Last of the Summer Wine — Season 21

10 episodes · Apr 2, 2000

## Season Overview This season marks a bittersweet chapter for our beloved trio, as it sees the departure of one familiar face and a shift in another’s role. Longtime viewers will remember Compo Simmonite, whose presence sadly dwindles throughout the year, appearing only in a special episode and the first three before his character's passing. The season acknowledges this loss with warmth and respect, honoring his legacy within the community. Meanwhile, Tom Potter continues to weave himself into the fabric of the village, though his appearances are more fleeting this time around – just four episodes – as he transitions into a supporting role that will carry him through the remaining seasons. Despite these changes, the core spirit of the series endures: laughter, friendship, and the enduring charm of everyday life in the countryside. Expect familiar faces, heartwarming moments, and all the gentle humor you’ve come to expect from this cherished show.
