following the departure of billy hardcastle in series 28, entwistle was often paired with alvin, with many stories revolving around their dealings with howard or barry. during this period his role increased and he often hung around with the main trio (sometimes to compensate for clegg's decreasing role.) in series 30 and 31, entwistle became the second man (officially taking over from clegg) in a new trio when hobbo arrived and recruited alvin and entwistle to form a band of volunteers to respond to emergencies in the village.

list of last of the summer wine characters
"last of the summer wine" focused on a trio of older men and their youthful antics. the original trio consisted of compo simmonite, norman clegg, and cyril blamire. blamire left in 1976, when michael bates fell ill shortly before filming of the third series, requiring clarke to hastily rewrite the series with a new third man. the third member of the trio would be recast four times over the next three decades: foggy dewhurst in 1976, seymour utterthwaite in 1986, foggy again in 1990, and truly truelove in 1997. after compo died in 1999, his son, tom simmonite, filled the gap for the rest of that series, and billy hardcastle joined the cast as the third lead character in 2001. the trio became a quartet between 2003 and 2006 when alvin smedley moved in next door to nora batty, but returned to the usual threesome in 2006 when billy hardcastle left the show. the role of supporting character entwistle steadily grew until the beginning of the 30th series, when he and alvin were recruited by hobbo hobdyke, a former milkman with ties to mi5, to form a new trio of volunteers who respond to any emergency.
