Last episodes

[WesleyRocks]

We all know when Bill departed and which episodes were his last, but what about the other characters?
Wesley?
Edie?
Sid?
etc,etc...
I was just wondering if anyone had a list of these, I would like to see the last episode that Wesley was in, but I have no idea which one it was.
I can only catch them on Youtube at the moment.
Thanks to all,
Wesley.

I don't have a list, but happen to know that John Comer's (Sid's) last was Getting Sam Home. By the time that episode was filmed, his throat cancer had advanced to the point where his lines had to be dubbed by another actor. He died in February of '84, a couple of months after the episode was aired.

Check Wikipedia

Wesley...Check Last of the Summer Wine in Wikipedia. They have a relatively detailed list of all the characters and episodes. There is also sub-category that lists each episode in the series and provides notes with things of interest in the episodes.

Below is the link to Series 7. You can see in the notes about John Comer's final appearance in "Getting Sam Home". If you have the time to go through each Series analysis, it will tell you when the first and last appearance of most of the actors took place.

I think Wesley's last show was. It all began with an old Volvo headlamp.

Final Wesley Episode

I think Wesley's last show was. It all began with an old Volvo headlamp.

That is what I found also....Series #23

I watched that episode today and there was only one appearance of Wesley (when Barry asked to borrow his Rover). He didn't look ill or anything. Seemed to sound well also. I heard somewhere he died from lung cancer, but I'm not sure where I saw that.
