5.0 out of 5 stars But where are the rest?, January 17, 2008

By 

Howie (Arkansas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1976 (DVD)

This is Series 3 from the delightfully warm and funny British sitcom about three old men from Yorkshire.

Here are the episodes from this series:
1. The Man From Oswestry
2. Mending Stuart's Leg
3. The Great Boarding House Bathroom Caper
4. Cheering Up Gordon
5. The Kink In Foggy's Niblick
6. Going To Gordon's Wedding
7. Isometrics And After

Special Features will be:
Interview with Brian Wilde (Foggy), Peter Sallis (Clegg) and Frank Thornton (Truly - Who doesn't appear in this series! His first appearance was Dec. 1997 - Series 18 Ep. 11!)

In this series we have Compo, Clegg, and new man Foggy (perhaps the best of the "3rd" men throughout the series) bringing us their schoolboy adventures in the picturesque village of Pennine up in the Yorkshire Dales. If you've not seen any of the episodes before don't be suprised if you are lukewarm to the program upon first viewing. This is a show that grows on you with each episode.

Now if Warner/BBC would only see fit to bring the remaining series out on DVD. After all this is the longest running sitcom in the world with 28 series!

Great , Wonderful show !!!!!!
It's not difficult to get hooked on this sitcom.
But why Warner/BBC here in America is releasing these shows like this I
will never know. Why don't they start at the beginning ??? There are lots
and lots of people here that would love to see this series released here,
maybe in box sets ???????
It's better to invest in a code free dvd player and buy them
from Amazon UK, at least they are releasing them in order as they were shown on BBC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another home run set of episodes from the lovable loafers., April 27, 2008

This review is from: Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1976 (DVD)

I got this vintage 1976 set last week and I've already watched each episode at least twice. The boys are at it again with their usual antics. The more I watch this show the more I like everything about it - the writing, the characters, and of course the beautiful Yorkshire setting.

I have one confession. I truly miss Michael Bates not that I don't like Brian Wilde, he is perfect. But I miss the rapier like delivery of Bates. Another drawback of this and the other sets that I own is that there are no inserts in the DVD packaging giving some more information like dates when the episodes were shot etc.

When is BFS Video going to wake up and produce a full set of DVDs for the American market akin to say the sets for "Are you being served?". Please guys get to it!

An absolutely delightful series.
