  • Although I do think the show went past it's prime, it's interesting to look back at the episodes over the years and see how things have changed, and at the characters (and actors) who have come and gone. It would be interesting to see if they revisit the show 10, 15, or 20 years from now, placing it in the same town and same locations - sort of a next generation. It would be a bit like going back to your hometown years later to see how its changed.

  • I cannot believe this ran for 31 series, you just dont see TV shows run for that length anywhere do you?

    Anyway great ending thanx

  • It shouldn't have ended like this :(

  • Sometimes the BBC can get it so wrong and not giving this series a proper send off is one of those times. If the BBC had any decency towards a sitcom that went for almost 40 years they would do a special to end the series properly because ending it this way just shows a lack of respect.

  • You are a jewel. Thank you so much for uploading this episode. My PBS station won't show anything past the 2nd Brian Wilde seasons.

  • My local PBS station just replaced LOTSW with some lame BBC show about 2 old guys - - - Sad times, indeed

  • The BBC can never get it right. LOTSW is the longest running sitcom in the world, it's been a consistently popular show for the past 37 years and it doesn't get a decent send-off. The cast were completely unaware that this was going to be the last episode when it was being filmed.

    I say the BBC should commission a special 90 minute finale episode to tie everything up or you never know, ITV might snap it up and continue the series.

  • So this is really the last episode of LOTSW eh? I'd never thought it would happen,but imo was never the same without Compo,but at least we'll always have reruns. Thanks for placing this last episode up,I have developed a fondness for this comedy series.

  • Where was the other original stalwart, Ivy from the Cafe? It is a shame that she did not feature in the final episode!

  • @Markjuk

    Freeman is best known for her role as café owner Ivy, one of the main characters in the long-running British TV comedy Last of the Summer Wine. She is one of only two people (the other being Peter Sallis) still alive to have appeared in the show since the first episode in 1973, following the death of Kathy Staff. Her appearances since 2006 have become less frequent, as the café does not appear in the series so often.

  • @Markjuk I know its ot a great answer, but its all i can find. But it is a shame no doubt, I didn't watch the first years. But it would be nice to leave the show after that long with at least an appearance on the final show.

  • I didn't find LOSW that funny in later years however I was fond of it. The sweeping camera shots of Holmfirth and the Yorkshire Countryside were fantastic. The aged characters I also liked. Shame on the BBC who yet again claiming not to be agsist axe a program aged at the older generation. If the BBC had their way any program that caters for the over 50's would be axed. There does need to be a change in attitude at the BBC regarding its ageist policy otherwise scrap the licence fee.
