If your a fan of the Last of the Summer Wine, then you are going to love this one. I've been hoping for the some time that they would bring out some of the Christmas Specials .At last they have given us four of them. Two of them are great, A tune on a penny wassail and Whoops. The other two are good, just not great. A dewhurst up a fir tree and All mod conned. But if your a fan then you will enjoy all four. I would highly recommend getting Last of the Summer Wine Christmas Specials.

Last of the Summer Wine is my all time favorite. I've taped it off the TV when I was able to. I've purchased the series from England and even bought a DVD player that would enable me to watch them. The characters are always fun to watch especially in the '70s '80s and '90s when I thought they were at their peak. Some of the writing after that was a little repiticious but I didn't mind hearing it again. I am sickly and spend a lot of time in bed. This is the perfect time to have a Last of the Summer Wine marathon. :-) I miss all of those not with us any longer especially Kathy Staff but as long as the old episodes of LOTSW are around so are they.

I LOVE Last of the Summer Wine. Foggy, Campo, and Clegg are just hysterical. The trouble that they can find in such a small town is amazing. The character actors are great. Wish we had some decent type of TV programs like this in America. Would watch this any time it is on or if I could get more of their DVDs would buy them in a minute.

I absolutely love this show. The synopsis has one error in it. The village is called Holmfirth. The mountain range is the Pennines. These lads can find more mischief to get into in a sleepy little village, it's amazing. They even manage to turn the Yuletide on it's ear. I roar with laughter every time I see them.

The Last of the Summer Wine series is great. I have bought all that I can for now and am waiting for more to come out. These men are hillarious. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD.

As usual, a great DVD. Shows I had not actually seen before. I just wish they would release more. There are 30yrs worth of shows!

I enjoy the British humor. I could not think of a better way to spend some holiday down time than watching these episodes of Last of the Summer Wine.

We never get tired of watching Foggy, Clegg and Compo. These Christmas specials are great entertainment for our whole family

Last of the Summer Wine was the longest running sitcom (30+ years) in the world and now it is available on DVD. The holiday specials are as loony and wonderful as the other episodes---three old men who grew up together in a village in Yorkshire now up to all kinds of mischief in their retirement. They decide it's not too late to stand on their heads in the schoolyard or to jump off buses yelling "Geronimo!" Scruffy Compo wants a skateboard for Christmas, ex-Corporal sign-writer Foggy Dewhurst decides to go Christmas shopping in August and winds up with a forest full of insect-ridden trees. Norman Clegg calls an old friend to wish him a Merry Christmas, but the friend's shed is on fire and he's trying to reach the fire brigade. The episode called "All Mod Conned" is one of the funniest and strangest Christmas stories ever told and ends with the three main characters (Compo, Clegg and Foggy) rowing home in a loo. All this magic is created by three great comic actors: Bill Owen as Compo, Peter Sallis as Clegg, and Brian Wilde as Foggy.Last of the Summer Wine: Christmas Specials 1978-1982
