Last of the Summer Wine - The Heavily Reinforced Bottom

[@barbaramccoy7261]

Greatest bit of casting with Bill owens and Peter Sallis they were made for the parts

[@ginnylorenz5265]

And as Roy Clarke (the creator and writer of ALL of this series) said, the contribution of Ronnie Hazlehurst's magical music cannot be overlooked. It was an integral part of the glory of this darling show.

Compos death and goodbye from everyone on the show was so heart warming and sad at the same time

Who would have thought that a scruffy little character could become such a comedy icon and make this show what it was down load some of his early films etc he could play any part and the way he could be a Londoner or from the north or west country was great comedy or serious he was great R.I.P. compo and co all sadly missed this type of comedy is sadly no more

Oh how I loved this show...all the wonderful actors who gave so much life to each of the characters...And the beautiful country scenery of England. I wish it was still on, but Comcast decided to take it away from the viewers some years back. American TV shows don't seem to be as good as British shows, probably, because I think they must have better acting schools. One thing I am wondering about is, did they use canned laughter? When outside scenes are shown, there just couldn't be an audience. Anybody know? Frank Thornton was also in "Are You Being Served" as the Floorwalker at Grace Brothers Department Store, playing the part of Captain Peacock. I believe some of the wonderful actors have passed on...May they all rest in peace. 09/23/'18

[@cyclopsstaxx2849]

They would preview the shows to a select audience and record the laughs. they would dub the laughs in after that. I have heard that people would line up for hours to see the new episodes. In my opinion that made it much better than bland canned laughter. I hope that helps Ethel : )

[@petej3800]

As Steve Rice said they did a special preview so that they could record the actual laughter the directors said they would never use canned laughter as it was so false

I love this series - such a nice piece of British humour! But it is unfortunate that diminishing other nations is an acceptable thing enhanced by gross ignorance: the name Helga sounds more German than Ukrainian; the same can be said about the remark about the national cuisine - it is unlikely that the person who wrote the script had ever tasted it and the comment is made by a representative of the nation that does not hit the top ten as to the best food in the world.
