I'm enjoying these Leigh. I've watched MOST of "LOTSW". I'm catching up though. I'm American and although we had a Few British shows here like "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Are You Being Served" it's only in the last decade, thanks to the Internet, that I discovered "Last".
are we going to see a video on the stalwart protectors of the Holmfirth "patch"? two of my favorite episodes are when Auntie Wainwright "sold" them a motorcycle and Edie terrorized them.
Hi Leigh watched the man who nearly knew Pavarotti and Auntie said to Smiler being forceful and executed Hyacinth said the same line in keeping up appearances to Richard 😀
Until now, I had no idea what Smiler's real name was! Too bad the Mrs. Avery character was written-off; in appearance Mrs. Avery reminded me of a younger version of lumpy, domineering women like Nora and Ivy. I don't recall Tom's daughter Babs ever speaking in any of the episodes she was in! She sort of wandered around, looking a pregnant zombie. You can tell the writers had no idea what to do with Babs. Her eye makeup suggested "Punk", but her clothes and hair were anything but.
I think, if Kathy Staff had needed to leave the show earlier, Mrs A would have ben an ideal candidate to carry on in her place. Bab's was Mr's A's niece, no relation to Tom.
@@FrancoiseBonnefoy1 Some facebook group about LOTSW has a 2012 comment (this isn't the exact quote from Julie and I can't locate the article online) : "I didn't like Mrs. Avery in Last of the Summer Wine. I enjoyed the cast and crew but didn't like the director" so it looks like a fall out with Alan Bell was the reason she left.
Most of the press reports of his death were on 8 Nov 2022, but none of them gave a date, people assumed it was the day before. I don't rely on details on Wiki.
This was excellent thank you from New Zealand 😊😊😊😊

@@Scotty19 well spotted!
Hi ya Leigh hope you are well and I really liked Smiler years I watch now and then it’s nice he does Blakey impression oh oh 🤣
I don't know if he just couldn't help doing it - or if Alan Bell or Roy Clarke thought it would be a funny call-back!

I liked the Mrs. Avery character as well. I wonder why she left?

@@DMfilmfan Thanks for this.
Apparently (according to the Daily Mail, 22 June 2012) Julie T Wallace did not get on with director, Alan J W Bell.
Great series! However according to Wikipedia Tom Owen died on the 7th November 2022, not on the 8th October. Which is correct? 🤔
