last of the summer wine..
yer you all watch it I know ;)
I'm guessing like me, most of you grew up with it.. at a time when shops were shut on a sunday and bullseye or hart to hart was on .hehe
but today is the very last one..even if it's something you don't like, (lets just say I can miss it) it's been around a long time.

why do they have to end stuff like this. i presume for some crappy dancing show or some 8 week advertisment for a west end show by andrew (palpatine) lloyd webber
Kind of went off it when people started changing. I think I downloaded the earlier seasons a couple years ago somewhere.
i think you mean dying.
Which was what I was going to suggest for the finale...a shot of the graveyard with kids playing in front of it....leaving the door open for an new series in 60yrs.
you sick bastard. :-P
Give me Eastenders, i'm a celebrity in the jungle in the kitchen brother or even Dr Who any day over this. Very happy last of the summer wine is ending
I watch some current affairs and documentaries, or escapist entertainment, I pretty much detest talent shows or any so-called "reality" show.
Won't have Eastenders on, as I find it to be thoroughly unpleasant, though I still end up catching glimpses of it here and there, every few months, and don't like at all.
It's good that I don't like everything on though, be a bit odd if I did like all shows. I try to avoid putting the t.v on before 7pm so rarely if ever watch any of the daytime dross.
The only TV progs I watch are food programs and Top Gear, and usually they're on while I'm out, asleep, or at work, so I don't even watch them when they're on. The missus records them for me and I watch a few here and there on my nights off work.
Open All Hours
Love Thy Neighbour
In Sickness And In Health
Porridge
BRILLIANT!
He made a speech about how he started out working in a bank as a cashier...genuinely funny guy and very unassuming considering that he had just received his Doctor of Letters, has one of the most recognisable voices in British entertainment AND plays a lovable character in one of the UK's longest running sit-coms.
I became an instant fan!
He said STARS though to be fair.
:cry:
i saw him in a video shop in Huddersfield once. :-P
Some sectors claim that the Simpsons is the worlds longest running sit-com. :(
You're on to something there Kaija. Perhaps more people would watch Eastenders if there were more LOTSW style hijinx in it. Phil Mitchel could be having a barney with Nick Cotton and in mid punch up they have to pause as three old geezers in a bathtub on wheels with a afterburner whizzes between them. One old codger would shout, "eh up! It' 'oward and Peggy" and point as the barmaid and her lover emerge, crimson cheeked, from behind the bar and patting their clothing down,making themselves all decent and presentable.
Don't forget 'Only when I laugh'
I always liked "Going Straight" as well. Not quite "Porridge" but there or thereabouts. Ronnie Barker though, so pure genius.
"Clarence" is also a big fave of mine done by the great man.
I wish soap operas were seasonal like good programmes are. Six shows of East Enders once a year, that would be more than enough.
I thought corrie had that award ;)
i'd rather watch summer wine that mid-summer murders.. I had to watch that once :cry:
the thing that is weird for me, is well the young couple that are in it.. are old now.. well young compared to the others..
