Trivia: Series 21 to 25 | Summer Wine Decanted

- In this video we will look at some of things you probably didn’t know or hadn’t noticed before - from continuity errors to behind-the-scenes secrets in series 21 to 25.
Sadly, Bill Owen died during filming for series 21. It was already known he was unwell, so some scenes were re-written to reduce his time on screen. Roy Clarke then had the unenviable task of dealing with the Bill Owen's passing. Rather than just write him out of the show, he chose to create a trilogy of episodes where Compo dies, is mourned and has a funeral. It is some of the best comedy television writing in history. It also gave the actors and characters closure.
The year 2023 marks 50 years since the pilot and first series of “Last of the Summer Wine” were broadcast. This series of videos is filmed in many of the well-known, and some less well-known, locations seen in the programme.

Nice video Leigh I liked Mrs Avery shame she left due to fall out with director i often watch Mrs Avery episodes i like her rivalry with Nora with there house work.
I know a lot of people did not like Mrs Avery. I think she would have made a good replacement for Nora, which Stella did in series 30 and 31. Stella's appearance was more organic, she was Nora's sister, but it would have been nice to have her in reserve to be able come back.
Hey Leigh I watched when Edie and Roz was chatting that was sweet them two Edie says it’s furniture day Roz furniture day what’s that when it’s at home 🤣 Edie is the day I do the furniture 🤣
What is odd is, although Roz had many men-friends, she was brought up with the same values as Edie, and does look after her own home. Even when I was young (1960s) Monday was still washday!
1:11 I loved the whole subplot of Ros/Roz and the history of her estrangement from her sister Edie. I’m glad they didn’t just throw her into the series with no explanation of where she was for all those years. 10:56 Probably one of the most poignant episodes written after Bill’s death. For once, Norman was the center of attention. 13:22 one of the funniest subplots of the later years - Glenda and Marina advise each other how to dress. Maybe Edie’s shielding Glenda from “sordid” things like Howard-and-Marina resulted in her not treating Marina with disdain, like the other ladies did.
Of course Dora Bryan was no stranger to the morally ambiguous role, and her gleeful giggle remembering past dalliances had not changed since her early days in films! There needed to be a reason for us not knowing about Roz and this was an inventive and original device. I'm pleased Clegg got a couple of episodes mostly about him, considering that Peter Sallis would soon be taking a bit of a back seat in the show. Certainly Glenda was somewhat shielded from the subjects the older ladies considered inappropriate … and Marina does wear nice shoes!
I don't know if it was intentional but Ros/Roz to Edie reminds me of Rose to Hyacinth Bucket, the embarrassingly flirty sister. I loved how Edie always tried to keep Ros quiet in front of Glenda, reminds me of how my own parents used to hush my uncles/aunts when they gossiped in front of me.
Thank you so much for keeping my favourite show alive. It is so great to hear all the interesting stories about the show.
Glad you enjoy it, Stefan!
Another belter, keep these coming please, better than the soaps👍👍👍👍
Thanks Bill 👍 Sadly, we're nearly at the end!
Thank you for this video - I've been watching and rewatching Summer Wine all my life and somehow never thought to watch a RUclips video about it. Really great effort into making this video with trivia.
Hi Kay! Pleased you found the video - there are 29 more episodes to watch! Like Summer Wine, it seems to go on for ever!
Thora Hird is a bit underappreciated in this show , I think her character is one of the best.. always reminds me of my mum & nan with the fake posh voice 😂
Even though she is advancing in years in later series, that is true to the character, and she still delivers with matriarchal authority!
I've been rewatching her earliest episodes and it's so funny seeing the origins of Hyacinth Bucket in her, like her constant accent changes, the way she tells her husband what to wear, and spoiling Seymour/Sheridan. I think they toned down that side of Edie later on, presumably to not confuse the two characters.
Really looks forward to this every Monday, will miss it when completed.
Thanks Arnold. The videos will still be here to come back to in the future. Hopefully, you'll enjoy some of the videos I have planned for the future.
Thank you so very much for all the research you have to do to get all of these situations out for us.
You are welcome, Eve!
Thankyou for your time to make this, a wonderful series keep them coming
Pleased you enjoyed the video Peter! There are 28 videos in my series ... and at last one more to come!
@@upstagedbyadog look forward to seeing it thanks again, like the series i cant stop watching them they cheer me up when I feel down
Simply excellence Leigh 👏👏👏👏👏, will watch thy last post again this stormy evening, always makes one cry, cheers from new🥝🥝🥝zealand Leigh, and cheers all fellow winos 🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks again, Gunner!
great upload leigh
my favorite seasons in the show were series 22-29(exc the episodes with audrey-i hate this episode as this one time character is center of attention) and boothroyd(another character i hated)
it would have been interesting in the later seasons of the show what wesley's role would have been if gordon hadn't passed away but i think he would have had either more storylines with barry/glenda-after thora hird death or wesley would have joined the trio(when clegg role started to decrease)
Hi Tenielle, pleased you're enjoying the videos. I'm sure many people had little time for any number of the one-off characters, who were usually brought in as "disruptors" to "make" a story happen. I think it's just like everyone one has a least favourite chocolate in the Milk Tray selection! If Gordon Wharmby had still been in the show we would never have had Entwistle in series 24, who - really - was only there to provide transport. That would have been a shame, although I think Burt Kwouk was under used. It would certainly have meant that Barry and Glenda might have more to do, and you never know, they might have had time to give Wesley a grandchild!
I saw Wharmby street in an episode and thought it was a pretend street name as a tribute, surprised there for a moment to see it as a 'real' street name. The Goodbye Compo tribute was really moving when it was originally on, there must be many more tributes that I've missed. Really enjoying this, keep the coming, and enjoy a coffee.
It was a tribute fake street name - watch again! ruclips.net/video/p6s5kgxSrxQ/видео.html
another most excellent video, thanks for taking the time to make these programs 🙂
Thanks Mick, glad you like them!
Thanks, great incite here into Compo's last few episodes. In some scenes the double was very evident like in the drinking scene in France with the landlord. I was thinking that it was Compo's double in the scene from Under the Rug there the Thursday's was introduced which would be used again in the Fallen Wellies trilogy.
Pleased you enjoyed the video, Donal. There are "give-aways" that a double is being used, mainly, hiding the actors face... which is what was done in those scenes.
Thanks for upload. Superb knowledge
Thanks Chris ... months of research ... and I'm still falling over more details almost daily!
A fine mini documentary series given with good humor and so much research it must have taken care and love.
Thank you Alex, it is the result of two years research and filming!
Keep up the good work
Thanks, Lyall!
My headcanon about Compo's still living relatives, Gordon, Chip and family, is that they moved away, probably emigrated to the places like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Well, quite a few characters (seen and un-seen) went to Australia!
In Under The Rug Compo is in pub scenes were they filmed on location?
That is the White Horse location interior with its new wallpaper. Behind the bar you can see through the open door you can see lots of clutter in the next room. In a studio that would often be closed or even a door fixed in place. You also get a good view of the ceiling. Some studio sets do have a ceiling or partial ceiling, but they are usually avoided as they cause problems with lighting. Bill Owen was not in any studio scenes in series 21, the locations are always filmed first, so unavoidable changes on location can be reflected in the studio shots - e.g.: if it's raining on location, characters can enter the studio sets with wet raincoats on!
I'm sure I remember seeing the ladies practicing their cabaret number before going off to tragically surprise Compo, and I saw it on New Jersey public television (not sure what year). Perhaps it was at a later date that the lawyers put a stop to playing the song for copyright reason.
It is possible you saw it used in a trailer for the show...
Hi Leigh when watched an apple a day near the end of the episode Pearl had dark glasses on in pub car park next time you watch it again see if you noticed to
Yes, right at the end - well spotted. I thought they might be reactive like mine - I usually try and remember to wear plain lenses on camera - but those were definitely different frames, too!
Hey Leigh an apple a day episode is funny it’s nice to that guy with apple who was in keeping up appearances episode country retreat funny guy 😀
Summer Wine was his last TV appearance, he worked continuously from 1953, mostly in tv, in comic and serious roles. He was frequently on Harry Hill's shows and The Basil Brush Show!
Any idea why Mrs Avery actress didn't get on with the director?
The Daily Mail article does not give any more info. The article was to promote a BBC3 comedy series called "Dead Boss". She says she had difficulty getting work: "I’d love to bury She Devil and be in EastEnders, Emmerdale or Coronation Street and have tried to get parts in them. But I’m told I’m still too famous for She Devil. I won’t stop knocking on their doors though!" - I would have thought the Summer Wine role was a great opportunity to shake off the "She Devil" and get her other parts, but she had few roles after Summer Wine.
@@upstagedbyadogit was very very moving to watch Leigh is makes 😂
Hi Leigh just watched all of Florrie episode when the lads picked up Marina in Entwistle truck I noticed the driver was Entwistle stunt man not Entwistle I’m getting clever at noticing stunts 😀
The very brief view of "Entwistle" does not look like Burt! It is noticeable how they avoid showing the drivers side of the van cab throughout that scene!
Hi Leigh I watched why is Barry at an angle and while the lads was with Barry at pub the pub lights was so bright where they sat it might be the studio lights to the white horse
I will have to re-watch that bit. They often light location interiors with a lot of studio lights shining through windows to give a realistic effect of daylight.
Hi I watch the incredible ordeal of Norman Clegg and the lady’s was at Pearl house then Roz says what did we do yesterday who’s turn is it today i think she was try to make conversation lol 🤣
Even after being around for nearly two series (as a viewer) Roz was still a bit of an outsider!
Hi I watch an apple a day and heard same bird song in background while the lads at the farm heard the same bird song in keeping up appearances episode the christening when Hyacinth and Richard was with the hippies I heard the same sweet bird song
The BBC have a huge library of their own sound effects, so you will hear familiar sounds. One that amuses me is a sound of a car stopping and the doors opening / closing (eg: in series 3 episode 1 of "The Good Life" The Early Birds) were not only frequently used on tv, but also included on a BBC Sound Effects vinyl record for free amateur use!
