Last of the Summer Wine

It's Christmas Day and the usual festivities are underway. Compo becomes interested in a skateboard.

Foggy decides to beat the Christmas rush - in the middle of summer. He ends up being conned by Big Eric who sells him 100 Christmas trees for 10. A bargain? Not when they are crawling with insects!

Christmas isn't what it used to be, so the trio decide to look for two old school chums to help recapture the spirit of their youth.

Norman Clegg visits his late wife's grave on the anniversary of her death, then he reunites with his friends Compo Simmonite and Cyril Blamire and the trio wonders through town talking about, life, death and fish.

The trio pays a visit to the barbers where they talk about the war, marriage, local women, and the frequent rows that exist between couples. Then they go to the cafe, where the first (of many) arguments between Ivy and Sid takes place. Compo realizes he forgot his house key in the library and the trio wonders through town, in search for the librarian (Mr. Wainwright).

Clegg and Blamire try to convince Compo to step inside a church. Then they talk about the existence of God, miracles and the possibility of an afterlife.

After Clegg suffers a little incident with his bicycle it's up to the trio to find someone to mend it.

Gloria, a friend of Nora Batty is emigrating to Australia. It's up to the trio to find a piano for her surprise farewell party.

Thinking they have too much free time on their hands, the trio decides to find some kind of occupation. They come across a dodgy bankrupt dealer who persuades them to sell his new product, with disastrous results, particularly for Blamire.

Compo is bored. Since Cyril Blamire left for Oswestry, to live with a woman, things have been a bit too calm for him in town. But soon, Clegg brings the solution to all their boredom. A letter from Blamire asking them to welcome home an old fried of his, called Foggy Dewhurst, and help him cope with the sudden changes in his life, after he was more or less forced to retire. Compo and Clegg meet with the new "third man", the war hero Foggy Dewhurst, who because of his peculiar life and his endless wartime stories soon makes his presence noted around town. His military posture, and his "murderous" impulses only get him in a fight with Big Malcolm, and his military precision doesn't seem to be a great help, when the trio tries to carry Foggy's heavy wartime luggage up a hill.

Mr Wainwright is back in town, and quickly throws the trio out of the library. The trio goes back to the cafe, where Ivy is having the usual battle of wits with Sid. There they meet with Stuart, and old man who's having a strange click in his leg. Later the trio helps Sid to mend a whole in the roof of the cafe with the usual disastrous results. Meanwhile Wainwright dates the new female librarian.

The trio takes takes a little holiday in Scarborough, but what's the deal with Compo's cardboard box?

When one of Compo's ferrets escapes and takes residence in Nora's house, it's up to Wally Batty to get it back safely.

Sid's plan to install a new bell for the cafe door is doomed from the moment he asks for the help of the trio.

Keen to celebrate the Silver Jubilee, Foggy decides the trio should have their own float.

Foggy takes Compo and Clegg on a nostalgic trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

Foggy has a vision to put a flag in a prominent place on the great British landscape - but first he needs a flag and a flagpole.

Compo convinces a barmaid that Foggy is an eccentric millionaire.

Wally is fed up with Nora's constant nagging so Compo, Clegg and Foggy devise a plan to get him out of the house for a few hours.

Foggy finds there's money to be made selling food to the desperate inhabitants of a local health farm.

Foggy says Nora has big feet, thus upsetting Compo, so they set out to find out whether it is true or not.

A discarded mattress sets Foggy on a campaign to clean up the countryside.

Foggy has an idea to use portable radios to improve communications.

When Foggy hears about an athletic charity drive, he enters Compo and Clegg despite their wishes. An "injured" Howard drops out of the race and stops to recover in this young lady's refreshment stand. How refreshed can one man get?

Compo is depressed because Nora has a lodger. Foggy has an unusual way of curing his malaise-dancing!

Foggy's idea is the ultimate in chairlifts to get people to the top of the hills without any effort.

Compo can't get over his suspicion of Nora's new lodger, Smiler. When he thinks he hears Nora singing a happy tune, he nearly goes to pieces. The trio tracks them around town, with Compo agonizing all the way. Meanwhile, Edie wants to go shopping at Huddersfield, but Wesley just wants to tinker with engines. Who do you suppose gets to have their way?
