First of the Summer Wine on YouTube

I found someone has posted them on YouTube, for those who have yet to see First of the Summer Wine or wishing to watch again that do not have the DVDs. They go by the username knockitoffnow89. Seems to be full episodes and not mangled by anti-CP trickery (only watched a bit of the 1st ep). Looks like all 13 episodes but only 12 are visible to me. Not worked out which one is hidden yet, would have to grab my DVDs.

In their description it says they are planning to move all their videos to the Internet Archive. Hopefully this means the episodes will continue to be available in case YouTube decides to no longer show them.

Here is a link to the first episode of the playlist.

Also, on non LotSW side note they look to have playlists for full seasons of 'Fish', 'SOAP' and 'Benson' episodes as well. I've chatted to someone on here at least about SOAP and/or Benson. Could have been the Captain or maybe Barry? Apologies, waiting on the first cup of coffee to kick in.

Cheers,
Rick

Hello. I'm the uploader. It's the pilot episode that is hidden. YouTube blocked it in a lot of countries but I have uploaded it to Google Drive https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tNbIc4t8BxWDUQku71yZZUypIVPDz5n_/view?usp=sharing
The link is also in the description of the video you posted.

I will be uploading the series on Internet Archive in the next day or so. You can find me here https://archive.org/details/@knockitoffnow89

Thank you ever so much for sharing this, and welcome to our community!
 
You're welcome and thank you for the welcome.

Here's the link to the series: https://archive.org/details/s-01-e-00-pilot

They're all available to download right now and once the derive message goes away you should be able to stream directly from the site. Enjoy.
Thanks for all your efforts here, I do have the series on DVD, but it is hard and expensive to buy on disc, so a lot of folk will never get to see the show
 
Hi,
@knockitoffnow89 !

Greets and Weclome to the forums.

Thanks for responding and hope you do not mind that I linked you here. Was trying to spread around some 'First of the Summer Wine 'love to fellow fans. I knew there would be some on here who may not have seem them yet. Glad you are archiving then as well.

Cheers,
Rick
 
Maybe I`m an outlier but First of the Summer Wine didn`t interest me. Like Rock and Chips which is the prequel for Only Fools and Horses these things never reach the heights of the original.

Same here, I never liked FOTSW, I just didn't find it funny.
 
Is there anyone on this site who loved FOTSW, I've not seen it yet but it's my viewing when I've finally finished my current series run of LOTSW???
