Making of Last of the Summer Wine 1998 - "Beware the Vanilla Slice"

[@johncahalane7327]

In 2010 after 37 years the last of the wine run out, but seeing Peter and Bill lying side by side in eternal peace brings it home, it was a family show in every sense.

[@janicewright9642]

I watch this almost everyday. Broke my heart when Compo died. I know we all have to go, But I Love his character, so very much.

[@Delboy591]

Hard to believe they're all gone now. Don't make them like this anymore.

[@gwyngriffiths4620]

That's so true, as today's comedies are full of vulgure launage and there's nothing funny about swearing, and they don't make em like they used 2, I miss the old classic comedies, and they don't show them anymore incase people get offended, and that's just sad and pathetic if you ask me.

[@TheHeman3]

I also find it hard to believe that men in their 80s and 90s are no longer with us…..

[@Delboy591]

@@TheHeman3 It was an observation on how quickly time goes by. It only feels like yesterday they were on our TV every Sunday. But thanks for adding your pointless facetious comment. 👍

[@annettewalter2273]

They were brilliant at making it all look so natural. The best series ever 😂😂😂

[@chriscars3578]

This was the best tv show ever I keep watching all the episodes over and over again fantastic 👍👍.

[@pops1intn]

i cant get enough,i watch them over and over,thanks for the upload.

[@cjhards]

You & me both! So enjoyable to watch.

[@rhiannonrede]

Lord, how I miss them all. 🇺🇸

[@albertsmith1048]

Unbelievable, 03/07/2022 been up to the Graves of these two this morning to pay respects. Turn on the computer on returning home and this pops up on KZbin, coincidence or what.

[@madmurdock100]

Big Brother is watching you

[@bethmc717]

Wish I had seen them filming ,huge fan huge respect to all these talented actors

[@tommybrackett5519]

I have the full box set and watch them over and over lol... Great wonderful show!

[@geoffmassingham785]

Thanks for that insight into filming..... I can't get enough of SW!! In fact at the end of May we're spending a week in Holmefirth sight seeing and hopefully get a little closer to what I believe to be the best comedy in TV history! !!!!

[@SummerWineHomeVideos]

Hi Geoff. Sorry for the late reply. Glad you liked my video. Hope you have a lovely time in Holmfirth. Its quite surreal to see all the places that you've seen so often on the show. Be sure to visit the cafe, Nora's steps and the Summer Wine museum beneath them. Also The White Horse pub in Jackson Bridge which is about 6 miles from Holmfirth.

[@janicedobyns7537]

Hi Geoff, oh, you are so lucky to get to go and see Holmefirth. Good luck, and enjoy.

[@anthonyfawcett8512]

Just watching the 3 episodes that cover Compos funeral. Gets me every time😞

[@williamconnell6541]

INMO This was the best programme on TV ever. i loved every character and have watched the reruns for years, hoping to get another rerun soon as its been about 3 years since the last one, here in N.Z. anyway.

[@pumukli8932]

This series is just the best cure for bad days ❤😂

[@marynafalck5502]

There will never be anything so funny and so well scripted and acted as this series😂. Mrs Bouquet comes close. Keeping up appearances.

[@travelbyutube]

Will never stop watching!! Even though ive all the dvds i keep watching them when they on tv too. 😍 Thanks for sharing the video

[@levimacdonald5188]

Wonderful💙👌👌👌👌😂.. Rip to the the cast😭

[@stevecurley6031]

So sad but all good things come to an end. Hopefully reruns will keep them all around.

[@TheTimmyH]

To think Bill Owen (compo) passed away less than a year after this filming...

[@LawnMowersThingsThatMakeNoise]

Did he know that he was unwell at the time of this filming ?

[@dominicberesford5459]

@@LawnMowersThingsThatMakeNoise I believe it was while filming the millenium special in 1999 that he knew he was ill and he obviously had lost a lot of weight through the illness. He really wanted to give it his all right to the end. There’s a real poignancy at the end of that special where Compo plays The Last Post on the bugle.

[@lsmith992]

@@dominicberesford5459 There are 4 episodes made the following year and the first alludes to his presence but of course he's not there. Compo' s death is attributed to seeing Nora Batty in non wrinkly stockings, I think it was. Then there's the message Goodbye Compo on the hillside by people in white overalls and the discovery of his Thursday lady. And his real life son turning up. I missed all these episodes first time around as life was busy and I'd seen it from the start and grown out of it (69 year old Yorkshire woman here) but found this group of them recently.

[@AquaMarine1000]

All I can say I'm thankful the producers used real cameramen to film the show.

[@dpshtfc764]

huddersfields finest and amazing film location

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

I started watching this Britcom on WNED (a PBS affiliate in Buffalo/Toronto I get on Spectrum cable) when I learned Peter Sallis (who voiced Wallace in Wallace & Gromit) had passed away in 2017...I really loved this show. The day I learned that WNED would be taking this program off the air in June 2021 was a rather grim day for me...it had been months after WXXI (a PBS affiliate in Rochester, NY I also get on cable) stopped airing Are You Being Served?, and it was a show a net friend got me into watching because it was so campy. And this is coming from a woman who lives in the United States of America.

[@bruceanderton1518]

A very wobbly production!

[@ashtreewood3730]

Wow I worked round corner from ere at Crowthers mill as a carding engineer when this was filmed.

[@annettetonan7774]

Last of the summer wine was very good the cast was brilliant out of all the star's on there's my two favourites was compo and Elie the old block who used to look the other way when people used to talk to him he played a good part of being crossed eyed I liked them all though it will never be the same without last of. the summer wine I give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

[@charliebrooks4414]

I love this program my mother and father got me to watching it and for 9 years I watched it on PBS I sure would like to get a DVD from the beginning to the end

[@richhughes7450]

If you have not seen the first series then you will be surprised how different they were.

[@harrycallaghan3057]

Like everything, you only appreciate it when it's gone.

Just ask Kathy to shoo them away!!!

[@DamiensTrainsandTravels]

Nice videos used to love this show and fact Peter Sallis was also in Wallace and Gromit, this was filmed few days after my birthday 22nd August.

[@gerrypowell2748]

So missed❤️

[@Anthonyinkz]

Good old days, compo and clegg are actually buried side by side, and their they sit side by side , very sad indeed.

[@bexboo8]

precious

[@Hector-yy9dr]

I wonder if the tall bloke with glasses at @2.52 is Brian Wildes son Andrew.. Maybe not, just a thought

[@alexlazebat839]

Andrew Wilde is the film editor and he was an actor in Sherlock Holmes The Thor Bridge he was a sergeant

[@nicholasgladwell99]

Brilliant ,I watched them making three men and a mangle .

[@michaelholmes4374]

They were more gentler times I miss them

[@fletcherhamilton3177]

Oh? I can’t remember but I thought it was Foggy as the third man until 2000? Unless it was 1999 and a year until broadcast.

[@alexlazebat839]

nope Foggy had contract pneumonia in 1997 meaning he was unavailable for the start of the series as a consequence series 19 is written for Foggy but stars Truly. i think series 20 is better than 19. Also some series 18 are filmed in wettish conditions and have copyright 97 unless the studio scenes are done much later.

[@jocelynnewton1670]

Can we have some with Eddie, just some change pleas

[@plasticbucket]

For me it finished when Compo left

[@richcampoverde]

Kids disrupt iconic show and get a bollocking from a producer. I bet they still laugh about it 🤣

[@frankiestein7852]

God they’re all wonderful but I would be absolutely terrified of them in person! Especially while they’re working (I wouldn’t want to accidentally annoy them or get in the way and interrupt) but also don’t get me wrong I would still loved to have met them…unfortunately can’t though due to obvious reasons I’d especially want to meet (and be the most petrified of peter sallis mainly because I have a crush on him)

[@Paul-sz1no]

Great show when Brian Wilde was in it.The last 3 or 4 seasons were absolutely terrible especially when Russ Abbot was in it.Really dreadful.Too much bloody Howard and Marina!
