"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

disappointed October 25, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I'm sorry but I didn't realize that you could not watch this in the usa and I was very sorry and disappointed because I was really looking forward to seeing it They should sell it so the usa can watch it and if it is available in that way where can I get it also How do I return it at least then someone who can watch it should be able to enjoy it. It's a shame because it is such a funny show but I've never seen the first shows so I was looking forward to it.

Thanks anyway

Good price for hard to find title July 27, 2008

Bought this for my mother, who loves it. It contains episodes from different series over the years, and 1 feature-length film. I thought the cover looked photocopied at first, but the quality of the DVD is high, with excellent playback.

Since I have seen virtually All of the 35 + years of production of this series on PBS, this collection is good, but there are many more episodes and some of them are better than what is included here. I hope some one from the BBC makes more of this great TV comedy series available in the near future.

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.
