TV comedy has moved on, some of it is fair, but modern comic actors and comedians didn't have the years of experience that the performers in the old classics had.
Thank you for a wonderful series my late dad would have loved to have watched them as much as I have enjoyed them. i grew up with Summer Wine on a Sunday so it holds a special place in my heart.
Sad to hear that this is the final instalment of Summer Wine Decanted: every episode of which is an utter delight! But then all good things must end. I’d like to raise a glass in gratitude to be able to share in what you give so generously to us LOTSW fans. It’s appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed the videos. you can still join us nearly "live" on Sunday 29 Oct, at 7pm for the last video in this series, plus a bonus out-takes video.
@@pjbabmail it was the last "normal " episode! "The Last Drop" and the bonus out-takes video will be here for you to watch anytime after Sundays Premiere.
@@upstagedbyadog Whoops! I’m strongly tempted to make use of UA-cam’s face-saving delete post facility on my previous comment to try and hide my embarrassment but I suppose I had better “man up” and leave it there for all your viewers to see. Anyway: your knowledge of all things LOTSW is truly enormous, and all this additional information is manna to me. I suppose many viewers are apt to find the welter of the series’ continuity errors, its use of body doubles, etc jarring - but, for me at least (and as I have had occasion to mention to a fellow LOTSW fan in the past), they dissolve into irrelevance as the show casts it spell over me.
Another cracking episode, Leigh! I don't know if it's been mentioned before but I think it's worth saying that your theme tune (does it have a title?)complements the 'Last of the Summer Wine' theme exceptionally well. Great choice of music. Again, thanks for all the research which obviously has gone into these Trivia, and all the other LOTSW, episodes. Cheers
Thanks Jay, this is nearly the end for "Summer Wine Decanted" the final video is Sun 29 Oct at 7pm. That will be 26 videos! I'm moving on to another tv series, next!
Hi Leigh I noticed to Ivy missed out a cake or biscuit at Pearl house i agree it looked like Pearl got her own back because Ivy took the cake’s or biscuit away that’s funny lol 😆
Hi Leigh I watched when Alvin and Entwistle and Hobbo was chatting to Morton outside library and the audience had a lady laugh going ha ha ha ha it sounded real a bit
"Get Out Of That Then" is curious in terms of its production code. The rest of that series, from "Enter The Finger" to "It's Never Been 10 Years" were numbered consecutively from ENCA181L through to ENCA190J, but "Get Out Of That Then", aired as the last episode, was numbered ENCA193R, which makes it seem more like an extra episode was added to that series' commission at a later stage than the rest. Unless originally they commissioned and signed off on 13 episodes and then dropped two at some stage before broadcast, as I cannot find anything else using the two missing numbers in between.
I would originally have said that it would be unlikely that two scripts were totally ditched - but considering the apparent attitude of the BBC at the time, it seems very possible. I had assumed that "It's Never Ten Years" had been "thrown" together, as a semi-bottle episode, as most of it is old episode clips, I'm surprised it was part of the "scheduled" scripts. does this mean there are two "lost / unmade" episodes?
Hi Leigh today I watched watching the clock episode and yep I did what you mentioned about stunts I saw the back of Clegg stunt up the tree then we see Clegg then see Clegg stunt down from the tree and Alvin stunt to down from the tree very good stunts
What you can't see, is when "real" Clegg, or whoever, is up a tree you usually don't see them full length, so you can't see the scaffolding tower directly under them, that they are probably standing on, and where the camera is situated!
It is a real studio audience, although they are watching the location and studio filming on a screen. Sometimes, I'm sure, they boost the laughter with something from another recording!
There were certainly several recordings of the theme tune, possibly one for each episode - as the theme usually transitioned into the incidental music - however this could have been done as an edit in the music track to add the incidental part. I didn't go as far as comparing the theme tune over time - I don't have a very musical ear, and I don't know anything about musical notation. However, undoubtedly new recordings would be made periodically, as technology changed and the way the show was edited developed, this could also have been an opportunity for a variation of the arrangement. One specific episode that is notable for being different is series 27 “Has Anyone Seen Barry’s Midlife Crisis?” - the theme does not feature a harmonica, and has noticeably more strings. Peter, however, is a musician - but I don't think I can persuade him to listen to every episode to compare the theme!
Hi Leigh I’m nearly at the end off the 00s last of the summer wine just finished series 29 and I noticed Ivy missed a few episodes then she was there in episode Eva back in town
I think Ivy was only in 4 of series 29's 11 episodes - however I would exclude "It's Never Ten Years", as that was Clegg, Truly and Alvin reminiscing over Compo (in flashback style) the only other regular being Nora. Nelly was only in 5 episodes, mainly the same ones as Ivy. Also, *most* of the time Ivy was missing we did not see Barry, Glenda and Miss Davenport as the stories focussed more on Alvin and Entwistle. Also the shots are not filmed in sequence, so if Ivy was only in part of the season, her appearances may well have been filmed in a few days, especially as she spends a lot of her time in the studio café set.
Hi I trying to remember a episode where Glenda and Roz are outside Glenda house then Roz ask where Barry going Glenda says something like he’s going to nature then Roz says you as daft as he is 😆
Leigh today I watched is Jeremy quit safe and when he was at pub backyard with the lady’s the green hills background looked a bit fake but building was real
The "pub garden" is the rear terrace of a house near St Johns Church, Upperthong Lane. The road in the distance is Cemetery Road, Blamire's house is just behind Alvin's head when he is sitting down in the final credits scene, and just off-screen to the right is Holy Trinity Church Burial Ground, where Clegg's wife was buried.
Ah yes great episodes happy birthday Howard a panda from Marina then Pearl not happy lol 🤣 and gnome and away a gnome for Marina and Clegg helps once again lol 🤣
Hi I watched tale of two sweaters 2006 it was 20 years in 2006 since merry Christmas Father Christmas episode 1986 a scarf from Marina then in 2006 a sweater from Marina bit similar nice that
My all time favourite TV show. I can watch it over and over again.
Those days won't ever come back
TV comedy has moved on, some of it is fair, but modern comic actors and comedians didn't have the years of experience that the performers in the old classics had.
@upstagedbyadog I am going to visit Holmfirth next year which I've always wanted to do. But yes the comedies of old were the best.
Thanks for another good one, another 20 episodes will be fine👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Bill... sorry, just one more to come, Sunday 29 Oct, at 7pm...
You’ll have to do first of the summer wine

Glad you enjoyed it, Mike. Join us nearly "live" on Sunday 29 Oct, at 7pm for the last video in this series.
Watched this series from start to finish several times. Still manages to give me a laugh.
Thank you Leigh, this was lovely.❤
You're so welcome, Patricia! I'm aware there are a few people with weepy eyes.
To bring a gentle storytelling attitude to a huge amount of highly interesting collation you make facts interesting.
Thank you, Alex, that's very kind of you to comment.
Thank you for your videos.
I just received your book “Summer Wine Decanted” via Amazon. Thank you so much 😊 big applause 👏🏻 from Germany 🇩🇪 ❤🇬🇧👋🏻
Thank you Stefan, hope you enjoy it! 😀

No "face-saving" needed!!
Good vid. It's nice to see all this. I grew up watching it. It's remembered very fondly.
Thanks "uha"... pleased you enjoyed the video!
Outstanding again leigh👏👏👏👏👏, much love from new🥝🥝🥝zealand, cheers all summer winos🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Thanks. The last one is too hard to handle.
Sorry! It's ben emotional for us "behind the scenes", too!
Another video? Oh thank you so much ❤❤❤. I like that.
You're welcome 😊 Stefan!

Thank you! The music was specially written and performed for the video series by Augusto Diniz linktr.ee/augustodiniz
Hey Leigh I just watched quick quick slow episode and saw Foggy stunt double sitting behind Foggy in the pub that was cool seeing Foggy Stunt double
Well spotted!!
Hi Leigh I just watched follow that bottle and I agree it was very bizarre seeing same bloke at the bar just near the lads and same bloke sitting down
... and it's not like there weren't 20 other crew members available to just sit in a chair with a drink!
Blimmey 100% of beloved actors in this series 😂😂 don't have a favourite i love 💕 them all Great channel 👍 Cheers Stephen 🍀🍀✌️✌️
Thank you, Stephen!
I do hope you have more ideas for your marvelous series Leigh, they are well produced and very entertaining. Perhaps bios of the players?
Thanks Jay, this is nearly the end for "Summer Wine Decanted" the final video is Sun 29 Oct at 7pm. That will be 26 videos! I'm moving on to another tv series, next!
Hi Leigh I noticed to Ivy missed out a cake or biscuit at Pearl house i agree it looked like Pearl got her own back because Ivy took the cake’s or biscuit away that’s funny lol 😆
Yes, Pearl was playing the long game - it took her 11 series before she got her own back!
Hi Leigh I watched when Alvin and Entwistle and Hobbo was chatting to Morton outside library and the audience had a lady laugh going ha ha ha ha it sounded real a bit
I sometimes think they have the "Crackerjack" audience watching the show!

Hey Leigh when watch 2008 2009 be for show ended the laughter was quite a good mix off laughter affects
It is a real studio audience, although they are watching the location and studio filming on a screen. Sometimes, I'm sure, they boost the laughter with something from another recording!
Hey Leigh I noticed the theme changed a bit in the 00s till 2010 that version reminds me off holmfirth a lot

I think russ abbot was a great replacement, another foggy. Thanks again for another great video cheers
Glad you enjoyed the video Peter!

You can't go far wrong with a sweater or a scarf ... but that didn't stop them giving each other a huge panda toy and a huge gnome!!
