Continuity Of The Summer Wine

One of the things I love most about the long run of Last Of The Summer Wine, is just how many shows it shared the screen with over the years. A quick look at some snippets of continuity highlights that fact nicely.

The feature length special is followed by Rocky II. Excellent.

And here, just before an episode from 1992, we get a glimpse of something upcoming.
