Despite some of the unflattering details of Peter's private persona, I prefer to have the whole, unfettered versions of his life up front, rather then come across it piece meal as the years roll on. Let he who has cast the first stone and all of that yada, yada but I personally would rather...

I think there was way too much slapstick in this one; too many setups to try and get a big laugh. In comparison, another longer feature, Getting Sam Home was done when they still allowed a little bit of dark humor and innuendos to float around in the script, where you could feel on occasion that...

I can only remember Ivy ever coming right out and saying that she and Sid never had any children ("Paté and Chips").

I still enjoy the episode immensely but I've never delved into the scene too much after noticing the obvious rope tricks a the beginning, where the slack rope suddenly transforms into some kind of boating knot around the mangle. One of those scenes (of many) where it is best just to suspend...

I rather enjoyed Fading into the Limelight. I have the audio book, dictated by Peter Sallis himself. The LOSW segment was short but I still enjoyed it. Peter's life up until he became part of Summer Wine was very colorful and interesting. I really enjoyed his reminiscence on his time working...

I do the rubbish removal, recycling and laundry. My wife does ALL of the house cleaning and garden maintenance (I used to try to try to lend a hand but I now know my place) and my son does all of the exotic cooking.

I think Wesley was the last one that I remember smoking. Maybe during the Seymour years?

Just a funny coincidence but the last two roles the BBC mentions him being in were men of the cloth; Reverend Clement Hedges in Wallace & Gromit's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) and as a vicar in Last of the Summer Wine (2008 ).

When it hit retail in 2004, it was the first BBC Warner Bros- Summer Wine DVD released in the States. The second disc of the package includes the documentary "Thora - A tribute to her Life and Career." The other episodes on Disc 2 were "Desperate for a Duffield," "The Suit That Turned Left,"The...

I think "A leg up for Christmas", followed by "The Funny Side of Christmas." It's probably just being sentimental as those two were the ones included on the first BBC video NTSC DVD I bought - "Last of the Summer Wine - Vintage 1995"

I remember reading something about this quite awhile back, don't know if it was on this site or one of the older Summer Wine sites from about ten years ago. James Garner was a name I remember being mentioned as well as the location being Bakersfield, California.

I was originally very high on the second Foggy era, but over time it's been the Blamire years that I find myself going back to repeatedly when I want to relax and have a soft chuckle or two.

Yep, here he is in the episode "Aint Love Dangerous"

The end of this episode is one my favorites; when they're sitting on the steps sharing a can of Carlsberg making little toasts to others. Blamire definitely appears to be a little lit, which brings a bit of the common man to his character, IMO.

LOSW and Open All Hours's similarities Just finished watching the pilot for Open All Hours and I was feeling a bit of deja vu. Maybe it's the self reflection from Ronnie Barker reminding me of Sam (Getting Sam Home) talking about Cosgrove's (?) Mrs's or what not. Just the dialog in general...

It seems the site made a go of it until June 2009 before the updates stopped. I've linked an archive of the homepage by using the wayback machine. http://web.archive.org/web/20150220044755/http://summer-wine.com/indexbackup2.htm

I just tried your link to see what everyone was talking about. Picked "Getting Sam Home" and clicked full screen. Video played fine. No problems at all with banners or request for updates, downloads etc. I used Chrome on Windows 8.1.

Spending a quiet Sunday in SoCal, hoping you all have a joyous Easter!

I think the only thing I picked up from the show was drinking Carlsberg. I don't even remember seeing Carlsberg when I was stationed at RAF Alconbury in the very early 90s. Definitely must have picked that up from the show, the "Paté and Chips" episode to be more specific.

In "Small Tune on a Penny Wassail" Ivy seems pretty happy when she gets her sleep teddy from Sid on Boxing day.
