Considered one of the best sitcoms ever! Running since the dawn of time, Last of the Summer Wine is one of the mot reliable elements of the BBC’s output. The quality of ‘Summer Wine’ is reflected in its longevity and ongoing popularity. A true testament to the writing of Roy Clarke, that a small Sitcom can last for 30 years.
Welcome to Holmfirth, a breathtakingly beautiful village in the heart of the Holme Valley, home to our favourite idiosyncratic retired gentlemen. As they amble about the countryside, these unlikely lads are now enjoying a mischievous second childhood, devising and executing a multitude of (grey) hare-brained schemes. Which is just what you’d expect from Britain’s oldest, if not wisest adolescents, and their equally eccentric fellow townspeople. Helped by a supporting band of formidable wives, hen-pecked husbands, sexually-charged mistresses, inventors, pigeon fanciers and balding lotharios, our three heroes are never far from one adventure or another. It’ll end in trouble – especially when the formidable Nora Batty finds out.
