By not bothering to get up on Monday and Friday, one could avoid Opportunity Knocks and Miss World. No small bonus. Bonuses? Yes, well. This theory of the good life is rather thrown out of true by Last of the Summer Wine (BBC1), a new, mellow and gorgeous comedy series.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 20th November 1973

The Last of The Summer Wine by Roy Clarke in the Comedy Playhouse Series struck me as a delightful straight play. And I could have wished that something would strike the woman in the studio audience, who thought she was watching The Comedians.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 5th January 1973
