Season
two has the classic line of
Compo (Owen), Clegg(Sallis) and
Blamire (Bates) and the
situation is basically the
shenanigans of three elderly men
looking to spice up their
retirement in an idyllic
Yorkshire village (Holmfirth in
real life); Blamire tends to get
the ideas, Clegg is generally
unwilling to get too involved
whilst the slovenly Compo is
usually the one who sends the
plan awry. One
of the joys of Last of the
Summer Wine has always been in
its large ensemble cast of
characters, this second season
marks the debut of one of the
legendary Wally Batty, the small
and put upon husband of
archetypal Northern dragon Norah
(for some reason Compo has
harboured a life long love for
Norah and would do anything to
be able to straighten her
wrinkly
stockings).
