Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1993



The Vitals
Here's some more of what you want to know, at least this is what I always look for, the EPISODES contained. Don't know why Amazon consistently either does not list them or if they do they get it wrong. The good news here is that in addition to the regular '93 season episodes they do include the Dec. '93 Special, "Welcome To Earth". This one, like all other LOSW specials are never played on PBS, so being able to see the specials on these U.S. LOSW releases is a major plus! I have to tell you, that this episode is extremely funny, an excellent example to show anyone who is not familiar with the series what it's all about. All the best characters are here all doing what you hope and expect they will do. This episode does not disappoint. So, with that tidbit out of the way, here are the episodes in this release, enjoy Summer Winers:

The music, the scenery, the characters are awesome. Never get tired of watching over and over! These DVDs have brought many hours of pleasure to me and my husband.

Inconsistent sound track.
The character and story line are great. Fans of "Last of the Summer Wine" won't be disappointed. In my opinion, the only negative thing is the sound track. The sound varies- up and down, sometimes hollow sounding, reverberatres/echoes- and the laugh track is very loud to the point of sometimes drowning out the narrative and being annoying in it loudness. Maybe I received a faulty recording. I suppose the only way to find out is to buy another copy, or if someone has the same experience and notes it with a review.
