Last of the Summer Wine
Channel:
   
Schedule Print Preview

When Last of the Summer Wine finally ceased production, it had up 32 series, numerous Christmas specials and a 1988 prequel, First of the Summer Wine, with the whole canon being written by just one man: Roy Clarke. Created as a submission for the BBC's Comedy Playhouse in 1973, before the year was up, a full series had hit our screens. A whimsical comedy with a penchant for light philosophy and full-on slapstick, that first run followed the misadventures of three elderly friends tramping around the Yorkshire countryside (the town of Holmfirth and its surroundings). The upper, middle and lowers classes writ large: they were Former Royal Signals Sergeant and notional gang leader Cyril Blamire; flat cap-wearing voice-of-reason Norman 'Cleggy' Clegg and scruffy hormone-riddled layabout Compo Simonite. In a world where men are just over-grown kids, the authority figures come in the shape of some of TV's most formidable women. There's the physically intimidating tea shop owner Ivy, but even she pales in comparison to Nora Batty. With her wrinkled stockings and hair curlers, she's both a bogeyman figure curtailing the trio's fun and became an unlikely lust object for Compo.

Some Adventures of the Inventor of the Moth Stitch
Episode # 912

SOME ADVENTURES OF THE INVENTOR OF THE MOTH STITCH Alvin (Brian Murphy) and Entwistle (Burt Kwouk) are driving in the truck with Hobbo (Russ Abbot) standing in the back in a surveillance position ? just in case there are enemy agents lurking around. They happen upon Morton (Christopher Beeny) leaning over a bridge staring at the river and contemplating his recent divorce. Hobbo decides that something should be done to help the poor lonely man. Meanwhile, Barry (Mike Grady) is concerned at the keen interest that Glenda (Sarah Thomas) has for the new neighbours who are moving in next door. Later, consumed with curiosity, Glenda insists that they should take the new neighbours some tea and help lift an item of furniture in as a gesture of good neighbourliness. However, Barry is so shocked to find that the new neighbour is none other than his Golf Captain (Trevor Bannister), that he drops a bedside lamp that smashes to the ground. In his surveillance position again, Hobbo sees the deeply depressed Barry walking along the street, and stops the truck and orders Morton to follow. He takes Barry aside and convinces him that he needs a friend and that Morton would be ideal. Barry isn?t at all keen on the idea, but Hobbo drives off with a successful mission accomplished. Later, Barry replaces the Golf Captain?s bedside lamp and introduces him to Morton, who needs a friend and is readily available to help around the house. The Golf Captain ? Toby ? jumps at the offer of someone to carry out those irritating household chores. Leaving an Inn, Hobbo, being the only member of the trio not to have had an alcoholic drink, responsibly declares that he will drive Entwistle?s truck. Behind the wheel, Hobbo demonstrates that his driving skills are as credible as his tall stories, which attracts the interest of PC?s Cooper and Walsh.

The Mother of All Mistakes - Or Is It?
Episode # 913

Determined to find his real mother, Hobbo (Russ Abbot) does some research at the Library and finds out who his real mother is - and where she lives. With the help of Alvin (Brian Murphy) and Entwistle (Burt Kwouk) and his truck, he takes some flowers and goes to the address. Unimpressed by the appearance of Hobbo and his fond embrace, she ungraciously ejects him and the flowers. Meanwhile, Marina (Jean Fergusson) is distraught when Clegg (Peter Sallis) and Truly (Frank Thornton) call at the library to get the address of someone called ?Agnes? for Howard (Robert Fyfe). To protest at the unreliability of men, she chains herself to a supermarket trolley. Convinced that his mother just wasn?t ready to receive her son after so many years, Hobbo returns later to her house. Unfortunately, in his eagerness, he jumps out of the truck and disappears down a hole in the road. Rescued, he reveals that, as he fell down the hole, he had a vision that he had identified the wrong woman as his mother. When leaving Pearl?s (Juliette Kaplan) house later, Nellie (June Whitfield) overhears Hobbo mention his family name. She tells Hobbo that it is her family name and is astonished when she finds herself being embraced. She denies the possibility of being Hobbo?s mother, but others don?t share her disbelief. Marina learns that Agnes is an Agony Aunt in a newspaper.

Will Howard Cross The Atlantic Single-Handed?

WILL HOWARD CROSS THE ATLANTIC SINGLE-HANDED? Hobbo (Russ Abbot) is convinced that Nellie (June Whitfield) is his natural mother, so, with help of Alvin (Brian Murphy) and Entwistle (Burt Kwouk) he sets about trying to establish where he was born. When Nellie visit?s Pearl (Juliette Kaplan), Howard (Robert Fyfe) is enlisted to wear a microphone which will secretly pick up any information from the ladies chat. Howard has problems of his own ? mainly that Marina (Jean Fergusson) is disappointed at his lack of any spirit of adventure or heroism. But he causes quite a stir when he announces that he is going to row across the Atlantic single-handed. Meanwhile, Barry (Mike Grady) is deeply embarrassed at having to wear a tastelessly striped business suit. Happily, his problem is solved when Toby (Trevor Bannister) calls on his help in clearing a blocked drain. Aunty Wainwright (Jean Alexander) sells Morton (Christopher Beeny) an old tractor tyre, which soon dampens Howard?s hopes of crossing the Atlantic single handed.

Who's That Looking Sideways at Nelly?
Episode # 915

There is much discussion in the village as to whether Nelly (June Whitfield) is the natural mother of Hobbo (Russ Abbot). Despite her adamant denials, Hobbo (Russ Abbot) is absolutely certain that she is and greets her as ?Mother?. Hobbo confides in Alvin (Brian Murphy) and Entwistle (Burt Kwouk) that, in order to outwit his hidden enemies, he has become a master of disguise. To demonstrate his genius at this, he calls upon Auntie Wainwright (Jean Alexander) to find an appropriate outfit. Overcome by Hobbo?s disguise, Marina (Jean Fergusson) soon attaches herself to this new interesting character ? much to the annoyance of Howard (Robert Fyfe). Later, when doing some head exercises in the countryside, Hobbo accidentally locks his neck. As Alvin and Entwistle are trying to unlock his neck, PC?s Cooper and Walsh (Ken Kitson and Louis Emerick) are passing, and think that Alvin and Entwistle are torturing him. The police follow the party to a remote pub where they meet Toby (Trevor Bannister) Barry (Mike Grady) and Mort (Christopher Beeny). Very soon, Hobbo?s neck is back in working order.

In Which Romance Springs A Leak
Episode # 919

IN WHICH ROMANCE SPRINGS A LEAK Hobbo (Russ Abbot), undercover agent for MI5 and former milkman, finds that he is surrounded by males with marital problems. He tells Howard (Robert Fyfe) to count his blessings; he has Pearl (Juliette Kaplan), a good Yorkshire wife with the fine qualities of being nasty and efficient. But Howard feels he is being taken for granted and resents her going out all the time with Nelly (June Whitfield). The divorced Toby (Trevor Bannister), realising how much he misses his ex-wife for all the good work she did around the house, takes Hobbo?s advice and takes her some flowers to try to make up. Hobbo, Alvin (Brian Murphy) and Entwistle (Burt Kwouk) are disappointed when they witness Toby?s humiliating rejection. Taking the discarded flowers, Hobbo, gives them to Howard so that he can give them to Pearl and improve his status. This works well until Pearl finds evidence that the flowers have been recycled. Refusing to be downhearted, Hobbo tells Toby that there was something missing in his ploy to win back his ex-wife. He reminds him that, in the movies, every romantic scene is played with music in the background. With the help of an old Mario Lanza recording and Hobbo conducting his team of miming violinists, how can Toby possibly go wrong?

Goodnight Sweet Ferret
Episode # 921

GOODNIGHT SWEET FERRET Pearl (Juliette Kaplan) tells Nelly (June Whitfield) that she is quite certain that Howard (Robert Fyfe) will follow form and completely forget her birthday. Marina (Jean Fergusson) is also interested to know if he has remembered, as he forgot hers last week. Meanwhile, Glenda (Sarah Thomas) is having to convince Barry (Mike Grady) that he won?t look foolish wearing a top hat and tails at a friend?s wedding. When Hobbo hears that an old pal, Heptonstall (Peter Baldwin) is confined to bed with a bad leg and is looking for volunteers, he says he need look no further. He takes his team; Alvin (Brian Murphy) and Entwistle (Burt Kwouk), to see the invalid, whom they find is sleeping in his garden shed. Heptonstall reveals that he wants their help in burying Christine - a loved one - in the church cemetery. They are relieved when the deceased turns out to be a furry creature, and agree to take it out of it?s temporary resting place (in a potato waffle box in a deep freezer) and put it in a decent box for burial. At his home, Hobbo and his team respectfully place the ferret in a fancy chocolate box and retreat to the rear garden to get a shovel. Unfortunately, Howard has remembered Pearl?s birthday and, not having bought her anything, rushes into Hobbo?s house for help. There is nobody about, but, seeing the chocolate box, he sees salvation and borrows it to give to Pearl. The result is predictable, but there is little damage to the box which flies though the air at Howard. At the church, P.C.?s Cooper and Walsh (Ken Kitson and Louis Emerick) see the burial team climbing over the wall carrying the chocolate box and a shovel. They immediately suspect that some voodoo ritual involving dead bodies is about to take place. Hobbo and his team find that they have happened upon a wedding with all the guests assembled outside. Two of the guests are Glenda and Barry, who is now dressed in his top hat and tails. The men see the two policemen climbing over the wall, and hear them say they are looking for someone carrying a chocolate box. Barry is confused when Hobbo appears and hands him the box to hold for a moment. Barry is even more confused when the bride (Bree Martin) ? a lady of generous proportions with a liking for chocolates - sees the box and assumes that it is a gift for her. She settles down to open the box. The policemen are searching the church grounds when they hear a horrific scream. The box comes flying through the air again and hits the terrified policemen. Hobbo quickly convinces the policemen that only a voodoo ritual can save them from evil spirits. In no time at all, they have dug a hole and formally buried Christine to Hobbo?s amusement and satisfaction of Old Heptonstall.
