a live production of "last of the summer wine", known informally as the "summer season", was produced in bournemouth in 1984. while bill owen and peter sallis reprised their roles as compo and clegg, brian wilde chose not to take part because of personal differences with owen. the show focused on the men's interaction with clegg's new neighbour, howard (kenneth waller), and his wife, pearl, played by a local actress. the first act built up to the appearance of marina (jean fergusson), who was in correspondence with howard. at the end of the first act, marina was revealed to be a blonde sexpot. howard and marina's story line was partly based on an early subplot of the television show. in the first series, the librarian, mr. wainwright, was having a love affair with his married assistant, mrs. partridge. despite their efforts to keep the plot a secret, especially from mrs. partridge's husband, the trio of old men were well aware of the affair. the summer season reversed the roles: howard became the married partner, and the challenge was to keep the affair secret from his wife.
