LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE - Treading The Boards is the story of two men who happen to be in the same strange business and also happen to be father and son. Through narrative, film, photograph and song, it tells the careers of both men, the highs and the lows, the laughter and tears. How Bill almost gave up showbusiness to become a University Lecturer and how Tom went from working with Kirk Douglas one day to signing on the dole the next !
