Last of the Summer Wine

[Garmard]

Has the iconic comedy finished now? It has been going for about a thousand years and all of the cast are either passed away or too old to act.
What is happening with it?

I don't know, I just love the programme. Having said that with so many characters no longer around, maybe it's time to say goodbye.

Still going for now

No 6 more episodes this year.

Although the old cast are, as you say, gone or to old, they are being replaced with actors who are reaching thier vintage years. The format essentialy is the same there is still a trio of juvenile O.A.P.s.Who are now Bert Kwouk, Russ Abbott and Brian Murphy. Peter Sallis puts in the occasional appearance.

I enjoyed the format when Brian Wilde was in it, he played Foggy Dewhirst.....Amazing comedy actor.

Bert Kwouk, which part's he playing? I remember him when he jumped out of Peter Sellers' fridge in one of the Pink Panther films - what a claim to fame!

[Garmard]

Yes, i thought i recognized him although i am not a Pink Panther fan.
