    R1 DVD Vintage Extras

    Although some louse deleted the Wikipedia page I was able to find this. Region 2 & 4 info on it as well. https://web.archive.org/web/20230611102617/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Last_of_the_Summer_Wine_home_video_releases

    Why is Big Day at Dream Acres so bad?

    Late to the game here. I just got the DVD with this episode on it and randomly selected it, completely unaware that it was a long-form episode. I didn't realize just how long it was until I was more than 30 minutes into watching! I have to admit, I was taken aback by the lack of a laugh track...

    R1 DVD Vintage Extras

    Thanks. For me they were like Pokemon, I had to catch them all! That being said I assumed the Christmas specials were just compilations included on the Series releases. Not so apparently. I had some catching up to do so I am updating my lucky-I-have-it spreadsheet. I was getting confused...

    R1 DVD Vintage Extras

    Thank you for posting this. Some time ago I made a spreadsheet of the Wikipedia table to track collecting the "Vintage" R1 releases. I was trying to double check something today and to my disappointment the page has been taken down (though many other LotSW pages remain). Not sure why they picked...

    22nd September 2026 Holmfirth

    What cab company did you use? We took the bus both ways but timing and lack of familiarity with the return bus stop location cost us some time. Rather not repeat that!

    Very sad to hear. I cant think of any performers who could match her "black widow" style of comedic acting.

    Photo Corner

    I had to look that one up, as I was guessing it meant one was in good physical shape for the trek. Not so much, apparently. : )

    Photo Corner

    Well, I just went through the whole route (about 1.5 miles) on Google maps Streetview using the walking option. Actually a fun exercise (without any real exercise : ) if you can't actually be there. The one thing I noticed is that there is a public sidewalk almost for the entire length. I point...

    In Later days.

    Seems rather high maintenance. Possibly homebound (since he never accompanies Nelly).

    Happy Heavenly Birthday John Lennon

    We tried the walk on our visit. I think cars would certainly stop for large sumos but they about flattened us. Getting a picture taker safely in the perpendicular spot was its own challenge.

    jokes bad or otherwise.

    There once was an old bloke called Compo, Who spent every night at the pub, so When they asked, “Why don’t you go?” He said, “I’d love to, you know— But I’m too drunk to remember where home go!”

    Clever camera work

    By the final series of Last of the Summer Wine, Peter Sallis and Frank Thornton had largely been confined to brief, seated scenes because of their age and the insurance restrictions on location filming. How, then, were their scenes in the final episode, How Not to Cry at Weddings, actually...

    Mashi's musings...

    Not sure how much longer Peter Sallis could have carried on working. Potentially breaking the “appeared in every episode” streak.

    Dolly Parton

    Used to watch her swoon down every weekend on here TV show and wondered if there was hopefully some safety mechanism keeping her from falling off that swing. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/opening-sequence-love-is-like-a-butterfly-plays-dolly-news-footage/1142874006 From an...
