'Last of the summer wine' - used to be funny years ago, but long past it's sell by date! Or do you still like it?

Are these repeats? If not, how many of the original cast are still in it?

I could never get into it. Years ago I used to find Sunday's boring and this programme contributed to that fact.

Not repeats, Lickszz - just keep churning out the same old story week after week, year after year, yawn. We need a 'fallen asleep with a cobweb attached to the whole skull' smilie to illustrate:D

I think Peter Sallis is the only original actor left? (Sorry for the Aussie style 'upward inflection':D

In that case then, I wonder if there will be a Christmas 'special'.

Have those 3 pensioners been replaced by another set of younger pensioners then?

It should be axed. :nod:

I'll bet there is even a Compo type character hurtling down the hills in a shopping trolley!!

Same old same old!!!

Afraid I'd agree.

I used to be a great fan but it should have been allowed to go in to the golden sunset some years ago.

It's a shame - it's nice to see character driven comedy that doesn't rely on booze and sex for laughs, but there comes a time when things have to go so that new stuff can be bought in.

Its good for a bet with mates tho'…..all chuck a few quid in a take a guess as to what they'll come down the hill in….trolley? Bike with no brakes? A bath on wheels?!...a sidecar seperated from the motorbike?

As a programme its bloody awful. I once walked onto the set when I was working in some little village just outside of Sheffield…compo even shook his fist at me. :)
