"It's destiny, fate that brings us together. Redundancy. They just don't care that your mother used to eat insurance men and that yours was struggling to bring you up nicely as a little poof." So says Clegg (Peter Sallis) to his companions, Compo (Bill Owen) and Blamire (Michael Bates), three fellows getting on in years reunited by unemployment after knowing each other all their lives in a small Yorkshire town. There's no real story to Last of the Summer Wine, simply the well-observed banter of the central trio and a gallery of eccentric supporting characters. Compo, the irreverent and scruffy "village idiot" and Clegg, the amiable working man are well-loved figures, complemented by the middle-class Conservative Blamire (a nicely rounded portrayal by Bates) and Foggy (Brian Wilde), who joined the series in 1976. This set is a reminder of how good the longest-running comedy in British television history once was, when it was new, fresh, and laugh-out-loud funny. --Gary S. Dalkin

The Last of The Summer Wine April 23, 2008
Love this series. Would love to own more of this series. British humor is the best. I can't get enough of these guys. What characters.

A gift for my father, this is his all time favorite show. He watches these over and over again.

And to think they credit Seinfield for the sitcom about nothing! January 6, 2008

Definitely a comedy that is an acquired taste but one that becomes completely addicting! The three old guys are just little kids in wrinkled bodies, and the poor women in the series are stuck trying to cope with whatever silly idea has moved in next! It's not cruel or nasty humor, but one that is completely self-deprecating and can be enjoyed as much by a small child as a grandmother or father (in fact, one of my friends watches it with her grandson, and they both enjoy it!). Not much else can be shared across the generations and no foul language! But Nora Batty's wrinkled stockings might take some getting used to..LOL

Several episodes of the series during the 90's. Very enjoyable, relaxing, and gives great views of the country. Several old friends during retirement deal with their insignificance to the world.

Just a quiet little Britcom . . . with surprises in store! September 6, 2007

The LOTSW series is my favorite of any British comedy. I promise that you will fall head over heels for each character in this program! Head over heels laughing! When you get 3 old age penshioners together that have much time on their hands, they just might act as if they are 10 years old, and have adventures that you might just not expect. You will also enjoy the unique-to-Yorkshire attitudes and use of the English language. You've got to see this DVD set!
