Last of the Summer Wine

Last of the Summer Wine is a comedic sitcom TV series developed by BBC that centers on three elderly gentlemen living in the town of Yorkshire, England as they spend their days traipsing about town, not quite growing up despite their wrinkles and white hair. The Summer Wine trio, as they are known, are composed of William "Compo" Simmonite (Bill Owen), Norman Clegg (Peter Sallis), and Walter "Foggy" Dewhurst, each a man of a different history and type. Compo has never worked a day in his life and spends most of his time slightly panting over his next-door neighbor Nora Batty (Kathy Staff), a no-nonsense and married kind of woman. Clegg is a pessimistic straight man, who, out of the three, had lived a typical life as a salesman and had a loving and long marriage to his now deceased wife Edith. Foggy had been a soldier and often tried to take charge of the three, though Compo's childishness often got to the better of him. As the three often clashing men scheme, plot, and take off on little misadventures, the poor town of Yorkshire deal with a trio who definitely do not act their age. MORE
