Clegg, Compo and Foggy are back for another season of hilarious jokes, tricks, and mix ups! Compo outfits himself in biker's leathers after he overhears that Nora likes a man in riding gear. Unfortunately, she meant horse riding... Wesley has plans to convert a lawnmower into a window cleaning machine, but, as always for this trio, the invention doesn't work as smoothly as expected. Clegg attempts to prove Foggy a liar with what he calls the classic "Ordeal By Trousers," which entails dropping a beetle down the front of his pants to see if Foggy flinches. If he does, he's lying.
Hoping to get rich quick, Compo becomes a one-man band. Later, when Foggy buys a camcorder and practices filming in the hills, he catches more than just nature on his film...Foggy also invents a new form of transport with a giant wheel and Compo finds himself volunteered as its first test driver. In the Christmas Special, the trio hires an inflatable castle for the seasonal parade, but not without a few hilarious mishaps along the way.
With
Vintage 1991 coming to DVD in just a few weeks, the BBC has popped the cork on news for
Last of the Summer Wine - Vintage 1992. In fact, they've decided to take this next title exclusive, making it available only
via a listing at the BBC America Online Shop, starting
April 17th. List price is $34.98 SRP, but it's available to pre-order now at a discount. Will it be available at regular stores later on? Right now they haven't said, so we're honestly not sure one way or another. However, we're leaning toward "yes, they will make it available elsewhere at some point," because
their blog post about it refers to this as an "early exclusive"...that makes it sound like you can get it early there, compared to when it will be out everywhere else. The also mention there a "
quarterly release plan" for this show's DVD titles, so it sounds like they'll keep pressing the grapes for this program. Cheers!
