Just shows how the beeb really don't know their audience at least we can watch thanks to Gold.
Yes, it is true. My mom and my Uncle Gene got me hooked on Summer Wine. When I talk to friends they have never heard of it which surprises me since they watch PBS but SW is on at 11:00PM here. BBC doesn't show Summer Wine here.We discussed this before and I previously made this comment, but I will emphasize this again.
Clearly the representation of American members here show that Summer Wine does well in America. However, unlike the UK, a very very high majority of Americans never even heard of Summer Wine!!!! What if the show was known all throughout the states? That could possibly change everything!

Maybe we should make this a new thread. I wonder....my cable which is Comcast shows BBC and BBCW. Do you know what the difference is? Are they all owned by the same company? I think that is a great idea.bwingate, I know isn't that crazy that BBC America doesn't show ANY of the sitcoms. I wrote them a few months ago. All I see is Ramsey, Dr Who, Top Gear,and Star Trek ??? ??? ??? ???. Why star trek, I will never understand. They run them for 12 hrs straight. >. Maybe more Americans from this site can e-mail them. Try to bombard them to do something. I would love to see that OAH everyone talking about. Wanting to check out Dads Army also. Will do on netflix, or you tube someday.

Wrong-o!! I live in a large, well-educated area where the local PBS station
does very very well financially, and has a huge viewership. But it has not
shown a summer wine in years! They used to, but few if any watched it.
LOTSW on PBS would die again here in Raleigh/Durham.
We first watched a SW while vacationing in Yorkshire many years ago.
Had to be in the early 90's I think. Watched one episode, and were convinced that
the title meant literally this was the LAST of the Summer Wine. As in,
end of program. Got home and started collecting and trading discs.
Never found a copy of the program here, that's for sure.

I live in Alabama and our local PBS has Summer Wine on one time, on Saturday night at 9:30. I record it on my DVR, and then record it onto some blank VHS tapes. The quality isn't that good, but it's better than nothing for an addict like myself.

Back some years ago, a west-coast friend and I discovered a US gentleman
who was selling home-made LOTSW discs. We each bought different sets, and
made copies and traded them till we had a complete set each.
Then we joined an old (now quiet) Summer-Wine Yahoo group. We would set
up a mailing list, and send out a set of 4 or 5 DVD copies. Each person on
the list would receive them, copy them, and send them on to the next on
the list. At any one time we might have as many as 12 folks on the mailing
list. That meant that 12 people had a set of SW discs provided by one set.
Worked a treat!!!
That would be great, I would love that, but how do you make a copy of them?
