My Grandad loved this sitcom, so did I when I watched it with him. Seymour, Compo, Foggy, Nora, Clegg, Wally and Eli were all my favourites.

Brilliant, Bringing Sam home I think is Last of the summer wine at its very best, and Lynda Baron, Lilly bless her!. Pure magic, I never tire of it. Many thanks. Gérard lacey in Ireland.

[@alexlazebat839]

based on the book from 1975, slight changes have been made, blamire was in the book, wally batty wasnt a series regular then hence 2 scenes

[@NPA1001]

The was the first ever BBC extended Xmas special of one of their 30 minute comedy series.. programmes like Only Fools and Horses, One foot in the grave even up to Gavin and Stacey owe their classic Xmas episodes to this.

[@alexlazebat839]

@@NPA1001 was it the first? same year all creatures great and small made a 90 minute special as that series had finished in 1980 this was 1983

[@NPA1001]

All creatures wasn’t a 30 sitcom Summer Wine was..

I am most grateful for the lyrics provided here, not least because I am a big fan of the art of lyric writing, but also because I had been aware only of the charming orchestral version of this evocative theme. The author of the stories has to be one of the most gifted and deservedly enduring talents in sitcom writing. Take a big bow, Roy Clarke.

[@BruceCrossfield]

The best show

Getting Sam Home is my Favourite Episode ever.

I Love This T.V. Classic. Long may it Continue

[@Punki80]

Oh, thanks, I didn´t know this feature!

[@ThunderGobble]

Yep,,,Bill Owen (Compo) wrote the lyrics. Beautiful indeed.

[@warrenetchells9441]

I didn't know that

[@train4905]

Wow

[@songsmith31a]

How interesting. Bill Owen had a long career in film and kept his place among the front ranks right to the end.

[@alexlazebat839]

yes and apparently bill owen gave the idea to do the film in the first place whether thats true or not as also all creatures great and small did a feature length special in the same year

[@buddyfan1959]

first feature lenght with the great Bill Owen = Compo, Peter Sallis = Clegg and Brian Wilde = Foggy love the tune aswell, grt comedy show ever

[@alexlazebat839]

yes fun fact the original story was blamire

[@andrewhuckle803]

Getting Sam Home is so funny. I believe at the time it was trailed as a kind of ( film) for Summer Wine. If I remember correctly. Celebrating 10 years of the show.

[@alphauktelepictures]

it has been repeated, but most recently in the mid 90s

[@Punki80]

Thank you for uploading this! Could somebody please post the lyrics? My English is too bad to understand every single word :-(.
