Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts is the final episode of the first series of Last of the Summer Wine.
The series is yet far from the classic it would become in a few years time. There is some embryonic stuff that writer Roy Clarke would mine for some years to come. The randy librarian who has the hots for his assistant, a married woman and they sneak into some quiet places for so time together would be repeated a dozen or so years later by Howard and Marina.
In this episode our trio go camping and dabble in the art of photography. More accurately Blamire takes some rubbish pictures when he is not bickering or reminiscing with Compo.
I did feel the first series was not as funny but at least it established some of the side characters such as Ivy and Sid.
In real life Bill Owen and Michael Bates had a fractious relationship during filming which probably did not help matters. Owen was left wing and Bates was right wing. They stayed in separate hotels during filming.
