If the Summer Winos book is an expanded version of what the guys wrote on their website, I'll enjoy it immensely.

I look forward to the "veteran" Summer Winos' thoughts, as they no doubt know these episodes inside and out. I appreciate any and all corrections to what I've written. Sometimes the dialogue and cultural references escape my understanding. :29:

In a Series One episode, Clegg holds up a railman's(?) watch which belonged to his father. One would think that he would have been the one with the sentimental attachment to trains, not Foggy.

Clegg and Cyril got one another identical jumpers. Were they wrapped in identical paper?

Old Arkwright knew. If he didn't, he sure got an education in The Well Catered Funeral (S01 E04)!

(S01 E03) Pâté and Chips Original Airdate: November 26, 1973 The trio, along with Compo’s nephew and family, take a day trip to Upperdyke Hall. "Here's to the lady that managed the NAAFI in Oswestry during the war. The one with the glasses.” ~Cyril Blamire The opening shot shows the front...

To the Manor Born The Old Guys Still Game

I just gave it another listen, and that sounds like what Charlie said. Much appreciated.

(S01 E02) Inventor of the Forty Foot Ferret Original Airdate: November 19, 1973 Cyril challenges Compo to sit in a church for 5 minutes without speaking. “His family always seemed devout in National Assistance.” ~Norman Clegg It’s only the second episode, but The Inventor of the Forty Foot...

What a coincidence that my long-deferred interest in LotSW has finally taken hold as I approach the age Michael Bates and Peter Sallis were when series one first aired. Should Summer Wine endure for the ages, perhaps it will be as a rite of passage or even a "guide to dealing gracefully with...

"Lost in the Supermarket"- The Clash Leave it to The Clash to perfectly capture what it felt like to be an American child during the "Malaise" era.

(S01 E01) Short Back and Palais Glide Original Airdate: November 12, 1973 At the library, Blamire and Clegg turn Compo upside down to rid him of "evil spirits" and are thrown out by Mr. Wainright. “These days my main complaint is against the world in general; I do not like the way it’s...

Which forum would be the most suitable location to start episode reviews and discussions? I don't see many topics for individual series/episodes. I don't want to crowd the forum with numerous individual episode threads. I am currently viewing the entirety of LotSW in order and wanted to post my...

Clegg expresses several moments of anxiety and perhaps even paranoia. He flees from the increasingly crowded bus stop as it becomes occupied by numerous other Summer Wine characters. Clegg still manages to make several wry and witty remarks about his "best" suit and the discomfort it causes him...

That's a book which goes for big money on the secondary market. I'm on the hunt for a decently-priced copy, though. Even though it's early in my Summer Wine viewing, there are a handful of episodes I will never forget (more on those later). Summer Wine has a way of keeping itself in the...

I've read dozens of this wonderful comic strip. Great job in capturing that Summer Wine humor.

I have the Andrew Vine book, the BBC Books anniversary book, and the charming Country Companion. I've just ordered the Summer Winos Volume 1, even though the shipping to the US from the UK makes this painful (£9.99 for the book, £17.00 shipping).
