Roy Clarke did a brilliant job with those episodes, with the right balance of comedy and pathos. My favourite line is where Clegg says "Maybe that's what paradise is, somewhere that the sun doesn't come up till you're ready"

Her and Mrs Avery seemed to be the most ill-judged characters for SW, but thankfully they didn't last long.

There's also an unexplained woman, maybe the same one, in the Feathers pub scenes in the episode From Here to Paternity.

At the end of the episode Ros goes back to Edie's house and besides her family there's another woman who comes out to greet her. Does anyone know who she is meant to be?

I've just watched ep 1 of Summer Wine Decanted and enjoyed it, but unfortunately at times the narration is drowned out by surrounding noise.

Just for fun:

Maybe it was partly his voice and wearing a hat that obscured his full appearance that reminded me of Del's dad.

Was the bloke who played Davenport in "Diversions with Davenport" also Del's dad in an episode of Only Fools and Horses?

This always cracks me up: And instead of Ollie being thrown out like Howard, his wife leaves instead.

And Pearl would be looking to splat Marina with a pie, and Cleggy would be hiding away from the melee indoors.
