I'll begin. I enjoy its simplicity and how it reminds me of my very simple untechnical childhood. I messed about on river banks, climbed trees and cracked a few bones via such activities. I'm not anti tech, but I am anti...

My dad, from his early 40s he spent most the time in a lot of pain, has a little girl I'd seen him cry with pain and it was traumatising to see but every Sunday he'd watch Summer Wine and laugh so I used to sit next to him and watch it...

A bit like Pearl, my dad was the main reason I started to watch. He grouched and moaned about just every other TV programme there was but he loved SW And it was about the only time you heard him laughing out loud at the TV.

Most of the characters are really children in adult guise and I like daft innocent humour which SW has in spades. Also, there's probably a bit of nostalgia for a simpler time, helped by the wistful theme tune. Besides the physical gags...

As I grew up next to a creek, I enjoy watching the episodes that include a creek or a river. There was one that featured a bridge with lots of bushes, etc. growing on the side and top of the bridge. Yes, that can happen when the bridge...

TheWanderer247 replied to the thread Why Do You Watch Last Of The Summer Wine?.Though I'm not British I grew up in rural Ohio where you have a village or town within a mile of each other, kinda like how Huddersfield is not far from Holmfirth. It's the scenery as well as childhood memories of how the adults talked...

TheWanderer247 replied to the thread US Summer Wine.I don't think you could recreate it. You could do an homage to LOTSW with a similar premise, but an outright remake or reboot would never work. I used to imagine something like Summer Wine could've been filmed in Southern Ohio around...
