If you can persuade every single LOTSW fan on the planet to buy a copy, we might be onto something here...

Agreed. A very good idea and thanks to Barry for suggesting it. What a fabulous community this is.

Hello good sir. No, I haven't got any book signings planned. With a face like mine, any potential purchasers would either run away screaming or faint on the spot. Happens to me every time I look in a mirror.

It's a re-written version of my first book. The layout is different, there are extra chapters, new interviews, different photos and illustrations. I think this updated version is better than the original. Not sure if links work, but just in case...

Thank you Onslow. Hope you enjoy the book. Happy New Year to you.

Hello everyone. Happy New Year to you all! "50 Years of Last of the Summer Wine" is an updated, revised, re-written version of my previous book. The layout has changed, there are some new photos (thanks to Terry), new chapters and new interviews. And it's cheaper than the original! The eBook...

I am one of those who not only feels that the quality of the series remained sky-high right up until the end, but also that Tom Simmonite was an excellent addition, expertly portrayed by Tom Owen.

Tom had been unwell for some time. He told me last month that he wasn't feeling great, but was 'struggling on'. Tom was a lovely and absolutely charming man. Very polite and likeable. As Graham says, a sad day.

Hello Liana. I am busy working on the new edition of the book. It's quite a task as I am going through it from beginning to end, re-writing and editing extensively, Some new photos and some new interviews as well. I am really hopeful that this edition will be better than the original. Your photo...

Thanks to those who provided answers to my previous questions. Much appreciated. I would be very interested in knowing what members think about the various Christmas episodes. Again, any answers will be included in the forthcoming revised version of my book. So... Which is your favourite...

Brilliant, thank you Tommy. Great contribution. Really interesting comments.

Last year, I started revising and updating my book and asked for your thoughts about why LOTSW had been so successful. A number of you sent me some wonderful contributions, which I will be using. Alas, personal circumstances dictated that work on the book had to be postponed. But I resumed work...

Hello Liana. I am updating my book "Last of the Summer Wine: An Appreciation" and wonder if I may use this photo in the new edition? If so, shall I credit you as the taker of the photo?

I had the pleasure of interviewing Lionel Blair for "Last of the Summer Wine: An Appreciation". He was courteous, funny and entertaining and spoke with fondness of his appearance in the series. Fantastic man.

Such utterly sad news. A remarkably talented actor who understood the character of Howard and played him to perfection. He and Juliette Kaplan were superb together. Let's take comfort from the knowledge that he lived to such a grand age. R.I.P. Robert Fyfe.

Thank you Kall. That's an interesting observation... "a place where we escape the problems of life..." I agree. I find myself hankering over the life - the world - as enjoyed by the LOTSW characters. I'd love to be there with them, living life insulated from the cruel, outside world.

Well said. How many other comedies inspire such fondness... such power to make us feel happier?

By the way, I am happy to use contributions without names. Two brilliant responses so far... would love some more!

Wonderful words, Keith.

Totally agree. May I use your name in the book?
