Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1988 & 1989



A first look at the upcoming release. . . .
This is one of my all-time favorite Britcoms, and like others who have posted here, the BBC & Warner Brothers can't release them fast enough for me.

According to the BBC America Shop website, these are the episodes to expect in this one:

1. "The Experiment" - Compo wonders why all the blood rushes to his head when he's turned upside down. Seymour sets out to discover why. (16 October 1988)
2. "The Treasure of the Deep" - Is the piece of silver fished out of the canal really a thief's haul? Is there more where it came from? (23 October 1988)
3. "Dancing" - Compo's feet hurt, but why go to visit "The Witch" for a cure? (30 October 1988)
4. "That Certain Smile" - A visit by a much loved pet seems the only way to bring a smile to Clem's face during a spell in hospital. (6 November 1988)
5. "Downhill Racer" - Seymour tries to prove that skiing is more than just a winter sport for the rich. (13 November 1988)
6. "The Day of the Welsh Ferret" -...

Please Sir, may I have some more?
OK... wrong film but the sentiment is still there! Move faster BBC/Warner!

This time we get 2 series (10 and 11) from our favorite retirees. From the press release:

"The world's longest-running sitcom returns with two seasons of high-jinx from everyone's favorite geriatrics! The lure of Georgian silver prompts the boys to scour the canal in a homemade glass-bottomed boat, and chaos ensues when Compo smuggles a dog into the hospital to cheer up an old friend. At Seymour's urging, Compo and Clegg try their hand at skiing on trays, and a Welsh ferret in compo's care has an eventful day out. Compo hopes that wind-surfing on an ironing board will win the ever-elusive admiration of Nora Batty, but the speed record goes to Edie's son-in-law Barry when he tangles with Wesley's oversized kite."

There will be 13 Episodes for these 2 series with 2 additional bonus episodes:

Series 10, Episode 1: The Experiment - Original Air Date--16 October...

these old men are little boys at heart
