Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've written about this series several times and will repeat some of my previous comments on the show in general.
Don't be surprised if you are lukewarm to LOTSW on first viewing. This show grows on you over time. The first time I saw LOTSW I was underwhelmed... it was slow and seemed almost without a plot. But after watching a few more episodes I was hooked!
This is a better value than the previous sets as we get 2(!) series (6th and 7th) this time out for a total of 13 episodes!
From the press release:
"Britain's oldest-if not wisest-adolescents and incorrigible senior citizens uncork another barrel full of laughs as their ongoing antics continue to corrupt the picturesque town of Holmfirth. Compo (Bill Owen), Clegg (Peter Sallis, Wallace & Gromit) and Foggy (Brian Wilde) enjoy more merry, misguided adventures in the longest-running series on Earth! From the creator of Keeping Up Appearances."

Once again the "Christmas Special" episodes are *not* include. I don't understand this mentality. Even if they are *not* in continuity release them in airing order! Oh, well... At least the ones from the early series are currently available on Last of the Summer Wine: Christmas Specials 1978-1982. This prior release appears to have 1 of the 2 which *should* have appeared on this set.
I maintain my plea to Warner/BBC:
Get on with it! At the current release rate of 2 series per year we'll see the successor to Blu-ray come to market before all series are out on standard DVD! For a program with a over 30 year run, 2 per year is entirely too slow a release rate!
