A tribute to the long-running sit-com Last of the Summer Wine. The book contains interviews with the show's major stars: The Winos - Compo, Cleggy and Foggy; The Stronger Sex - the battleaxe women, including Kathy Staff who turned the character of Nora Batty into a national icon; and The Henpecked - the husbands finally get a chance to have their say. The Irregular Tipplers recalls the numerous guest stars that have featured over the years, from John Cleese and Mathew Kelly, to Norman Wisdom and Kate Robbins. There is a guide to every single show since 1973 and archive photographs provides a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
