I hadn't realised it was still in production!   :blush:

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

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

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!

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

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

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

I'm used to being subdued by Mrs Clive.  :D

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

Certainly at the time, it would need a little modification now.

Yes, we look down on the toffs now!   :laugh:
