Last of the Summer Wine season 6 episode 3, titled "Car And Garter", follows the usual antics of the aging trio of friends, Compo, Clegg, and Foggy, as they attempt to bring some excitement to their mundane lives in the small town of Holmfirth.
The episode opens with the three friends sitting in a pub, discussing their boredom and lack of excitement. As they leave, they come across a fancy red convertible parked outside, and Compo becomes enamored with the car, deciding that it's time for him to have some fun and live a little. He convinces Clegg and Foggy to join him on a wild joyride in the car, despite none of them having a driver's license.
Their adventure starts out well enough, with Clegg and Foggy taking turns driving as Compo lounges in the backseat and enjoys the speed and freedom of the vehicle. They drive through the countryside and take in the scenery, stopping to admire a beautiful woman who catches their eye.
As the day progresses, their joyride takes a turn for the worse as they accidentally damage the car, causing a flat tire and a few other mishaps along the way. The trio attempts to fix the car themselves but only end up making things worse, deciding to abandon the vehicle and take the train back to Holmfirth.
The rest of the episode follows their attempts to return the car to its rightful owner, facing various obstacles and hilarious misunderstandings along the way. The trio engages in a number of schemes to return the car, including disguising themselves as car mechanics and attempting to fix the vehicle before it's returned. However, their efforts are thwarted by the arrival of the car's impatient owner, who demands his vehicle back immediately.
Ultimately, the episode ends with the three friends back in the pub, devising a new plan for adventure and excitement. As always, Last of the Summer Wine delivers a mix of humor, heart, and unexpected twists that keep audiences engaged and entertained.
