I like to come back to this when I need cheering up . I love how it portrays Yorkshire folk. Compo, Clegg and Foggy were the best and so amusing together. Nora Batty, Ivy, Edie and Wesley, Auntie Wainwright, Pearl and Howard I love them all. Rest in peace and thank you for the non-trashy TV unlike that which surrounds us these days.
I still find it hard to believe, after meeting Bill Owen (Compo) in person many years ago, that he actually spoke with a middle class Cockney accent in reality, but could do a beautiful Yorkshire brogue (Just like my own :-D) with no problem at all. I truly miss all these wonderful people, but in my mind, their bodies may have passed away, but their characters and legends will live on eternally :-)
@@dpinto6278 He was a true gentleman, loved talking to his fans, and put on his character for anyone who wanted it. Wonderful, warm personality, who fell in love with Holmfirth, where they filmed the series, and is now buried there.
We got the box set at Christmas did your wife get yours? At the moment we are watching re- runs on TV channel 20 (drama)it's on at 7.20 every week day at the moment it's with truly being the 3rd man
Think about how it would be without the music of Ronnie Hazelhurst His musical score is incredible Listening to the clarents and violins sets the mood Thank you mister Hazelhurst 😊😊
@@ruthdavies7550 Same age as me, Ruth. My second favourite episode of the lot. I recommend Oh Shut Up and Eat your Choc Ice - best of them all. Seymour is so eccentric!!!
@ruthdavies7550 , I am in the U.S. and watched this from the early 90's when PBS began airing it. I only wish that I could find every episode, from the very 1st episode to the very last. I'm sitting here watching this, laughing so hard that the tears are running down my legs!😂🤣😅
Man I miss all those folks, it was one great show, ran for a long time too, because it was so good! That Compo he was a damn nut, sht they were all pretty nutty that’s what made it so good! A lot of good ones from here have passed on too, R.I.P. all!
I love this show! Compo ( Bill Owen) really made the show! He was so funny! My neighbor used to call me every afternoon and we would watch the show and have a good laugh! Both Bill Owen are gone now, I miss them both!
Iconic person, makes me miss the days when life was like this, not the rubbish we have today. Would love to live around this area as I love the outdoors, very expensive though unfortunately
For those not aware of it, this series holds the record for longest running tv comedy series in continuous production. The first episode was aired in the early 70s and ORIGINAL episodes were still being filmed in 2007...IIRC. Obviously, by the end, the majority of the original cast had gone to their eternal reward. This series played on some PBS stations in America but did not prove to be all that popular, I am assuming because it is a bit too gentle in its comedy. When I first saw this series I was " middle-aged ", now that I am as old as many of the cast members were when this was filmed...I find it even more endearing. Nora Batty reminds me of my grandmother, tho I seem to remember my grandmother as dressing with more style. And the men remind me of my father's friends who used to meet once a week for card playing. It was the same night my mother met with her friends to play cards, so both had nights out.
Howard Kerr, I'm American and have watched BBC all my life. I adore the comedies, but I also love the mysteries. Watched father Brown last night. I too love the simple, clean, un political and dry humor. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙂🙂🙂💚
Decent little programme. Makes me think of Sundays as a child. Watching it, I mean. I wasn’t a retired Yorkshireman as a child. Nor am I now. You get the point.
Thank you to all the cast and crew of this wonderful show for all the years you made us laugh hope you’re all making everyone laugh wherever you are now R I P
Loved this show!!! It ranks at the top with Mr. Bean, As Time Goes By, Keeping up Appearances, May to December, Open All Hours, The Old Guys, Are you being Served, To the Manor Born, The Cafe' and Allo Allo.
English Welsh British accent cobblestone streets rolling hillsides brick houses with basements that rent out warm and happy people beautiful establishments and wonderful pubs I love it
Started watching these original series after watching all with Frank Thornton group and thick accents require I listen carefully but still funny, funny, funny ❤
Thanks for the upload, I love the humour (I'm Lancastrian), this was my Dads favourite programme, I didn't understand why at the time but as I got older I did.🌹
This is my favorite show. I love all of them and would have liked to have been there and met them all. Truly wonderful performers! Their characters were so believable. Roy Clarke is a brilliant writer. Oh how I miss them all.❤
Those in charge at the BBC didn't have to like the show themselves, but they should have shown respect for the audience. If it pleases and is successful, then it can't be wrong. The cancellation of the series was wrong.
The best of this show were until Foggy left, the 70’s and early 80’s were the best, every episodes is like looking back to times sadly gone for good, if they were to do a new series now it could not be imitated, just like they tried it with Porridge and the film version of the Sweeney with Ray Winstone, no chance it would work.
14.26-14.34 - Compo's face when he's being insulted, "because you look disgusting", but you have to love how the insults just roll off him, 14.45-14.47 - "arr, but apart from that", lol! Bill Owen was great in the role of Compo.
I love these guys ,compo,gleggy, foggy, Wallie,and zid and ,seemor,the ladies Nora reminds me of my god mother and neighbor tough and real i mean i strat my morning with a show and end ot with another and you no there not here in the physical form anymore but i believe we will a see one another when are curtain of live draws to its last call RIP
Last of the summer wine... Perhaps. More like , the generation that saved the world. Trying to have a childhood that they missed. Before they are called to come to God. WWG1WGA
Apparently her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll loved this show, and everything in the palace stopped when she was watching it. Nobody was allowed to interrupt her viewing!
The older I get the more I relate. I like to think that in the afterlife they are still wandering the Yorkshire hills in some Waiting for Godot esque scenario.
"the way Compo goes on about Nora is kind of silly and to him she maybe beautiful but he just goes on a little bit too much, he's just to nosy when it comes to her."-😄🖥🍺☕🌐..
She cried the hardest during his funeral. 😢
Compo and Clegg are buried side-by-side in those hills and there are tours.
I like to come back to this when I need cheering up . I love how it portrays Yorkshire folk. Compo, Clegg and Foggy were the best and so amusing together. Nora Batty, Ivy, Edie and Wesley, Auntie Wainwright, Pearl and Howard I love them all. Rest in peace and thank you for the non-trashy TV unlike that which surrounds us these days.
Amen.
Amen 🙏 to that with best wishes from South Africa ❤
@@all4paws508 thank you
Yes. Me too, always makes me smile.

What was he like?

The wife says that she is getting me the box set for Xmas. My life is complete.
We got the box set at Christmas did your wife get yours? At the moment we are watching re- runs on TV channel 20 (drama)it's on at 7.20 every week day at the moment it's with truly being the 3rd man
My go to series for feeling good. Wonderful, real characters who knew what true friendship was.
Love those guys bumbing round English country side
These videos were at my local library in Phoenix AZ and would borrow these when kids were small. We loved watching them
Think about how it would be without the music of Ronnie Hazelhurst
His musical score is incredible
Listening to the clarents and violins sets the mood
Thank you mister Hazelhurst
😊😊
Thanks For The Reply 🙏
I absolutely love this . It takes me to a world full of good clean fun no agenda.
Bloody hell, the tears of laughter running down my face. I'm 52 now and remember watching the series with my Dad years ago and roaring

We should all be so lucky to have friends like this at least once in our life.
This was my favorite English comedy back in the day I liked everybody on that show

Totally agree 👍
It was filmed in Holmfirt, Yorkshire England which is a tourist destination, most of the shooting locations are available for visits
The theme tune floods back memories of watching with my mum and dad on sundays
It was the same with me
And me! 😊❤

1973 to 2010 for 31 seasons. But less than 300 episodes because of how few episodes per season many Brit shows put out
Decent little programme. Makes me think of Sundays as a child. Watching it, I mean. I wasn’t a retired Yorkshireman as a child. Nor am I now. You get the point.
Thora hird was a national treasure.
A little piece of England we all love ..
Love these British comedies!

Watching this lead to find Thora Hind"s sitcoms in loving memory and Hallelujah
My place to go when the real world gets too much
One out the hundreds of episodes that is my favorite ! Script and Storyline Excells all the way around.
8:25 Edie gives nod to what would come in Roy Clarke's other program 'Keeping up Appearances'
This is my favorite show. I love all of them and would have liked to have been there and met them all. Truly wonderful performers! Their characters were so believable. Roy Clarke is a brilliant writer. Oh how I miss them all.❤

Thanks for the upload, greetings from Costa Rica 😎
I loved these characters. What a shame they are all dead. Ah, good memories though.
Funny how Compo Mouths Seymour's lines at the table drinking tea
I agree, a HAPPY PLACE is a MIRACLE ! I plan on visiting this year
I think the Queen should knight compo for been the greatest actor in England
The best of this show were until Foggy left, the 70’s and early 80’s were the best, every episodes is like looking back to times sadly gone for good, if they were to do a new series now it could not be imitated, just like they tried it with Porridge and the film version of the Sweeney with Ray Winstone, no chance it would work.
Love of how gossip spreads easily through the village.
Love this one. Try Waiting for God. You should love it.
Might be long gone but still in my mind for always and forever
14.26-14.34 - Compo's face when he's being insulted, "because you look disgusting", but you have to love how the insults just roll off him, 14.45-14.47 - "arr, but apart from that", lol! Bill Owen was great in the role of Compo.
Best Comedy ever on TV
As An American I think "Are you being served" was funnier
Wrong...The Office, I'm Alan Partridge, The Royle Family
wel ik geniet er nog altijd van .
I rate last of the summer wine at the top with Mrs Browns Boys
Awsome,thanku😊
Thank you very much, I love this.
Why don't they make comedy like these any more
I love these guys ,compo,gleggy, foggy, Wallie,and zid and ,seemor,the ladies Nora reminds me of my god mother and neighbor tough and real i mean i strat my morning with a show and end ot with another and you no there not here in the physical form anymore but i believe we will a see one another when are curtain of live draws to its last call RIP

I never get enough, wish PBS hadn't taken it off
“Monday tomorrow and I haven’t done my homework…”
World's oldest teenagers
My favorite episode.
The older I get the more I relate. I like to think that in the afterlife they are still wandering the Yorkshire hills in some Waiting for Godot esque scenario.
I wish they would put that back on
Well said p.k.you echo my own thoughts.
Really hated whencompo wasn't on the show he was hilarious
He WAS this show. Honestly.
Melanie, I fully agree! 👍
Their tribute to him had me in tears. Poor Nora. It hit her hard.
So many comments coming down to what this show was not, and not what it was.
Ivy’s got a mean streak.
I loved Seymour wish he'd stayed longer.
Sadly, he WAS scheduled to .com back but he died 😢
I preferred Seymour over Foggy
I plan to revive the show in the same style as it was
"the way Compo goes on about Nora is
kind of silly and to him she maybe beautiful
but he just goes on a little bit too much,
he's just to nosy when it comes to her."-😄🖥🍺☕🌐..
I think it's cute, like a school boys crush.
I just spent 45 dollars on this phone and now it's saying I don't have minutes to watch my shows on RUclips how much does a person have to spend
Use your router on your computer, no extra costs
Not a single ad for me!
Me neither
Does anybody know the skipping song Compo is singing 15:39?
here, chaps, how many times has Compo fallen down on this show? dont think I'm complaining. he's quite good at it.
💕💕💕🌴
