I hadn't realised it was still in production!

Longest running sit-com ever, isn't it?  Never found it funny myself.

[Clive]

The problem I had was my dislike for many of its characters.  OK, all of its characters.     Well I didn't mind Peter Sallis so much.

I loved the spin-off series, All Creatures Great And Small.  The old geezers made guest appearances each week, pretending to have a cow/dog/ferret which always needed a vet to conduct invasive exploration up to his elbow.  My, how those ferrets wiggled!

[Simon]

That goes to show how much I watched it.  I hadn't a clue All Creatures was a spin off of Summer Wine! 

[GillE]

It wasn't.

 

[Simon]

I didn't watch that either. 

[Clive]

   Rik will explain Simon.  Oh wait... he's a southerner too.   

[Simon]

I think he might have something to say about that, Clive! 

[Rik]

With Clive being Welsh, Simon, it's pointless trying to explain - they've never got over having been subdued by the English. 

[Clive]

I'm used to being subdued by Mrs Clive. 

[Rik]

Kinky. 

[Clive]

Knowing one's place.

Cleese, Barker & Corbett.

[Clive]

An unforgetttable classic by any standard!  And oh so true!
