Last of the Summer Wine (TV Series) Earnshaw Strikes Again (1979) User Reviews

Foggy goes too far!

[keysam-02610 · 9/10 · 30 August 2022]

The trio are bored and eventually end up in the pub, as you do.

Clegg, somewhat surprisingly, says "they make better beer down south" - a vile calumny both Foggy & Compo seem happy to entertain, though it clears the pub of other customers in quick time.

But suggesting that Yorkshire might NOT be the centre of the Universe is a step too far and Foggy finds himself in trouble with the other two as they fear the wrath of the Great Yorkshire God Earnshaw...

Entertaining episode, with what actually begins as one of Clegg's flights of fancy taking on real depth as a series of unfortunate events seems to back up the idea that *someone* has taken offence at Foggy's words!

The smug Yorkshireman

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 24 August 2016]

Our trio are bored. These are three old men trying to fill the days. A trip to the baths was unsuccessful. It was pulled down some years ago. The tea is horrible, the food in Sid's cafe is horrible and even the beer down the pub is horrible. Clegg exclaims the beer down south is better leading to strange looks from the locals.

Foggy exclaims that the Yorkshireman can be smug at times and the other two fear that he has upset the Yorkshire deity Earnshaw and unless he repents there will be catastrophe.

Certainly calamity for David Ryall, who makes a cameo as the man getting involved in slapstick with his car and his various injuries he has already got as he is already well plastered up by the local hospital.

Overall this is rather an aimless episode, it is just three men a little bored and feels more like a filler.
