The Special episode getting Sam Home was first broadcast about 7 months before I was born. Peter Sallis was born 1 to 2 years after all my grandparents. This was a great episode of a great show. May all the departed cast and crew rest in peace.
This episode is one of the best, it’s surely bittersweet but it shows a lifelong of friendship and in a crazy way what a lot of us would like to do if we could.
New subscriptor keep going I love last of the summer wine I'm 38 I haven't watched it lately as I no longer have gold but in gonna start again and get some dvds
"this episode Getting Sam Home was a special episode shown in movie form and without a laugh track and I love the scenes of Foggy pretending to be Sam's corpse in the little building behind the house where Sam and his shrewish wife lived and the neighbor is out walking his wife's poodle dog and the poodle runs to the building where Foggy is and the neighbor peeks in and Foggy rises up dressed as Sam's corpse and scares the neighbor so bad it puts him into a catatonic state that was very hilarious loved it and i still watch it if it's possible."
I will admit that I first saw Last of the Summer Wine a year after it came to an end. I was used to seeing it as a light-hearted romp, so when I first saw Getting Sam Home, I was slightly taken aback by the eerily bleak atmosphere and thought it was a very peculiar thing for the show to do. After doing some research, I realised that this was an adaptation of the original novel, which was pretty dark anyway. Nowadays, I can appreciate the interior monologues that characters such as Sam and Clegg deliver, and the discussions of life and death. Getting Sam Home is a good way to explore the subtle themes in the show.
Aaahhhhhhh....... gentle English nostalgia..... Each episode of LotSW leaves me with a warm Reddy-Brek glow..... I'd love to grow old disgracefully like the boys.... Sadly the wife won't let me.
Getting Sam Home is the pinacle of LOSW. Great work here can see you both work in media. Fantastic use of the original music too (where did you get that from?) So nostalgic.
Love the series have done a version of the music score Great job guys cool post one of my fav shows of all time Cheers ..... Summer Winos ......... fastaff08 ....... :)
This is frustrating as it talks about a film that does not appear to be available on RUclips. I probably saw it at the time but that is nearly 40 years ago.
Does anyone know where the house of Lily Bless Her is. There is a street sign outside the property in the episode that says Sugden Street, but there does not appear to be a Sugden Street in Holmfirth.
I've just finished watching Getting Sam Home. It's not my favourite episode & at 90 mins, for me it was too long. For me, the pinnacle of LOTSW was Pate and Chips - amazing writing & scene direction. But thanks. I enjoy these Wino episodes.
But where are these locations. Holmfirth ? Marsden ? I am trying to visit as many locations as I can but this is not really helpful in guiding me to the exact locations. Very disappointing as “ getting Sam home “ was one of my favourite episodes.
Lots of the later episodes were Marsden like auntie wainwrights and the pub they were always at The Riverhead Brewery Tap, notice lots of street scenes there filling in for Holmfirth
It turned up at some point last year, but I think the main reason the three feature length specials are not shown more often is just that they are an awkward length!
Forest Road I was walking past on my way home from school and round there was packed and I could see a garden shed with smoke pouring out www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.6419376,-1.7531751,3a,90y,42.32h,72.22t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1svWDxbbN1CUhYBIo4OzpaRQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
I like the video,any chance we could have more videos of the sameFor one make the videos longer,and two show a few second video clips when your at the location.Cheers guys
I think the no audience in this episode was a big mistake.Only fools and horses tried it with one of their xmas episodes too and it died on its arse...hardly ever repeated.
Getting Sam was my least favourite episode ever...no studio audience laughter left the humour flat and the whole thing was quite morbid and out of character...barely repeated for good reason.Even John Comer was quite ill as it was being produced...a real downer.A location missing was Sam's home from where his corpse was removed...i don't know if you were aware but that was filmed miles and miles away in Almondbury..nowwhere near Holmfirth.That also struck me as very odd.I live opposite a park in Huddersfield and can always remember being awoken one sunday morning to the clanging and knocking of crew cobbling together a camera track for an episode.Then spending the rest of the day watching from my garden Brian Wilde coming in and out of the bushes covered in camoflage twigs and leaves...great actor.

I'm a massive LOTSW fan, and this is one of the most genuine and charming videos I've ever seen. Absolutely love it.
Thank you Colin, that means a lot to us!

Great Job boys !
Thanks for the memories :)
This has just been on the DRAMA Channel this afternoon. Being a big fan have watched, probably every episode, when it's on.
Getting Sam Home is the pinacle of LOSW. Great work here can see you both work in media. Fantastic use of the original music too (where did you get that from?) So nostalgic.
Sam's home is on Forest Road, Dalton near Huddersfield. I spent a couple of weeks watching them doing the night time shots.
I've got this special absolutely brilliant and Sam's girlfriend s name Lilly bless her can't get a better name than that
Love the series have done a version of the music score Great job guys cool post one of my fav shows of all time Cheers ..... Summer Winos ......... fastaff08 ....... :)
are you going to upload any footage from crusher at the cafe? cheers
We've no plans to upload any video from that event, I'm afaird. Mayble it'll happen again some day.
This is frustrating as it talks about a film that does not appear to be available on RUclips. I probably saw it at the time but that is nearly 40 years ago.
Where was the chip van reveal please. Been bugging me for years.
Does anyone know where the house of Lily Bless Her is. There is a street sign outside the property in the episode that says Sugden Street, but there does not appear to be a Sugden Street in Holmfirth.
Does anybody know where is the yard with the chip van. Thanks.

Fun Fact: “My Grandad once had the same haircut as Sid”
Great video, lads. Do you've any idea why Getting Sam Home is never shown on Gold? It's been years since I've seen it aired.
It turned up at some point last year, but I think the main reason the three feature length specials are not shown more often is just that they are an awkward length!
I LOVE THIS!
Great work guys. Do you happen to know the location of Sam's House, Hillcrest. It has alluded me as to where this is! Perhaps Almondbury Huddersfield?

You couldn’t find sams house.
