    I watched an episode of last of the summer wine, just last weekend. It was the episode where they were planning compo’s funeral. I have to admit, I shed a tear. I noticed to that Peter Sellis was a bit teary eyed in places. They were clearly good friends, but I didn’t realize how close, being buried next to each other. Rest In Peace both. And thank you. Thanks to you too Paul for a great video.

      It's where he catches his words and it's obvious he's stopping himself from crying. There's 4 episodes about Compos death and all of them were a trial for him.
      Did you see the one where his Thursday lady (Liz Frazer) is found?
      She says "we go back a long way"
      A hint at the shared history of Carry On films where they overlapped in Carry on Cabby and Regardless?

    I'm from Australia and first saw them while on a trip to the UK in 1984. Loved them for their gentle humour and the way portrayed that they would not go quietly into the night. I am 72 now and this show seems to grow more relevant to me as each year passes. In fact this coming October will be my last trip to the UK and I will go up there to see the town they made famous and their resting place.

    I remember watching a documentary a few years back about Bill and Peter. Bill used to say to Peter during their breaks filming summer wine that he wants to be buried in that church yard. He said it was so peaceful and such a beautiful place, they were such close friends that Peter requested that he be beside Bill. Two great characters in summer wine along with Brian Wilde, the episodes starring them three were definitely the best.

Bill and Peter where like night and day totally different but the joy they both gave was timeless, even too this day watching them both brings back so many memories. I for one will never forget the slap stick humour and more importantly the memories I have today.
    Fantastic video as always, keep up the great work and we all respect your dedication.
    R.I.P BILL AND PETER THE LAUGHTER STILL ECHOS ON!!!

    Peter Sallis was a very decent bloke, as far as I'm concerned. I'm an American who fell under the spell of LOTSW circa 1997.....Mr. Sallis and I exchanged a few letters, back around 1999/2000, before his failing eyesight got the better of him. His correspondence was always hand-written; he answered all of my inquires; and he gifted me several signed photos. Ultimate respect & affection for both men....!!
