About this deal

He had previously played a tailor in the 1992 episode "Who's Got Rhythm?" which could be the same character but is unconfirmed. The Captain returned for the 2008 New Years Special "I Was A Hitman For Primrose Dairies", where he received a name, Toby, for the first time. In series 30 he moves in next door to Barry and Glenda and shortly after gains Morton Beemish (aka Herman Teesdale), the former repo man, as a near-lodger, since he's always there doing tasks around the house. During this time his relationship with Barry appeared to improve and the two (along with Glenda) would often bond over their annoyance of Morton. John Comer; 1973–1983, Tony Melody; 1983) Bluff café owner, who featured prominently for the first ten years, before Comer's death in 1984. Ivy remembers him fondly, and often mentions him in conversation. Sid was one of the few characters who actually seemed to enjoy getting involved in the misadventures of the three central characters, and often saw them as an excuse to get out of the café for a few hours. However, occasionally he was shown to be extremely irritated by some of their schemes and antics (most notably in the episode "Getting on Sidney's wire" where he gets angry with Foggy for ruining his attempts to fit a new doorbell to the cafe and subsequently throws him out). Like Wally Batty he often welcomed Compo's affection for his wife. In one episode, he remarks that he "can't help admiring Compo's nerve".

Every episode of Last of the Summer Wine was written by Roy Clarke. The Comedy Playhouse pilot and all episodes of the first series were produced and directed by James Gilbert. Bernard Thompson produced and directed the second series of episodes in 1975. [16] In 1976, Sydney Lotterby took over as producer and director. He directed all but two episodes of the third series [6] [23] – Ray Butt directed "The Great Boarding House Bathroom Caper" and "Cheering up Gordon". [24] [25] Lotterby directed two further series before departing the show in 1979. [6] [23] In 1981, Alan J. W. Bell took over as producer and director. Bell, in an effort to get each scene exactly right, was known for his use of more film and more takes than his predecessors [6] and for using wider angles that feature more of the local Holmfirth landscape.

When the local ladies start to gain some interest for a man named Walter Ridley, it's up for the trio to try to find out why.

Ollerenshaw played an unnamed woman in the 1979 episode "The Flag and Further Snags" and it's unknown if they are the same character. Maggie played Norman Clegg's mother Violet in First of the Summer Wine. Maggie played a recurring character in another sitcom written by Roy Clarke, Open All Hours, where she played Mavis. She reprised the role in the sequel Still Open All Hours.

Series 17

Ivy and Sid often shouted and argued with each other, and Ivy was never shy about bringing up Sid's infidelity; but as with many of the show's couples, there was little doubt that they loved each other. Throughout his time in the series Sid and Wally were shown to be best friends and the two of them often joined each other in trying to sneak away from their wives to the pub or any other activity, often involving the main trio. Another long running gag during his time on the show were ongoing rumours of his supposed affair with a local unseen bus conductress. Ivy was aware of this and often accused him of being unfaithful. Although Sid once admitted to the trio he was friends with the conductress, he always flatly denied the rumours and despite the odd verbal hint very little evidence of this was ever seen onscreen. In Roy Clarke’s other sitcom Still Open All Hours two references are made to an off-screen "Mrs. Avery". In the final two seasons 30–31 the character practically lives next door to Barry and Glenda as a near-lodger with Toby Mulberry Smith, (aka The Captain).

Foggy volunteers the trio to help out at a church concert party, but Compo can't resist trying on a suit of armour. However Crusher did not return in the tenth series, as Jonathan Linsley left the show to work on other TV projects. Most of the character's humour came from the contrast between his menacing size and his total harmlessness. Following his departure in early 1988 (after the 1987 Christmas special), Ivy ran the cafe alone (with occasional help from Nora Batty). Danny O'Dea; 1987–2002) An extremely long-sighted bumbler, Eli maintained a highly cheerful, friendly attitude despite not having a clue what was going on around him. He generally made only brief cameo appearances, walking into a scene and commenting on his long-sighted misinterpretation of the action, and then walking off again. He was occasionally seen on a bicycle. A retired jewel thief regales Marina and Miss Davenport with fanciful stories of his past exploits in the South of France.Howard and Wally have both been confined to quarters, and it's up to the trio to try to break them free. The trio meet a man who wants to show the world that he likes fat people & obesity and that he is dead against slimming and weight loss. Wesley has plans for a ride-on lawnmower. He's going to adapt it for the purpose of cleaning windows. Kitson returned to the role of PC Cooper in a set of shorts, written by Roy Clarke, two of which were released exclusively online. These shorts served as pilots to a potential spin-off that never came to be. The two released shorts are titled "Under Fire" and "Guardians of the Law".
