Last of the Summer Wine (TV Series) The Crowcroft Challenge (2007) User Reviews

The Philosophy of a lino salesman.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 6/10 · 3 October 2021]

Alvin and Howard take part in The Crowcroft challenge, a very bizarre trial, only Howard's motives for doing it, are a little questionable.

It isn't a bad episode, far from a classic, but it does have a few amusing scenes. Brian Murphy definitely added something when he joined as Alvin, he did look amusing dressed up as a crow, and I find him physically funny.

I did chuckle at The two Policemen dealing with the drunken cyclist, that scene was quite funny. They don't always and the best use of the two, and they are a funny duo.

Doesn't Ivy ever have a customer? How can that cafe survive?

Gentle fun, 6/10.

The Crowcroft Challenge

Alvin and Howard end up doing the Crowcroft Challenge.

Going between two towns in a straight line, dressed as crows.

Alvin is in it for the challenge. For Howard it would be to spend time with Marina, incognito.

It is not an easy challenge. Coming across a big hedge proves to be problematic as these crows cannot fly over it.

More amusing was the two dozy policemen coming across a drunken cyclist. He even steals their panda car.
