Last of the Summer Wine: Series 14

Season overview

The fourteenth series of Last of the Summer Wine aired on BBC1 and was written by Roy Clarke, with production and direction by Alan J. W. Bell. This installment marked a notable technical milestone for the British sitcom, being the first series in the show's history to be shot entirely on film, although the complete episodes were still assembled on videotape. Additionally, this fourteenth series and the following series were broadcast in a 16:10 aspect ratio, which was a change from the standard 4:3 aspect ratio used for the previous thirteen series. Set in Yorkshire, the series continues the affectionate comedy surrounding people in the autumn of their years, focusing on characters who spend their days speculating about fellow townsfolk and thinking up adventures not usually favored by the elderly. The overarching series is a creation of Roy Clarke and forms part of the longest-running comedy production in Britain and the world's longest-running sitcom.
