Always on a bike trying to get his leg over.

There can’t be many of the cast left now.

My mum used to watch it because it reminded her of home as she grew up in the Pennines but move down south to get married. So it was family viewing on a Sunday.

Cycling and chasing girls. There are worse ways to spend your free time!

A well-written character very well acted.

There was always something so idyllic about Last of the Summer Wine.

There was always something so idyllic about Last of the Summer Wine.

It was also the inspiration for Clarkson, May and Hammond's 'Top Gear'.

Howard's Summer Wine lady friend Marina also died recently.
I really enjoyed the early series, not so much with the newer actors.

A few ancients here used to gather on good days at the garage/car park area for no particular reason. We got a bit of ribald commenting about Last of the Summer wine.

Both the actresses who played Pearl and Marina died in 2019 within about a month of each other

Oh Marina!

Howard and Marina were possibly my favourite characters of the show, very closely following behind Wesley.....

End of an era, sadly
