Unencumbered by wives, jobs or any other responsibilities, three senior citizens who've never really grown up explore their world in the Yorkshire Dales. They spend their days speculating about their fellow townsfolk and thinking up adventures not usually favoured by the elderly.
The heartwarming sitcom that is fully entitled to the tag British institution. This episode sees the return of Foggy, played as ever by the great Brian Wilde.
Foggy becomes acquainted with new technology in order to further communications with Compo and Clegg. No, not mobile phones, we're talking... walkie-talkies.
Hilarity with the elderly chaps. Compo, Clegg and Foggy are intrigued by some perfectly respectable men who turn up wearing no trousers. Well, who wouldn't be?
Madcap antics from the veteran troupe in the long-running sitcom. Foggy reckons he is on to a real money-spinner when he invents bicycle polo.
Old boys behaving badly. The much-missed Bill Owen is Compo, who gets the showbusiness break he's been waiting for: as Captain Zero, The Human Cannonball.
Laughs with the cheeky Yorkshire folk. Foggy plans to restore an old boat and use it as a water taxi, but all Compo wants to do is get Nora Batty on board.
Another harebrained scheme from the old devils as Foggy hits on an idea for a car-parking service and dreams of the riches it will bring.
Will the wellied one ever give up? Compo realises that he must become a celebrity to have any chance of impressing Nora Batty.
Will the summer wine last forever? Certainly if these gents are anything to go by. Foggy refuses to accept that he is too old to compete in a barrel-rolling competition.
More laughs in the classic comedy series. No task is too much trouble for the trio as they try to find Smiler some decent digs after his wife leaves him.
The Christmas 1990 edition of Roy Clarke's epic sitcom. Barry gets locked in the pub on Christmas night and makes the most of the experience. But then he's too scared to go home!
