The Last The Last of the Summer Wine

After getting on for forty years, all good things (and Last of the Summer Wine) have to come to an end. I've just read the script of the final episode.

( SPOILER! )

I await with interest how Private Eye satirises the ConDemmed years - it feels somewhere between The Odd Couple (Clegg as Jack Lemmon) and Ant and Dec (Cameron is the one who stands on the right, I think). I guess there was a fear that satire would have nothing to do in 1997 - we were sadly wrong - and we'll need it even more. Even if it achieves nothing.

I was talking about the 1997 Armando Ianucci 1997 election special the other night with someone who hadn't seen it (nor did I, I suspect, not just because I was in deepest darkest Northamptonshire) and realised the reason he didn't see it was that he was about 12. Ook. Then I had a panicked and checked - yes, I may have been older than the last two Doctors, but I am still younger than My Two PMs. (A sitcom?)

Meanwhile the one to look out for is Sayeeda Warsi, the Chairman of the Tories, who has expressed some er, views over the years.
