And as Roy Clarke (the creator and writer of ALL of this series) said, the contribution of Ronnie Hazlehurst's magical music cannot be overlooked. It was an integral part of the glory of this darling show.
Who would have thought that a scruffy little character could become such a comedy icon and make this show what it was down load some of his early films etc he could play any part and the way he could be a Londoner or from the north or west country was great comedy or serious he was great R.I.P. compo and co all sadly missed this type of comedy is sadly no more
A lovely, lovely program with that lovable little urchin Compo and his irascible comrades spreading mayhem and mirth wherever they wander. A world of fun never to e repeated.
Love the ones with seymore Mr Aldridge seems more of a connect between Owen and sallis. Than previous pals. I mean don't get me wrong they've always been the original likely lads of North waest Yorkshire and all need to be remembered but this team was great. God rest all these past and present true actors who made them sens apart of our family. Talent remembered and reconized as truthfully honest
I had not realised Seymour and Wally were in at the same time. I would like to see some of the original series with Michael Bates. I hardly remember those but I do remember that Foggy was not in the original gang.
Love you all from me right senses of Jamaican salute each and every British people❤❤❤❤❤❤ from the Every American culture of America❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you all British people😢😢😢😢
God that episode when they were saying good bye to compo broke my heart you could see cleggy really looked heart broken I read they got buried side by side as they were such good friends ❤️❤️
@@martinafitzpatrick8427 yes they did,they are buried in holmfirth where the series was filmed,side by side,peter sallis said,when i pass, i want to be next to my mate ❤️
I've got alot of the episodes saved and I watch them over and over. I never tire of them. They're hilarious. They're just like dear family members. When I dont watch them for 2 or 3 days I miss it. !!! ♡♡♡♡♡ I turn them on sometimes even if I'm busy and just listen to them.
Hilarious! Thanks for sharing this with us. My PBS station just recycles the same old 30 or so episodes all from the mid 2000’s which just aren’t as funny. Compo was my favorite and always will be.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
Such beautiful countryside .............. one of my favorite series, full of laughs and candor....... wish we all had lifelong friends like these. BTW........ever notice how much in this episode, Marina.............reminds you of the present day looks ( although older ) of Samantha Fish ???
That Kayak looks like a old wood rib and canvas model The Boy scouts would build as a project. I was given one my buddies older brother built. I was in the middle of replacing the canvas when a very over weight buddy from school leaning on it broke half the ribs..It became Instant kindling wood .he was on the hefty side.
Oh how I loved this show...all the wonderful actors who gave so much life to each of the characters...And the beautiful country scenery of England. I wish it was still on, but Comcast decided to take it away from the viewers some years back. American TV shows don't seem to be as good as British shows, probably, because I think they must have better acting schools. One thing I am wondering about is, did they use canned laughter? When outside scenes are shown, there just couldn't be an audience. Anybody know? Frank Thornton was also in "Are You Being Served" as the Floorwalker at Grace Brothers Department Store, playing the part of Captain Peacock. I believe some of the wonderful actors have passed on...May they all rest in peace. 09/23/'18
They would preview the shows to a select audience and record the laughs. they would dub the laughs in after that. I have heard that people would line up for hours to see the new episodes. In my opinion that made it much better than bland canned laughter. I hope that helps Ethel : )
As Steve Rice said they did a special preview so that they could record the actual laughter the directors said they would never use canned laughter as it was so false
so, if I binge-watch 30 years of "Last of the Summer Wine" how many blisters will I get on my butt? Or will my butt just be one big blister? I love this show... a classic
I see this with other series as well - the TV networks seem to buy one job-lot of episodes - and then just repeat these over and over again. Imagine if we only ever saw a couple of years worth of M*A*S*H....
"I prefer the Foggy episodes and the episodes that featured the near sighted Eli, he always made me laugh in his short appearances, when they brought in all those other characters toward the later seasons were to much to keep up with everyone, the Police Constables were always great as well.... American sitcoms are no longer funny they are rather dull and aren't comedies anymore, LOTSW forever."-😆. 🌐🌍🌐.
we hope last ofbthe summerwine will live on on our TV screens though Roy Clarke and Ronnie Hazelhurst have long gone but the shows live on though I like Michael Aldridge compared to Brian Wilde he had much more humour with Compo and Clegg
Charles fettig is it possible to have more videos just like this as they actually play a lot better and definitely sound better for anymore last of the summer wine please apart from what you've got on your playlist thanks 😊😊
I love this series - such a nice piece of British humour! But it is unfortunate that diminishing other nations is an acceptable thing enhanced by gross ignorance: the name Helga sounds more German than Ukrainian; the same can be said about the remark about the national cuisine - it is unlikely that the person who wrote the script had ever tasted it and the comment is made by a representative of the nation that does not hit the top ten as to the best food in the world.
OKAY I LOVED THIS SHOW SINCE THE BEGINNING. LOVE ALL BRITISH, SHOWS, HUMOUR AND SERIOUS. BEST EVER. LOVED THIS LITTLE MAN AND HIS FUNNY WAYS. WILL BE MISSED AS WILL BE OTHERS WHO HAVE PASSED.
I love everyone ivy and Nora along with edie are in a class of their own. Seymour cleggy and Wesley such dry wit but if I have a complaint its pearl her acting doesn't seem to fit in whether it's these episodes or the later ones.
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂 welcome to 2024 where did the United States government Indian girl call Kamala Harris is running for president what are the British people are thinking about that can I ask you all one question on each and every family😂😂😂 this is a joke by Donald Trump or something😂😂😂❤❤❤ love you all and take care I hope Howard was not alive still me myself what the bloody s*** was that shirt you are a bigger more Donald Trump than the Kamala Harris what do you think about it welcome to 2025 in a few months
You can't beat the good old comadies like this one.❤❤😊😊
Greatest bit of casting with Bill owens and Peter Sallis they were made for the parts
And as Roy Clarke (the creator and writer of ALL of this series) said, the contribution of Ronnie Hazlehurst's magical music cannot be overlooked. It was an integral part of the glory of this darling show.
It's regrettable that these fantastic people do not receive all the honours due. To perform so perfectly. ❤️💯
Why do you think they don't?
Reminds me of my childhood back in the 70,s especially the theme tune.Seems like it was just yesterday.Life goes by so quick
Life goes by to quick my friend
Same
You’re right. Just yesterday, it seems, I was 25 and yet oddly today is my 75th birthday. How did it all happen so fast ?
Such natural actors.
Compos death and goodbye from everyone on the show was so heart warming and sad at the same time
The actor that played howard passed away a few days ago,another one gone,he was 92 ❤️
Their are no more comedic character actors.
These three are definitely my favorite ones I watch the ones with Seymour and the other two over and over again. Though I do miss sid from the cafe
Me too
Wally Batty - my hero!
I loved him in The mysterious feet of Nora Batty
Who would have thought that a scruffy little character could become such a comedy icon and make this show what it was down load some of his early films etc he could play any part and the way he could be a Londoner or from the north or west country was great comedy or serious he was great R.I.P. compo and co all sadly missed this type of comedy is sadly no more
Bill Owens. Rip . Best guy in the world especially when your six.
A lovely, lovely program with that lovable little urchin Compo and his irascible comrades spreading mayhem and mirth wherever they wander. A world of fun never to e repeated.
A great Yorkshire comedy all time
I will always love this show no matter how old it is
Or how old I am! 😊
Compo and Clegg were perfect together
Wish I had friends like this ,what a beautiful Yorkshire,
I did have friends this 60 or so years ago. It appears I have outlived them all. Magnificent mates all! RIP to an era long gone!
Love the ones with seymore Mr Aldridge seems more of a connect between Owen and sallis. Than previous pals.

They made some Grand shows - way back when. Him singing on the back of the Straw Truck absolutely priceless. God bless ‘em all!❤️
I miss Wally Batty.His portrayal of a hen pecked husband is classic!
Wally was the unsung star of the show, he stole every scene he was in and had some fabulous one liners....Sadly missed..
I'm trying to remember what I seen him in before. And it's proper annoying I can't remember
I felt sorry for Wally, Nora was so mean to him.
hi old compow was best known for falling than walking jim
@@johnjamescapel3489 he was in coronation street he played Fred Jackson
I grew up on last of the summer wine I love it
Love these picture shows. So funny. U.S.A.
My mum would of loved this she passed away 3 years ago I dearly miss her so much
Love you all from me right senses of Jamaican salute each and every British people❤❤❤❤❤❤ from the Every American culture of America❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you all British people😢😢😢😢
Bill Owens made the last of the summer wine, it broke my heart when I found out that he went to the heavens
God that episode when they were saying good bye to compo broke my heart you could see cleggy really looked heart broken I read they got buried side by side as they were such good friends ❤️❤️
@@martinafitzpatrick8427 yes they did,they are buried in holmfirth where the series was filmed,side by side,peter sallis said,when i pass, i want to be next to my mate ❤️
Compo is right up there with Del Boy and Arthur Daley as TV treasures 👍😀
Can't get enough of this show. This episode is the funniest.

The people that own the rights for the show are stingy on what they will release.
Alvin is my next fave. I didn't think Barry and Glenda were funny at all.
You should if possible watch episodes from the golden era of this series - roughly 1984-96
@@nowhereman5119 I do now. I have the DVD set and I enjoy them all quite a bit until after Compo passed away. It just wasn’t as funny to me then.
@@takealeftatthelight5284 Barry and Glenda were about my least favorite. And almost unnecessary, don't you think?
I so enjoy british humor

The great last of the summer wine, I am a Yorkshire man, thanks for making us laugh guys, r i p, my link to Yorkshire when abroad,
I love. the last of the summer wine.
I miss this show. My local affiliate dropped it.
I cried the season with the death of compo.
His son came on after
Yea I knew that. And Cleggy and Ivy were only two cast members to go from beginning to the final episode.
@@MrMinuteman69 I liked Tom and smilelar( idk how to spell it lol)
Excellent episode 3 reasons..
Howard lying badly but funnily
Wally batty and Nora scene
Edie posh voice
Compo made the show.
I agree
Definaly he was the guy
God, what I wouldn't give to be back there again!
I watch this show almost every evening on BritBox.
Great 👍 can not stop laughing
I remember watching this with my grandpa. Ever since I watched it with him I’ve started to love British comedy
I still laugh at their antics. So funny.
Yes it was an amazing show absolutely excellent amazing scenery also xx
Yes one incredible hilarious series compo my favorite but cleggy and Nora batty amazing too and entwhistle and Howard and marina and perl 😂😂😂
Good job thank you from Charlotte nc jay GOD BLESS YOU WITH BEST IN THE WORLD
10:55 Compo on da wagon
(Maybe that’s the way he got to heaven when he died…RIP Bill Owen 1914 - 1999)
You'd think eskimos would keep their fur coats for bingo and "come dancing" !
I love Compo ♥️
Ceri leanne Wallace me too! The show just wasn’t the same after Bill Owen sadly passed away.
Thank you for making the picture wider so I can enjoy Compo and hid frien
These shows are so good and they make me laugh, they are so funny to watch. M B. Thank you!!!!!!!!
my favourite was Seymour. loved Michael Aldridge since i was a little girl.
They're like The Little rascals all but their old
Lmao yes!
I would say crazy comedy just funny compo he was more than funny he was character in his own way.😀😃😎🤪
Crusher, was a great character!
I wonder if he ever moved on to more shows?
@@charlotted6247 Same here he was a great gentle giant and his character and compo got on so well i have often wondered what
he went on to
I know, he was so funny
@@charlotted6247 He lost a lot of weight and played Chunky Livesey in first of the Summer Wine.
I loved Sid.
Such beautiful countryside .............. one of my favorite series, full of laughs and candor....... wish we all had lifelong friends like these.
BTW........ever notice how much in this episode, Marina.............reminds you of the present day looks ( although older ) of Samantha Fish ???

physically fit?! when you've fallen on your arse as many times as he, you've GOT to be physically fit!
Good job 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I THINK COMPO WAS GREAT HE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH
He was my family’s favourite.

so, if I binge-watch 30 years of "Last of the Summer Wine" how many blisters will I get on my butt? Or will my butt just be one big blister? I love this show... a classic
Once all those blisters heal, you too will have a heavily reinforced bottom!
The blisters will be sooo worth it!! 😂❤
one of cleggy best show
john walsh I've always been a fan of him
IM FREAKING OUT!!!
A millionaire fan could buy up the thousands of missing shows AS WE SEEM TO GET REPEATS ON gold AND drama CHANNELS
I see this with other series as well - the TV networks seem to buy one job-lot of episodes - and then just repeat these over and over again. Imagine if we only ever saw a couple of years worth of M*A*S*H....
these are on british tv at the moment 2 episodes a day from monday to friday wicked
"I prefer the Foggy episodes

the near sighted Eli,
he always made me laugh

were to much to keep up with everyone,

as well....
American sitcoms are no longer funny
they are rather dull
and aren't comedies anymore,
LOTSW forever."-😆.
🌐🌍🌐.
Roger Temple I disagree. I would rather see Blamire, Seymour or Truly. Foggy was a pain.
@@AR-jx6wr I also loved Eli - he was brilliant!
So do I.😂
First time Iv ever watched an episode
Thank you.
It's a kayak, not a canoe.
Bill Owen was always the first name in the credits until Michael Aldridge joined, having him listed first made Bill look like "second fiddle"
That bar owner looks a bit like John Belushi.
Was een schitterende serie
All the old people in Australia used to tip their tea into the saucer to cool it
This is really an old episode. Marina looks so different.
Ms. B. Churchill
How come Bill zOwen'd name isn't first?And was he in a Biggles prog yrs ago,?I seem to recall it.
does anyone know what song Campo sings
Hahaha Love it
we hope last ofbthe summerwine will live on on our TV screens though Roy Clarke and Ronnie Hazelhurst have long gone but the shows live on though I like Michael Aldridge compared to Brian Wilde he had much more humour with Compo and Clegg
Roy Clarke is still with us at 93 yo.
Charles fettig is it possible to have more videos just like this as they actually play a lot better and definitely sound better for anymore last of the summer wine please apart from what you've got on your playlist thanks 😊😊
What was that white fog that raced across the camera while there saying the names of the cast!
LOTSW just wasn't the same without Compo.
Where may I find Howards book on Stone Age Burial Grounds?
😂😂😂
Why is Compo always the Guinea Pig.
Seymour was the best third man.
A R: Foggy !!

Poor old wally component and clergy made it the classic what happened to the wippett after wally died
Marina looks like a man in women's clothing especially when they were riding there bikes in the country.
😸😸😸😸😸
I do wish Howard would grow a pair.
Similar to my life of an old differing fool bumbling through my last years of life with no concerns
mentioning Ukraine , interesting , as it was still repressed under the ruzzian jackboot

The last summer wine wasn't the same since Bill Own died
I have recorded up to Compos death, the rest I watch at times on Sky Gold. Just not the same.
We all miss Bill Owen shame he had stomach cancer and wished it was diagnosed earlier like they usually do have tests
