| BSG Review: |
It would be hard to argue that Last of the Summer Wine
is anything but a British classic as it is easily the longest
running sitcom of all time; well over 200 episodes of this sitcom
have been filmed since its pilot in 1973
. Last of the
Summer Wine is an inoffensive sitcom which slowly
gets viewers hooked watching the three central characters and
their latest crazy stunt. Not everyone likes it though - quite
a few of the TV critics and viewers have called it "boring, outdated, slow and un-funny". |
