Last of the Summer Wine: The Heavily Reinforced Bottom

The Heavily Reinforced Bottom with Who's Feeling Ejected Then? and Jaws The mayhem caused by three elderly idlers in the Yorkshire countryside has entertained the nation for over 20yrs.

THE HEAVILY REINFORCED BOTTOM (Originally transmitted 11/1/87) Despite Compo's years spent bringing his body to a state of physical imperfection, Seymour puts him on a fitness regime.
