Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1992

Finally, a realistic release schedule!
Hot on the heels of Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1991 comes Vintage 1992!

From the press release:

"Clegg, Compo and Foggy are back for another season of hilarious jokes, tricks, and mix ups!
Compo outfits himself in biker's leathers after he overhears that Nora likes a man in riding gear. Unfortunately, she meant horse riding... Wesley has plans to convert a lawnmower into a window cleaning machine, but, as always for this trio, the invention doesn't work as smoothly as expected. Clegg attempts to prove Foggy a liar with what he calls the classic "Ordeal By Trousers," which entails dropping a beetle down the front of his pants to see if Foggy flinches. If he does, he's lying. Hoping to get rich quick, Compo becomes a one-man band. Later, when Foggy buys a camcorder and practices filming in the hills, he catches more than just nature on his film...Foggy also invents a new form of...

LOTSW 1992 - Not quite the rip-off it looked like at first.
The 1992 season on DVD is now available from Amazon, but the price is $27.83 instead of the original pre-release listed price of $19 and change. However, if you compare the original description of the product to what is now available, the $19 product was said to have only one DVD while the new page says the package has two DVDs with 330 minutes of entertainment.

Foggy gets a beetle down his pants and then gets conscripted with Compo and Clegg to perform at a church social function. In the original version Compo takes the lead in singing "I'm going to sit right down and write myself a letter," with Clegg and Foggy chiming in on the end of each line.

Great Clean Humorr
There is nothing I dislike about Last of the Summer Wine...all DVD's
I have them all except the last two and they are so entertaining and good natured.
They make you love to live the simple life, living each day to the fullest.
The music is so relaxing and the location is just breathtaking.
You feel as thought you are there with them.
The playful antics and so natural and funny.
I try not to watch them all at once because they are for relaxing on the weekend or
when you have a bad day and want to have something peaceful to watch.
Look forward to the last 2 releases!
