    Lately, our PBS station has been stuck in the c1994 seasons. Thanks for the tip, I will have to check that link out.

    The Red Green shows are also available on Yoo Toob. Also on Amazon's
    Free Vee streaming service. I'm currently watching the longest running BritCom (and possibly longest running on all TV) Last of The Summer Wine.

    I found out about YT yesterday!

    Last of the Summer Wine is one of my all time favorite shows. PBS
    locally is stuck in the early 1980s on that one, but that is during the period when Bill Owen was still alive, Foggy Dewhurst was one of the
    trio, and Wally and Syd are still alive so I am ok with that.

    I have several of the early seasons on DVD. I bought them back when
    PBS was only showing the 1980s+ seasons. About a year after I got the DVDs, they started showing the early seasons. ;)

    I liked the early episodes with Seymour instead of Foggy. The episode
    after Bill Owen died was especially touching.

    I also liked "Are You Being Served" Especially Mrs. Slocombe and her
    pussy. And Captain Peacock (Frank Thornton) He also rook the place of
    Brian Wilde when the Foggy Dewhurst character left for parts unknown.

    Title: Summer Wine Cup
    Categories: Beverages, Wine, Booze, Citrus, Fruits
    Yield: 5 Servings

    6 Fresh woodruff sprigs
    750 ml Dry white wine
    1/2 pt Orange juice
    4 oz Strawberries or raspberries
    7 oz Ginger ale
    3 oz Brandy
    20 Borage flowers

    Leave the woodruff sprigs for 1 hour to wilt slightly.

    This will bring out their vanilla-like flavor.

    Put them into a bowl and pour on the wine and orange
    juice.

    Leave for 1 hour and strain.

    Quarter the strawberries if they are large.

    Leave the raspberries whole, if using.

    Put the fruit into a punch bowl.

    Pour on the strained liquid.

    Cover with plastic wrap and chill 30 mins.

    Pour the brandy and the ginger ale into the bowl.

    Float the borage flowers on top.

    Serve as soon as possible in tall glasses so as not
    to lose the slightly sparkling effect of the ginger
    ale.

    Foggy came before, and after, Seymour. The progression of that "position" went:

    Blaimaire (sp?)
    Foggy
    Seymour
    Foggy
    Frank Thornton

    I also liked "Are You Being Served" Especially Mrs. Slocombe and her
    pussy. And Captain Peacock (Frank Thornton) He also rook the place of
    Brian Wilde when the Foggy Dewhurst character left for parts unknown.

    I liked that one, too. I was partial to Wendy Richard's character.

    Also like "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Doc Martin."

    Michael Bates (Blamire) was only in the first 7 episodes. Pilot and 1st
    series. I don't recall Foggy's first turn in LOTSW. Just after he came
    riding into town on the Brit version of a Greyhound bus. I liked his
    character much better than the popmous twit, Seymour.

    I also liked "Are You Being Served" Especially Mrs. Slocombe and her

    Ms Brahms was easy on the eyes.

    Also like "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Doc Martin."

    How about Good Neighbours? That was more hilarity. Or Vicar of Dibley?

    Michael Bates (Blamire) was only in the first 7 episodes. Pilot and 1st series.

    First 14 episodes. He was there for the first two series. He left due to illness. The Seymour actor left due to the illness of his wife, IIRC. I
    think that Brian Wilde (Foggy) departed the first time because he got tired
    of being the butt of many of the jokes, and maybe the second time due to retirement but I don't remember for sure.

    I don't recall Foggy's first turn in LOTSW. Just after he came
    riding into town on the Brit version of a Greyhound bus. I liked his character much better than the popmous twit, Seymour.

    Me also. The Clegg-Compo-Foggy trio is my favorite. The one thing I liked about the Seymour era was that it brought us the Pegden family,
    although Wesley had appeared a time or two before then.

    I liked that one, too. I was partial to Wendy Richard's character.

    Ms Brahms was easy on the eyes.

    Indeed. I also liked her accent.

    Also like "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Doc Martin."

    How about Good Neighbours? That was more hilarity. Or Vicar of Dibley?

    I've never seen the former, but the latter has aired here at least once and
    I did enjoy it.

    I am going to have to share this link with my mother. She is a huge fan of
    the show.
