In this video we will look at some of things you probably didn’t know or hadn’t noticed before – from continuity errors to behind-the-scenes secrets in series 21 to 25.

Sadly, Bill Owen died during filming for series 21. It was already known he was unwell, so some scenes were re-written to reduce his time on screen. Roy Clarke then had the unenviable task of dealing with the Bill Owen's passing. Rather than just write him out of the show, he chose to create a trilogy of episodes where Compo dies, is mourned and has a funeral. It is some of the best comedy television writing in history. It also gave the actors and characters closure.

The year 2023 marks 50 years since the pilot and first series of “Last of the Summer Wine” were broadcast. This series of videos is filmed in many of the well-known, and some less well-known, locations seen in the programme.
