Last of the Summer Wine was absolutely dreadful. It has always been dreadful. As so many of the 'stars' have now died perhaps someone will finally decide to stop making this unfunniest of series.
Oliver Postgate dying was far more sad.

Canned laughter as well, even as a lad after a bath on a sunday could I not find it funny.

Ah yes.............. 'allo, 'allo.............
Gorden Kaye (Rene) was injured in a car crash in about 1991 and was off work for several months. I went to the live stage show on his first appearance after he recovered - the opening scene featured him simply walking on to the stage.............
The place erupted, and he was given a standing ovation that must have lasted TEN minutes.
Remember - this was at the start of the show............
Tremendously popular guy.
