When I first saw Last Of The Summer Wine many years back, Foggy had already joined the trio. The more curious was I to discover the early episodes, when both the actors and the writer were still developping the characters which I have grown to love so much. Luckily, Roy Clarke's writing was brilliant right from the start, and although the look and the feel of the episodes is not quite as relaxed and polished as in the later series, this is funny and endearing stuff. The early Compo is as scruffy and childish as you'd want him, and Peter Sallis' Clegg is one of the most underrated creations in the history of comedy. There' nowt better!

I have just had the privilage of watching all 13 episodes from the first two series of Last Of The summer Wine and I don't remember the last time I laughed as much in my life. Having been made nearly 30yrs ago it was easy to forget the storylines from so long ago, so it was nice and fresh when I sat down to watch the lovable trio. I won't spoil the plot for those of you who have not seen it before or those of you who have but don't remember any of the original plots from the first two series but I will say this without any fear GO OUT AND GET IT and be prepared to laugh your wellies off

What a joy to own. I read the reviews of others and am glad that the majority follow my own opinion of how good the early series was. The review that could not find any humour in them at all is sad. But everyone is entitled to an opinion, albeit a minority one. I cannot wait for the next series to be put onto DVD, I hope it is in the pipeline. The sheer expertise of the writers captures and creates three fantastic characters, in one of the most glorious parts of England and takes them through various comical scenarios, which can easily be aquainted with life today. What of the slapstick, it is not outdated, it still has its place, as does modern comedy. I would beg the viewer to watch again who found this un-funny. It was clean, good humour,with seaside postcard inuendo's. A classic series. It may have dwindled in the latter stages, especially when main characters sadly died, but it will live on as one of Englands classic comedy series. Roll on the next set on DVD.
And all that from an Essex lad, whose heart wants to be in Yorkshire.

Just love it
For me this is the best of The Last of the Summer Wine. I think Michael Bates played his part brilliantly, he was the reason I bought this set of Last of the Summer Wine. Read more

Last of the Summer Wine first series
Thought it would be interesting to see the first series but it is a bit of a letdown. I suppose it takes time for the characters to build but this series is not brilliant. Read more

Review of Last of Summer Wine Series 1 and 2
This is the early LOSW episodes and it clearly shows, Michael Bates' third character of Blamire has no comparison to Brian Wilde's Foggy or Frank Thornton's Truly and he is no... Read more
