Last Of The Summer Wine: The Complete Collection [DVD]

Product Information

I never get tired of the beautiful countryside, the warm, fuzzy feeling, and of course, all the laughs! Join Compo Simmonite Bill Owen, Norman Clegg Peter Sallis, Cyril Blamire Michael Bates and Foggy Dewhurst (Brian Wilde), four retirees in a quaint and picturesque Yorkshire village, getting on in years, who have nothing to bide their time aside from dreaming up outrageous schemes and trading weathered philosophical musings, in LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE, the longest running sitcom in the world, which debuted on the BBC in the early seventies and has endured for over three decades, retaining tremendous popularity despite constant upheavals and shifts in its cast from season to season. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at ourwarehouse.

The following year, his onscreen character was given a funereal send-off, and Owen's real life son Tom brought in to play Compo's long-lost son, also named Tom. As they amble about the countryside, these unlikely lads are now enjoying a mischievous second childhood, devising and executing a multitude of (grey) hare-brained schemes. Hyacinth's next door neighbor in "Keeping Up Appearances" arrives late in the LOTSW series as Miss Davenport, the librarian.

Old school friends in northern Yorkshire reminisce about old days, get up to all kinds of nonsense, and interact with other people in the area. A whimsical comedy with a penchant for light philosophy and full-on slapstick, that first run followed the misadventures of three elderly friends tramping around the Yorkshire countryside (the town of Holmfirth and its surroundings). Over the years, the show adapted to the passing of many of its cast, but never was the challenge greater than when Bill Owen died in 1999. The series is the world's longest-running sitcom, having clocked up over 30 series as well as several Christmas specials.

However, perhaps realising the set-up had seen better days, Clarke has instead widened the cast, creating bigger roles for Auntie Wainwright; aging Lothario Howard Sibshaw and introducing newcomers such as Billy Hardcastle: a passionate outdoorsman who claims to be a descendant of Robin Hood. but the plastic box they are housed in is a bit difficult to live with, DVDs escape so easily and soon become a muddle.Note: Our refurbished grades - Pristine, Very Good and Good - are solely based on the cosmetic condition of the phone. Helped by a supporting band of formidable wives, hen-pecked husbands, sexually-charged mistresses, inventors, pigeon fanciers and balding lotharios, our three heroes are never far from one adventure or another. Welcome to Holmfirth, a breathtakingly beautiful village in the heart of the Holme Valley, home to our favourite idiosyncratic retired gentlemen. Wilde bowed out in 1985, and the following year Michael Aldridge was introduced as ineffectual inventor Seymour Utterthwaite: younger brother to another fearsome Yorkshirewoman, Edie Pegden.

He was replaced by Brian Wilde as the pompous ex-army corporal Walter 'Foggy' Dewhurst, who led the show into its finest years, as the friends got into increasingly preposterous scrapes, usually resulting in near loss of life for Compo. Amazingly superb contents with easy to follow discs, very good value and very entertaining by well loved characters and actors.
