Just saw where Tom Owen/ Tom Simmonite passed away back in November 2022.....he was only 73! 😣 His father, Bill Owen/Compo Simmonite died at 85... Love these episodes , keeps them all alive in a sense. ❣️
Great story I heard about Peter Sallis. When Nick Park was making Wallis and Gromit and had little money he approached Peter Sallis (Clegg) about doing the voice. And Sallis agreed to do it for nothing as Park was skint, he said “if it’s successful then you can pay me”. What a guy!!!
m Clegg was the last to pass. In June 2017 Peter and bill were the only characters than never changed! Bill past in 1999 bill played compo for 26 years!
I have decided that as I get older I’m going to act like this group. The men anyway, they are so twistedly creative I laugh at the ideas they come up with.
Totally agree with comment about canned laughter. So annoying. Love every episode with Billy. Love Howard. Hate Pearl. Love Auntie. Love Entwistle. Love the policemen! Watch these episodes over and over. Thank you for making them available.
@@lewissmith5924 I don’t hate Pearl. I love the actress. I just can’t stand mean people. Hate was the wrong word. Thank you for making me back pedal. Repeat: I don’t hate Pearl. ❤️
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
As long as there is a loyal fan base they will never leave us. I stopped trying to figure out why liking this show has become such a part of me, maybe it's the town life?
To Be honest it’s the passing of the cakes around. My mum would always buy two chocolate eclair and keep one in the fridge. In case She wast fast enough.
I'll like some other show please I live on this show no guns no blowing up no swearing, I love it we need some others please thank you. And keep going on
I've watched this one, as long as all the others 100s of times over the years and yet never noticed that Clegg had lost most of his hair . Funny, I guess I've always been so enamored with him I just didnt notice. RIP my favorite actors and show.
Brian Murphy (Alvin) is one of my favourites of all time. As in George and Mildred ( Yootha Joice), gentle soothing comedy. And not fotgetting Stephen Lewis ( Smiley).

Mr. Singletary, I used to watch your videos because they were centered in the frame better than many others. Now the left hand side of yours are cut off as well.
I thought all the episodes without Bill Owen were far better! The practical jokes on each other reminds me of the jokes me and my friends played on each other.in our misspent youth.

Yes yes please.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
sad to see the *talent* slowly leave us WITH LITTLE TO REPLACE IT😞 A.I. *won't* replace this talent.
Such a relaxing show, when I get home after work so nice to watch so silly but in a wonderful way
Great writing! It's amazing how the writer's were able to weave the story lines together in such an easy way like this.
This is back when they knew how to write real stories for good actors and not depend on special effects.
Only ever had one writer. Roy Clarke.
"She beat him at darts domino's and arm wrestling" "probably trained by Nora Batty" 😂😂 brilliant 😂😂
This is still so much fun to watch. Like being with old friends who are always up to "summin". ❤️
Yes it's great. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love love love this show! No sex, no naked bodies writhing, just great humour! Many thanks!
And old fashioned acting. No green screen or special effects. Brilliant.
that is quality english
Back in the day, I wasn't all that into this series, but I will admit these shows are starting to grow on me.
I love the shows I laugh so much
I grew up watching last of the summer wine.takes me back to childhood
"She left me!" Says Smiles.
"How did you manage that? My missus never leaves me!"
Brilliant! Love this show.

i Love Cleggy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP 2017
love the 1st show .. perfect .. i miss all the older ones ; Jesus they all must be dead now
People back then had scruples!
m Clegg was the last to pass. In June 2017 Peter and bill were the only characters than never changed! Bill past in 1999 bill played compo for 26 years!
I adore Cleggy too. ".. for things romantic, you come to a man who wears thermal underwear?!" @dmalmostwan
Dora Bryan - Delightful actress.
Love all these movies!!
So unique , a great comedy,, put all these guys together , in for pure laughter,, they come up with the funniest scenarios
THIS PROGRAM IS MY GO TO TO GO TO SLEEP BY. I WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN . THANK YOU PRODUCERS.
Poor old Smiley unlucky in love!🐹
What wud u expect with a face like his 😕
Be nice to have a group of friends to get in trouble with like these mates.
".. he'd never be able to spell her!" 😂 👏 Brilliant!
I’d love to see Glenda with her hair flowing in the wind 👍
If you like Clegg then check out first of the summer wine it's about their lives at 18 years of age set in the 1930's
Nora: This stuff chosen for serviceability not for entertainment.
Alvin: You are not kidding there.
Bwahaha 😂 These two are my favorite.
Compo and nora was better though
I have decided that as I get older I’m going to act like this group. The men anyway, they are so twistedly creative I laugh at the ideas they come up with.
I am with you there! Can't wait!
Totally agree with comment about canned laughter. So annoying. Love every episode with Billy. Love Howard. Hate Pearl. Love Auntie. Love Entwistle. Love the policemen! Watch these episodes over and over. Thank you for making them available.
Why hate Pearl?
@@lewissmith5924 I don’t hate Pearl. I love the actress. I just can’t stand mean people. Hate was the wrong word. Thank you for making me back pedal. Repeat: I don’t hate Pearl. ❤️

These shows are pure greatness

Pearl is no longer with us.
sad-thanks for this
@@eepanusstar5940 Now neither are Howard & Marina.
Got a ear ache .. from cleaning my ear out with a bobby pin Glenda was right
Best show ever!! 😹😹😹😹😹
I'm Alvin, swimmer of rivers. And as always to much can laughter.
Remember when Smiler was a different character early on in the show and was in the hospital wanting to see his dog?
Clem Hemingway
Clem Hemingway
Any relation to Biff Hemingway?
Thank you, Thomas.
Actually Smiler, is probably the most grounded of the bunch.
I just learned we lost Electric Entwistle in May."See ya, Kato"!
I'll like some other show please I live on this show no guns no blowing up no swearing, I love it we need some others please thank you. And keep going on

I so enjoy all the characters. If I had to choose one as a favourite it would be Alvin :-}
same here-and Nora with Alvin
Brian Murphy (Alvin) is one of my favourites of all time. As in George and Mildred ( Yootha Joice), gentle soothing comedy. And not fotgetting Stephen Lewis ( Smiley).
@@johlene1813 Alvin is my favorite-love when he spars with Nora Batty!
I agree. He brought the childlike joy that compo had. Without copy.
"Howard and Pearl , Marina, Barry , Glenda actors are still alive. I think a few more as well.not sure
Did they write out both Wally Batty and Sid at the same time because they died?
Never heard smiler say I hate you butler
Different show.
Funny: some women as treacle tarts! There were none of those in this video. They were mostly mean and nasty.
I've never seen anybody with such a firm hold on stupidity 😅😂😅😂😅😂
Wo derful so easy to watch no smut no sindy comments at long last something innocent and laughable tha k you clean minded writer
At long last ? This started over 30 years ago.
Did anyone notice that all the windows in this town are the same size?
Terrance housing. Normally built by the same builder back then. Cheaper and quicker to build. Same as the bricks etc. All the best 😉👍
page 247 was *more* incriminating .... but they thought bringing up page 247 was going too far...😄
"if Norman wrote this and it would be turned into a novel
it would be like Peyton Place but it would entitled..........
Holmfirth Place it would become a best selling novel but
seriously would anybody believe this is based on a
True Story it we a laugh riot and maybe be turned into a
movie produced by BBC and not a Hollywood film because
they would just mess it up."
I remember smiler was a train conductor
The wonderful world of naivety?
Weres the episodes with compo?
It's weird that none of the couples ever reproduced. How different this series would have been had there been children.
Well glenda had her mom and dad but I think that's it.
Also no children on Are You Being Served except for old and young mr grace
Mr. Singletary,
I used to watch your videos because they were centered in the frame better than many others. Now the left hand side of yours are cut off as well.
At lease there's no stupid sparkles in the back ground lol .He definately has the best videos out on TH-cam most all of them are centered as well 👍
The show was never the same after the loss of Bill Owen, Brian Murphy was good but not quite the same 😕
I loved Truly and Alvin, but those last characters thinking Nellie was the mom were annoying and not funny.
I thought all the episodes without Bill Owen were far better! The practical jokes on each other reminds me of the jokes me and my friends played on each other.in our misspent youth.
Jes Allen well the slapstick jokes were not so good after Bill Owen but the other jokes were better
sorry don't agree the series is really enjoyable because they're all so good. Alvin particularily
Fucking HATRED
The fun is not to be seen in such a small screen
I love Josephine Tewson, but not in this role.
same here-she is great in Keeping Up-but just plain silly in this role
she told me shes not fond of the role you play either...
these programs would be a lot more enjoyable if half the people were not cut out so that they are only half visible. thank you.
A great pity the camera work is so poor.
If it was posted on full screen BBC will have taken down.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
