I see that Gold have started showing this.
Episode one of the first series was on today,I put the channel on hoping an episode of our beloved show was on,and at first I thought it was because there was our Sid,but he was with another character called Uncle Mort,who I vaguely remember,and I remember the title too as it’s a strange one,but I have never watched an episode.
I really enjoyed it and have set to record the rest of the series.
Every one of the characters would have fit in perfectly in Last of the Summer Wine,John Comer is one of the stars,this first episode was aired in 1975,I don’t know how long it went on for,but I bet he was making this at the same time as Summer Wine,he looks exactly the same age wise.
The more I watched it the more I was convinced it was written by Roy Clarke,I missed the opening credits so didn’t know,but it was based in South Yorkshire,not far from Roy’s Doncaster,it had domineering assertive women,downtrodden men who do as they are told,and a young couple just like our Barry and Glenda,a soft gullible boyfriend and an over fussy girlfriend,who was the same lady as the wife who‘s husband Roy Hudd went awol in Spores,and every character felt like a Summer Wine character.
It wasn’t written by Roy Clarke,but it felt the closest thing to the early Last of the Summer Wine that I’ve seen,I’ll be watching and enjoying the rest of the series with interest.
