Last of the Summer Wine
Following on from the Beautiful South thread, I was somehow reminded of that God awful, seemingly never ending pile of steaming turd that managed to run for over 20 years. Was it me or was it the BBC's jewel in the sewer?

Last of the Summer Wine won Best Comedt at the British TV Awards a few years back - what the f*ck is wrong with these people!!! It annoys me that people who write sh*t like LOTSW get paid for it. NOT FUNNY! Amazingly the crap was aired on BBC1, and quality comedy such as 'I'm Alan Partridge' and 'The Day Today' only managed BBC2 slots - this country!

i think its the law that Last of the Summer WIne must be shown on a sunday night, and all bbc staff would have to do 7 years hard labour in outer mongolia if this didnt happen......can't think of any other reason its lasted so long.

Funny thing is, i have yet to meet anyone who actually likes it. I've heard tell that they are out there somewhere, but how come it got a 20 year run and Alan Partidge didnt get a second series?

PS - Little Matt, I am good thanks. heading off to Chocky country on Friday. Wil have to catch you when we return. Maybe in Mad Brodies for a World Cup game?

Never seen a whole episode. Tolerance level usuallly about 20 seconds !
Comedy for old people - like that Hyacinth thing and to a lesser extent One Foot in The Grave IMO. PANTS !

I didn't like it, it was just old people rolling down a hill every episode, but it was a lot better than Alan Partridge.

The new Alan Partridge series is being filmed at the moment. Dunno why Last of the Summer Wine has survived so long though.

When i was young I used to hate LOTSW with a passion, not only because it was total toilet, but because it meant one thing...
the weekend was over and I had to go to School in the morning

Er, Al, they're currently making the THIRD Alan Partridge series. How come you, as chairman of the Alan Partridge fan club (and chief quote provider) didn't know this ?

And also, very often the reason that further series of a particular programme don't get made is because the writers / creators don't want to make another - but all praise to the creators of Auf Weidersen Pet for coming back with another storming series after so long.

I'm sure that Last of the Summer Wine doesn't appeal to the mass of urban, educated young men that this BBS attracts (and a few old farts like myself), but I'm sure that it does have a loyal audience somewhere, because I don't believe that the BBC just keep making these if they don't get good ratings.

It's been going for over 30 years!

I remember seeing the first one ever for some commemorative event or other, and it was quite bit different from now, the humour a bit more, dark, bitter - maybe a Likely Lads for codgers in Yorkshire. However, that doesn't excuse the output since.

My late Grandad used to love it, if that helps identify your target audience.

You'd think they'd have the decency to pack it in when Bill Owen died, though.

I hate to be the one who throws an olive branch to LOTSM, but it is filmed in a place called Holmefirth, a marvellous part of the country in the middle of the Yorkshire moors.

Not a jellied eel or a flat pint of bitter in sight.

Cue the abuse !

Er...Al not strictly true 'cause I actually like it Still maybe it's an age thing with me being so old and you being such a young thing.

By the way say hello to Mick and Chock, and give the luvly Witchy a big kiss for me.

"Er, Al, they're currently making the THIRD Alan Partridge series. How come you, as chairman of the Alan Partridge fan club (and chief quote provider) didn't know this ? "

Er, Richard, it was direct reference to the I'm Alan Partridge series where he is in the restaurant with Tony Hayers, Head of BBC Light Entertainment, asking if he's got a second series. Alan has lots of good ideas for shows, like Monkey Tennis, Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave, Inner City Sumo, A Partidge amongst the pigoens, Knowing M.E. Knowing You (youve got to keep their spirits up), Cooking in Prison, Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank etc. hayers isnt buying into any of them. "Yeah. Give me a second series you sh*t" is what Alan says after one of Hayers colleagues comes along and says he enjoyed the chat show and lightheatedly says to Hayers "Go on, give hime a second series". I know full well that the series starting in the autumn is his third, but if you knew your Partridge you would have appreicated the irony...just like Jacques Derridar (spelling) did when he was in the restaurant with no name.

Woman "Oooh, longer than I can remember"
