Last of the Summer Wine is one of the longest running and best loved comedy shows that the BBC have produced. The reason for its success must be down to its charm, its very clever scripts and central characters that have made this series one of Britain's best loved comedy shows. The series follows the second-childhood adventures of three old codgers, one-time school chums now retired, as they wonder about their West Yorkshire village and the surrounding countryside conversing idly and usually getting into trouble. There is Clegg (Peter Sallis), he is the neatly dressed philosopher of the three, he is a widower who retired early from his employment as a lino salesman. Cautious and sceptical, his is the voice of reason which if the others ever paid any heed, would make their lives less hazardous but also less interesting. Then there's the unhygienic but loveable Compo (Bill Owen) who, intellectually, is at the opposite end of the spectrum to Clegg. He wouldn't really call himself retired as he hasn't really ever had a job. He was once married but during the War his wife ran off with a fishing pole and he and his ferret now live in lodgings rented from the formidable Nora Batty (Kathy Staff). Nora is renowned for always haveing her hair in curlers and for wearing wrinkled stockings. Finally there's Foggy (Brian Wilde). Foggy is a retired soldier from the Army and is a keen leader of men. This current season is series 22. This was filmed just prior to Bill Owens death in 1999 and was filmed to be the Millenium special - it consists of the very final 10 episodes.
