I am currently watching the first Truly series. There seems to be an increased amount of discussion about the trio's childhood and the interesting characters from their school times.
For one, they mention the character Ceggy (?) Hemingway, who stuffed worms down Truly's shirt. I recall that is the third Hemingway used in Summer Wine (Biff and Clem being the first). There is something about the name Hemingway that Clarke must really like.
Now here is a crazy thought that might be unrealistic and also might be blasphemy for some of you traditionalists out there (but it is just a thought). In a story similar to my ideas, Disney has bought the rights to Lucas Films, in order to make more Star Wars movies. Like Star Wars, Summer Wine is a legacy in its own. I have an idea now for two Summer Wine spin offs but its not realistic to have Clarke write a whole lot more due to his age. What about the idea of Clarke appointing a younger writer to carry on the Summer Wine legacy and continue with some of the characters? I know I will get mixed results.
OK, here are my two ideas.
1. The first....similar to what has been mentioned before, a spin off featuring Barry and Billy (and maybe Hobbo). It would be a continuation of the characters, but with a different title so not to tamper with the true Summer Wine.
2. This one I got watching the early Truly episodes... a spin off showing the trio's childhood (with characters such as Biff Hemingway, Ceggy Hemingway, Chunky Rumbelow. It could be rather interesting! This would take place in the 20's and 30's, correct? An attempt to show Yorkshire during that time would be interesting and perhaps educational.
Thoughts, anyone?
