View Full Version : Last of the summer wine - time for retirement.... Draggletail 17-10-2004, 23:30 '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? Lickszz 17-10-2004, 23:38 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. Draggletail 17-10-2004, 23:42 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 Draggletail 17-10-2004, 23:45 I think Peter Sallis is the only original actor left? (Sorry for the Aussie style 'upward inflection':D Lickszz 17-10-2004, 23:46 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 Have those 3 pensioners been replaced by another set of younger pensioners then?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: coopster1974 18-10-2004, 00:47 I'll bet there is even a Compo type character hurtling down the hills in a shopping trolley!! Same old same old!!! JoeP 18-10-2004, 07:51 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.

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. :) |
