Last of the summer wine Just a small funeral part 5

[TheSpelldoctor]

My Mom and I love this series to point of skiping the nightly news. To watch the boys get into another adventure, and a bit of mischief :). This, was beautiful.

[mayo9757]

made me cry

[TubbsLardyRM]

I am so gonna cry. 😢

[mickaka]

Blubbered all the way through this part, these old boys felt like part of my family, that final line had me in pieces.

Rest easy Bill.

[samwise65]

This was such a sad time for the series. Clegg being a gentleman and offering a place to sit is sweet.

Very nice.

[ToxicCynder]

D'x R.I.P Compo, you were awesome xx

[mechazoid]

I grew up watching Last of the Summer Wine with my grandparents on a Sunday night so it was a big part of our lives and Compo was always our favourite character.

I was holding back tears all through this episode but when Clegg said "We thought you'd like another wander through the hills old son" I broke down. It suddenly hit home that we'd never see this character again.

I have to say that the "Summer Wine" song and the addition of the choir to the end theme is a beautiful touch.

[retroclipps]

"We thought you'd like another wander through the hills old son.."

[mentalsun]

what was that music called being played on the organ?

it is always played in a church before a funeral.

[mamamurray]

@mentalsun "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach. Also often played at weddings.

[zachthezombie]

wasnt ther an episoed that used some unfinished senes of compo im sure i remember an interview were thay talk about it

if true what episoed is this

[Trek001]

@zachthezombie I can't remember what it was either, but I know what you are on about. The scenes were outside scenes of Compo that had been put to one side. They decided to edit them in to the series before this as a tribute

[zachthezombie]

@Trek001 yea i remember to footage worked really well

[howzie23yo]

EY UP NORA

[daddyobean]

why can't i watch this video??

[johnboy14]

That last bit "Thought you would like a wander threw the hill for the last time old son, brings tears to my eyes.

[wenglishsal]

@johnboy14 .. Me too, teary eyed and smiling at the same time.. Waht a series and what fantastic chartacters too.. Brilliant telly eh lad :0)x

[sc0pl355]

OH MAN Nora's frown. lol

Best episode to the best show ever.

[CybermeN100]

did nora ever say that he liekd him

[MaserLaser]

Amen Bill and Compo. You are still missed.

I managed to hold it together until Clegg said that he'd organised him a last wander through the hills. It's sometimes difficult to show on TV the relationship between old friends, but it shows through there.

[duckyloo1964]

I have just sobbed and laughed my way through the whole of this episode. What a wonderful send off it was for Compo and a brilliant tribute to Bill Owen to. I was fine until Howard's wife showed compassion to Cleggy and that was me sobbing. RIP Compo/Bill Owen, sorely missed.

[TomatoeAssassin]

Roy Clarke is incredible. He somehow managed to take one ot the saddest occasions in television history and make it funny without disrespecting it.

Bravo.

[itsaguinness]

amen- as soon as I saw those wellies 1:49

[6672rock]

I only just got into LOTSW a few years ago, only to find out much to my dismay that many of the show's longtime actors have since passed on. God forbid, but when Peter Sallis passes, they should put the show to rest and give it a respectable ending. Only he and Jane Freeman are left from the original cast. Anyway, God bless you Bill Owen. Rest in peace, and thanks for all the laughter.

[HORRIOR]

Compo... We hardly new ya (for me its literaly im just starting to learn about the origin of this series). But let us all remember ur unselfish jokes and ur frets may ur green beanie rest on ur grave WE SALUTE YOU!

[StoliDassah]

Ditto, I've only just gotten to know and love this show over the past 6 months or so. I'd grown so attached, just to find out so many of the actors and actresses have passed on.

[47antony]

@StoliDassah its sad that so many of the cast have passed on,but look at what they left us.i have watched this comedy since i was a child and i love the show the new ones are a pale reflection of the old ones.

[redredreds100]

liz fraser has to be one of the sexiest women ever born, at every age she's sexy, even when she hits a hundred, she'll be hot

[bbc8437]

They put the boots in the right place. I can't help but cry every time I see this episode.

[redredreds100]

that was heartbreaking, must have been very hard for the cast

[goldie103103]

Last of The Summer Wine isnt the same without Bill Owen. It was still good when Tom Owen came into it but Its not as good.

[Aegidia01]

I feel incredibly sad now :( RIP Bill Owen.

[TheHman53]

Wouldn't everyone like to be loved like this.And have a big send off?Great comedy.Nice and clean.A pity not more like it.I watch over and over again.Thanks for uploading.I placed in my favorites.

[MorrisManDanceMan]

thanks fore this of the best of the last of the summer wine it brings bake memoires this one makes mi cry all the time. R.l .P. love them all

[hman53]

Very well done.Both entertaining and touching.Loves watching over and over again.Bravo for good clean programing.

[trippendale742]

what was the joke at the end of the titles?

[bradleymanor]

Seeing the tractor behind all the cars. I thought that part was funny anyway. Compo always had a tendancy to go out with ruff and weird women. Bill Owen was of course a very respectable man compared to his character Compo.

[logsta19]

wt was the episode alled b4 this 1 of his actual death??

ive seen it on ere bt cnt member wt the name of it woz

[bradleymanor]

Elegy for Fallen Wellies. One sad thing is that anyone who puts this episode up always discards the last few minutes. Is there a fault with the last few minutes or did the BBC actually delete the last few minutes themselves. I can't remember the BBC doing this when I watched this episode many years ago. I'd like to see it all as the Gold satellite channel probably won't ever show it.

[Daikenboy]

Sad but lovely. Well done.

[iPlayRandom]

Loved this

compos the man!

we will miss him

that is all.

[brisansam66]

Good to watch again and remerber Compo..

[bradleymanor]

In 1 of the series "Sweet smell of Excess" Foggy Dewhirst (Brian Wilde) says Compo's clothes could qualify as an historic ruin. I could agree there. His wellingtons look very warn out and past their best.

[laserdiscaddict]

tearjerking episode but funny aswell

[bestirishfirefighter]

Poor Peter Sallis. His heart must have broken in 2. Having buried Bill Owen and then to film this.

[Steeleperfect]

The whole cast were amazing. It must have been so hard for them all, but they did a wonderful job and gave him the best possible send-off.

[IrishKyokushin]

@bestirishfirefighter With all the cast funerals he's been to over the years he must be sort of used to it by now.

[pjl54]

I love this so much. I am glad you and others post these shows. I watch them on tv every Saturday and Sunday. On here i can view them anytime.

This episode brought tears to my eyes.

[Jimtrek]

I never saw this episode till now, but it is truely a deserved tribute to the little man with the big heart. Much appreciated KYLEROB19, Thanks very much for the posting

[Plodda1]

I wish someone would post the video with the white coverall tribute, it was the most moving moment I've seen on TV.

[ironjob]

I agree; I don't see how anyeone who enjoys the show could watch that episode with a dry eye. I know I didn't.

[yorksteam]

I want to see thar one too, I can't remember which one it was, it brings a tear to my eye. It was local Scouts, but I can't find anthing of it!

[slickplum]

This was such a moving episode and it was very kind of you to share it with us folks. I live in NJ and always look forward to watching the series on PBS during the week...it is quality entertainment...thanks again, Catherine

.

[Canadiantalentshines]

It was a touching episode and it was nice that his friend and fellow actor Liz Fraser was a part of it.

I first saw Summer Wine about 15 years or so ago and I don't think I'll ever stop watching.

[amkaen]

Absolutely wonderful show, and what a beautiful send-off for Mr. Owen. And Peter Sallis played his part with such quiet dignity, while still conveying a world of emotion. I so wish American TV would take their cue from this show.

[ironjob]

I wish we would too. We're too busy producing un-funny trash-filled so-called "comedies" and idiotic "reality" shows. Very little TV I bother to watch, save for LOTSW and some sports.

[HSPD0235]

I knew Bill Owen died during the run, and I saw the white coverall moment in the special on the 95 series DVD. I was not expecting something so moving. I was especially touched by the moments between Juliette Kaplan and Peter Sallis. You know that had to hurt Peter as an actor to lose his partner of 30 years. Probably his best performance.

[scrucker]

I've never seen this episode before but it's a good end to Compo. My eyes are glazed and I'm suprised that I'm not crying. It's never been the same every since he died but I can't stop watching every episode I see from the BBC to UKTV.

[rob1969in]

Im in floods of tears, bloody hell that is one of the nicest bits of TV ever.

[wenglishsal]

@rob1969in ... ditto, to your sentiments, I'm crying too , absoltuely fantastic, a very fitting tribute to 'Bill 'Compo' Owen.... :0)x

[kickinoverya]

Of course the dissapearance of Sid,Wesley,Eli and Edie(Dame Thora Hird) were explained well too.

It All Began With An Old Volvo Headlamp(2002)-GOODBYE WESLEY!

[BlackBacon44]

I thought there was more to this when, surreally, the white overalls got up and walked off the hillside. Thanks to KYLEROB19 for these videos and for the spelling errors in keeping with most of YouTube.

[YKW2]

"And did those feet in ancient wellies..."

Such a moving moment at 1:10 in the Bach when the orchestra sound merges with the organ. Ronnie Hazlehurst also excelled himself in these episodes

[ciroalb3]

they should have brought Foggy back for this episode

[shokuwarrior]

apparently they were going too, but they felt it would mean Foggy would get all the attention, rather than Compo.

[buddyfan1959]

see ya Compo

[kuddle75]

A sad story mixed with humor, really well written. Is there any end to aunty wainrights greed?

[ant67hony]

do we really care,god bless all of you.xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[88speedfreakDrage]

One of the most potent, and emotional scenes in Summer Wine ever!

Compo's farewell, and one last hurrah for his wellies. lol

Rest in Peace Compo, and most importantly, Rest in Peace Bill Owen!

Lee

[buddyfan1959]

this is the saddest scene on lotsw

i have ever seen

a last grbye to the nations scruffest actor ever

RIP Bill Owen M.B.E
