Summer Wine On-line

Welcome to the official web site of the Summer Wine Appreciation Society, in partnership with Holmfirth Web. This is our tribute to the world's longest-running TV comedy series which is filmed in the Holme Valley, and surrounding villages.

SUMMER WINE DVD
Message from the BBC to our USA Fans 

The BBC receives a lot of correspondence from viewers in America about Last of the Summer Wine, and I thought that you might like to pass the following details on to them via your website.

A DVD box set of LOSW was due to be released in the American DVD Region 1 format (NTSC) in December; this has now been postponed until 2nd April 2003 (release date is still subject to change).

It will contain the following selected episodes from series 1 and 2, plus 2 films:

Spring Fever The New Mobile Trio Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts Forked Lightening Who's That Dancing With Nora Batty Then? The Changing Face of Rural Blamire Last of the Summer Wine (feature length film) Getting Sam Home (feature length film - I know that everyone over here wants this film, but it's not available to purchase in the U.K.!)

Starring Michael Bates, Bill Owen and Peter Sallis, the running time is 6 hours, it will be released in a 4 disc box set, full-screen, and will retail at $59.98 (all details are still to be confirmed).
