Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1977 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Once again we get another "series" of antics from our favorite boys from Yorkshire.
This time we get series 4 which appears to indicate Warner/BBC has gotten the message that we want all the series released in order. Series 4 has 8 episodes, 6 of which aired in 1977 and 2 in 1978.
Here is the episode list along with the original air date:
Episode 1: Ferret Come Home - 9 November 1977
Episode 2: Getting on Sydney's Wire - 16 November 1977
Episode 3: Jubilee - 23 November 1977
Episode 4: Flower Power Cut - 30 November 1977
Episode 5: Who Made a Bit of Splash in Wales, Then? - 7 December 1977
Episode 6: Greenfingers - 14 December 1977
Episode 7: A Merry Heatwave - 1 January 1978
Episode 8: The Bandit from Stoke-On-Trent - 4 January 1978
The sole reported "Special Feature" will be:
A rare 1977 interview with show Creator/Writer Roy Clarke.
Unfortunately, this series does *not* include the episode "Small Tune on a Penny Wassail" which aired on 26 December 1978. This is a "Christmas Special" which are not typically considered part of a series by the BBC. Hopefully we'll see this episode on a "Christmas Specials" release.
The picturesque Pennine village of Holmfirth in the Yorkshire Dales is the setting for the antics of our aging delinquents and their oddball friends and fellow townspeople. Miles and miles of unspoilt moorland, and a breath-taking backdrop to the adventures of Compo, Clegg, Foggy.
As I've mentioned before, if you've not seen any of the episodes before don't be suprised if you are lukewarm to the program upon first viewing. This is a show that grows on you with each episode.
Now that Warner/BBC has blessed us with the next series I have but one request. Let's get on with it! With 6 months between series it will take another 12 years to get it all released! I, for one, do not wish to wait that long!
OK... I have 2 requests. The 2nd is: Stop pricing these short 6-10 episode series the same as series containing 24-32 episodes. This gross overpricing is typical of almost *all* BBC releases.
