

'For nothing in the world can last...not even summer wine.'

Thank you so much for this, it moved me to tears! Summer Wine is magical and so are the people who are in it. Peter, you are the best!

R.I.P Peter :.(

VERY SAD TO SEE IT GO , GREAT SERIES .

This is way better than the rubbish they show nowadays

Music for the heart n soul 💓 😊

My great grandparents had the exact same relationship Edie and Wesley had.

I used to watch this on BBC1 on a Sunday evening as a kid and then I got my oldest son watching it. Thank god for g.o.l.d otherwise I'd be screwed

Compo, Foggy and Clegg were the Heart ♥ and Life Blood of Last of the Summer Wine!!!

Been so many times, to Summer Wine country.. To think, I only live 4 miles from Holmfirth, the village, which was used to film, Last of the Summer Wine.. You can actually, eat at Sid's cafe, and have a holiday / vacantion in Norah Batty's house.. Loved the program and the characters too..

Great show.

That was Lovely

Lovely.

Beautiful. Thank you!

great video, good to see the new cast in as well

@Skraboing649 A Great Writer with the ability to create new individual characters and good old fashioned sense of humour. Obviously Hurling down a Dale in a bath on wheels is something etched in all our minds. But there are so many more stories and laughs in there too. They kept the program alive as Brain Wilde Left and returned,oh,and left and returned. But who would have thought it would have survived after the great Bill Owen passed. But that is something it did,survived.

Nice to see the old clips of a great series Compo, Foggy & Nora Batty are a big miss, plus a great song and good to know that Peter Sallis is still going strong as one of the original character in the Last Of The Summer Wine.
