[ INTRODUCTION ] [ Tribute to Last of the Last of the Summer Wine - The Early Years ] [ email snakewine72@yahoo.com – any comments/suggestions or discussions ] [ Hints at the bottom of the code ] [Last of the Summer Wine was a British sitcom that was shown on the BBC from 1973 until 2010. It was set and filmed in and around Holmfirth, West Yorkshire and centered on a trio of old men and their youthful misadventures. The trio changed several times over the years, and during its run more characters were introduced with their own storylines until in the end it became more of an assemble of many characters. This game will keep the focus on the trio, starting with Compo, Clegg and Blamire, before replacing Blamire with Foggy. Seymour will make an appearance, but keeping to the program he will not meet Foggy in game. Over the years locations changed, and I have tried to place most locations as they were later in the show, exceptions being the pigeon loft which only features in the Christmas special ‘getting Sam home’, and the bus station which changed to several locations, but I have used the first location near to the café as used in the first series. Arguably, Compo was the main character and after the actor who played him Bill Owen died in 2010, other characters came in including the actors real son, playing a long lost son who never met his Dad Compo. Clegg played by the actor Peter Sallis was the only original member of the trio to remain until the end of the show.] [ GENERAL ALL GAME CODE SETUP ] Use brief room descriptions.
