The pilot episode aired as an episode of ''[[Comedy Playhouse]]'' on 4 January 1973<ref>{{cite web |title=BBC Genome Project – BBC Programme Index |url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/p03l1r0w |access-date=1 March 2024 |website=[[BBC Genome Project|BBC Genome]]|date=4 January 1973 }}</ref> and the first full series of episodes premiered on 12 November the very same year. The 31st (and final) series started broadcasting on 25 July 2010. Every episode was written by Roy Clarke.
As of 29 August 2010 (the very last day of transmission), a total of '''295''' episodes of ''[[Last of the Summer Wine]]'' have aired. This includes the ''[[Comedy Playhouse]]'' pilot, twenty-four Christmas Specials, three New Year Specials and a Millennium Special (but not the short Christmas sketch, a comedy trial or the 25 Year and 30 Year Documentaries). Some of these have been regular episodes (often held over from the previous series, or taken from the forthcoming series), others have been dedicated festive stories. Some of these specials have also been feature-length. All episodes are 30 minutes long, unless otherwise stated.

*The first three episodes of series 1 were edited together on the DVD in what appeared to be a straight transfer from the video release in the 1980s. "Pâté and Chips" ended with credits for all three episodes plus the original BBC Video ident; however, a re-release of series 1 & 2 in 2011 put all three episodes with their start and end credits back on them, on the same re-release the scene from the series 2 episode "Some Enchanted Evening" which was missing on the original release has been put back into the episode. Over the years there has been a number of edits on DVD releases in all regions with region 1 having certain music edits on the DVD releases. Region 2 DVDs have some edits such as Milburn not appearing in "The Loxley Lozenge" as he did on original transmission and "Uncle of the Bride" and "Big Day at Dream Acres" on the DVD release being only 1 of 3 versions of each episode, "Elegy for Fallen Wellies" on the region 2 DVDs is the alternate version on DVD and not the original transmission version, another episode edited was on the re-release of series 3 & 4 in 2010 when a line was removed from "The Kink in Foggy's Niblick" when the lady golfers go walking past Compo and Clegg. Apart from "Elegy for Fallen Wellies" there doesn't appear to be much editing on the later releases in region 2. A scene with Milburn and Pearl in the cafe is also cut from the [[Last of the Summer Wine (series 8)|series 8]] episode "Catching Digyby's Donkey", which is present on the region 1 DVD release.
