Last of the Summer Wine (TV Series) The Most Powerful Eyeballs in West Yorkshire (1995) User Reviews

One of the more raw episodes yet still a classic.

Whilst this episode is built on a simple premise and does not offer much in the way of in-depth plot it certainly keeps you entertained.

From the early appearance of Eli to Brian Wilde's delectable grin towards the end this episode is choc full of in-your-face humour. It's not quite as dry as some of the other episodes and relies more on standard, raw, undiluted hilarity.

There's less focus on irony, but forgoing the tongue-in-cheek approach is not without its appeal, the jokes are blatant, but do not feel tacky or cheap. Ultimately, at its heart, this episode is one thing if nothing else - just plain funny. - And as such, it is highly recommended to both Last Wine fanatics and casual viewers.

Here's looking at you

Howard seems to be having a pensive look about him. He is just practicing hypnotism hoping he could mesmerise Pearl into overlooking his indiscretions.

Foggy makes out he is an old hand with hypnotic powers even though Clegg easily puts him in a trance and gets him to order three teas. Foggy goes up to various people and stares at them either getting into trouble or finding himself hypnotised.

It is kind of creepy to watch Foggy with the simple grin in his face as he is hypnotised but it is a fun episode. I do wonder just how many pubs the trio have been thrown out of by now.
