Summer Threads

I’d like to draw your attention to two ongoing threads on my Twitter feed. The first one is charting the evolution of the Cafe set on Last Of The Summer Wine. Since this set is used for the entire run of the show, it struck me as an interesting thing to watch develop, especially as the configuration I was most familiar with was the late 1980s one, which is markedly different from the way it first started.

And this one, a look at all the pubs they visit throughout the run of the show. We’re up to series 11, circa 1988 at the moment.

Thanks.
