Does anybody know how well the latest series of Summer Wine has done? Can't find any info on internet.
Also, Green Green Grass repeat figures Sunday before last - anybody have access to the viewing figures?
LOTSW - S30 - Viewing figures
I suspect that LOTSW's loyal audience dwindles each year due to mostly "natural causes". The downside of this sad fact is that with life expectancy projections continuing to rise, Coming Of Age's loyal audience might be around for another 100 years or so.
So it's done much worse than last year? Natural causes? I'm 17 and I watch it. However, on that line this years series might be the last I bother with. I don't like Russ Abbot much or the way this series has been eleven episodes of a continuing storyline. I like separate stories each episode.
Still, is there any figures out that to backup that its loyal audience is dwindling?
I'm 35 and it has basically been pretty much the same vein of whimsical banality since I was a kid. It's always smelt to me of stale shortbread and unspoken bigotry.

Sorry, Leevil, but I have no idea what that emoticon means - I'm not very good with them.

In fairness it is set in Yorkshire.

I interpret it as, not quite a laugh, but more than a smile.
Ah, right. Now then, which ones are the laughter ones...?

(Really) I thought it had only dropped in quality this year. However, thinking back, Getting Sam Home was a top-notch sitcom episode, something that LOTSW isn't now.
