Andrew T. Smith & Bob Fischer - Summer Winos: Volume 1: 1973-1978
Two Men, 295 Episodes, One Obsession
When two friends decided to watch all 295 episodes of legendary sitcom Last Of The Summer Wine in order, they got more than they bargained for. Not just plenty of laughs, but also a fascinating look at 20th Century British history through the eyes of Compo, Clegg, Blamire, Foggy and friends. This hugely expanded version of the popular Summer Winos blog sees Andrew and Bob reviewing the first five years of the show in depth, episode by episode. Expect giant carrots, mysterious matchboxes, wayward ferrets, catastrophic canoeing expeditions... and a little too much detail about the prices in Sid's Cafe!*
With extensive thoughts on each episode, contemporary reviews, 1970s audience feedback, newly-unearthed trivia and a foreword by Last Of The Summer Wine's own Crusher, Jonathan Linsley, this is the ultimate unofficial companion to the formative years of Roy Clarke's classic BBC sitcom.
