Last of the Summer Wine is the world's longest running sitcom and the last episode is tonight after 37 years and 295 episodes...................... who remembers the first episode?

I'm old enough to but we didn't have a TV in my parents house in 1973 and I still don't have one in my house, and cannot get a signal on the FFRR's in dash set with the car sat on my drive So I won't be watching the last episode by conventional means - I'll watch it on BBC iPlayer instead if the neighbours kids aren't hogging all the bandwidth downloading tunes. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

You dont have a TV in your house?  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

Nope, I haven't had one since 1982, I only ever missed one programme (Top Gear ) but now I can watch whatever takes my fancy on the BBC iPlayer. Got rid of it as it was proving too much of a distractions when I was doing my professional exams, then I moved house and decided to see how long I could go without one. I have become a raving radio 4 fan and it is amazing how of the BBC comedy shows on TV were first aired as Radio 4 comedy on the radio. Must admit most of them were much better on the radio too................. you had to use your imagination much more! When the BBC made them televisual they had to introduce new characters to most and that has spoiled them. Little Britain was truly great on radio but it was spoiled when made televisual. I cannot get a decent signal on the FFRR Hybrid system on my drive so it's not that useful a system for me. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Im gobsmacked  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

We have a TV but rarely watch "live" TV. Mostly old series, old films...

Granted it's a 50" HD .... great for gaming tho! Land Rover Addict

It could be worse DC, you could have been Armish and still in denial of all things using machines to operate them, how could you live without a power adjusted steering column or remote central locking.................. or having to feed a horse to pull your FFRR along the road.................... 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

True Tim, its a getting a heated saddle on a horse, or even better...heated reins!

Our TV only gets used for Top Gear, BTCC and F1.

Most of what is on otherwise is pretty basic or full of adverts every 30 seconds. And my wife hates soaps.

Mine is just used for porn these days...

Am I the only one who loves his TVs FFS???

We have FOUR TVs and FOUR SKY HD+ boxes.Not bragging but I cannot believe people dont have a TV in this day and age.....its like not having a phone,washing machine or a fridge??  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

What's the point when I most of want I might want to watch is available online. I still have to have a TV licence to watch iPlayer too. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

No Im not judging you at all mate Im just stating my opinion thats all.

In fact your making me think how much cash I would save if I followed your lead.....only trouble is the missus & kids would not be best pleased  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

I didn't save much, if anything by having no TV. For a while I must have been Amazon's best customer in the days when they only sold books! These days I have graduated to Audible books from audible.co.uk and download them into my iphone/ipad and laptop to listen too when The Archers has started it's 3rd repeat of the week and there's nothing worth listening to on Classic FM! I have a 7mx 2.5m wall in my lounge just covered in books and there was just space to put my 27" iMac in the corner of one shelf. Still buy loads of books but generally if I don't get the audible version then I go to Waterstones and can spend several hours browsing there a week. Oh and did I mention that I now have a computer of one sort or another (Mac, PC, windows Laptop, Iphone,Ipad................... and they are all wireless networked) in each room of the house (except the bathroom)  2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
