Coming Soon: Last of Last of the Summer Wine

[thunderlizard]

I thought you'd mention the Hovis adverts...

Did you see how much bread Old Ma Peggerty is getting?! she must be flipping huge!

I seem to recall finding one or two episodes of the 1st series mildly amusing.

It had that Anglo-Indian chappie* from "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" in it for a while.

Oh God, my parents think this program is hilarious
I dont.

Obviously I have never been North of the M25 but can only assume Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle etc are all like Last of the Summer Wine, and all Northern women sweep their steps down every week while wearing ill fitting stockings, while the men all wear flat caps & walk in the Countryside.

'Eh 'up Churchy! Is this one of your Dubai snaps???

You tell lies, you've been to Leeds. Not only that you met a certain young lady there too.

You're right. The knicker factory has never really hit it's targets since and Dierdre has never really been the same character.

It was never the same after Joe Gladwin died.

Never seen an episode. Let's keep it that way.

I have fond memories watching it 20 years ago as a nipper with my parents, but when I catch the odd minute now and again it seems to be entirely the same. Can't believe the same people are playing the same characters after so long, that blonde tart wasn't attractive decades ago...

It's finally getting the chop after 37 years.

I never liked it myself, but they must have been doing something right to last that long.

I had the displeasure of going to see an episode filmed at the BBC studios back in the eighties.
It was chuffing cack then, so god knows what it's like now.

I used to love it when it had Foggy and Compo and Nora Batty, of course. Now there's only Clegg and Blakey left.

[TimberWolf]

I never watched it and didn't know it was still running. If only the BBC would get rid of the Archers too.
