As Long As We Get All Of Them , 8 Jul 2008
I know no more than anyone else when it comes to what this 11-12 series will include, but as I said in a comment , As long as we continue to get them in the quantity which they have been being released I will be satisfied no matter what they call them . Please , powers that be, don't leave any out . Please release all of them and call them what you wish , just release all of them . I love this show and all the characters/writer/direction/ and that wonderful scenery. All I have to do is hear the name mentioned or see the lovable pictures of the '3' on the box and I feel "real good" inside . Also as I have said before , with only one writer , the great Mr Clarke, who gave us others such as Open All Hours , the characters never change from show to show as they do when several writers are involved . As an American we usually have anywhere from 22 episodes per season to as many as 39 back in the early years . I can understand why more than one writer would be needed then, but have witnessed a character changing from the way we 'knew' them to a complete opposite in another episode . It is almost like the many writers don't bother to keep up with the character or what he/she would do in a given situation , thus writing them completely different in many episodes . An example would be Sanford And Son , a knock-off of the wonderful Steptoe And Son . In one episode a robber looses his gun in the Sanford house while trying to rob Fred . Fred who would usually be the one wanting to keep the gun and make all the money he can from it , is dead against it . On the other hand Lamont who is most of the time such an honest and lawful man , wants to pawn the gun and this is a complete roll reversal . This is only one example of only one show , but it happens all the time in America . Another favorite , Only Fools And Horses remains faithful to the characters because of one writer also, John Sullivan , who gave us another GREAT to enjoy for years and years to come . I love British humor and am glad to see that the American version on OFAH is , supposedly, un-cut and un-edited , as the UK version is . I have seen many Brits complain about this and am so grateful to all the reviewers who let us know what is going on , so we can choose either the UK version or the American . Most of my collection of DVDs are British and I am so thankful for discovering TV as TV should be . Also BEWARE of Counterfeits being sold on Ebay . None of these two series collections have been released for Canada/America Region 1 as some "Sellers" are saying . They claim to be digitally changed to play on Region 1 Players, but are rip-offs and very poor quality . You can hardly read any of the print on the boxes . This applies to the two series collections , as there are a few Region 1s available . Keep up the good work Universal Playback and keep them comming .

Missing Episodes, 31 Jul 2008
I agree with Frank Moyes. The last release of Last of the Summer Wine (9 and 10) was a misnomer as series 9 was a 12 episode series and as such series 10 was not included. Referring to the book on The Last of the Summer Wine, which provides a summary of every episode, the six episodes of series 10 were not included in the release. It will be interesting to see if they are included in this release. As an avid viewer of anything to do with Last of the Summer Wine I look forward to any release.Last of the Summer Wine Series 11 & 12
