when alan j. w. bell took over as producer, the plots of "last of the summer wine" moved away from the original dialogue-packed scenes in the pub and the library; guest actors were brought in to interact with the trio in new situations. although many of these guest appearances lasted for only one episode, some led to a permanent role on the show, as in the cases of gordon wharmby, thora hird, jean alexander, stephen lewis, dora bryan, keith clifford, brian murphy, josephine tewson, june whitfield, barbara young, and trevor bannister. other noted guests on the programme included john cleese, ron moody, sir norman wisdom, eric sykes, liz fraser, stanley lebor, and philip jackson.
