Last of the Summer Wine (TV Series) Behind Every Bush There Is Not Necessarily a Howard (2010) User Reviews

The final series begins with a funny episode.

Toby has foolishly asked for Morton's help, in his mission to win back his wife's affections. Hobbo offers help to all that need it.

The first half of the episode is a bit of a chore, they're going over a lot of old ground, Russ Abbott once again central to the action, and adding some humour to a fairly pedestrian plot. We also have a run of the mill scene between Clegg and Truly, you had to hand it to the pair, they just kept going.

However the second half of the episode is really funny, Clarke put some real thought into this one, and for a change Pearl is put in a more central role, she's the one crashing in, I don't think she had ever been made to be the fool before.

The closing scenes at very funny, overall it's a grand start to the final series, 7/10.

More to Morton than meets the eye

Words I thought I would never ever say. It is the start of the final series of Last of the Summer Wine.

I always thought the BBC would stretch to its 40th anniversary but it was maybe a question of how much of the core cast could still be alive by 2013.

Morton who has been a skivvy for Toby is sent on a mission by Hobbo. Persuade Toby's's wife to have her husband back. He misses the Jaguar.

Morton manages to charm her alright, she falls for Morton instead.

Morton is embarrassed and confides to Barry and Glenda. Toby thinks he might be reuniting with his beloved Jag when Morton tells him that he will be seeing his wife again.

At least Roy Clarke seems to put a bit of an original spin in the story even though the title implies it might be all about Howard.
