Summary:

"In the world's longest-running sitcom, Britain's oldest (if not wisest) adolescents uncork a barrelful of laughs and make a toast ... to life! It's Christmas Day, and the usual festivities are underway. For Foggy, Compo and Clegg, the holiday is no exception for wild adventures, gross misunderstandings, and as always, good old-fashioned fun. Whether Compo decides it's time to buy a skateboard, or Foggy deciding to start Christmas shopping early in the heat of summer, these four special adventures capture some of the best of what makes Last of the Summer Wine the longest-running sitcom on Earth!"--Container.
