Last of the Summer Wine

Clegg and Truly volunteer to collect music for Tom. Their search leads them to discover that the requested item is not a collection of songs but a large console organ. This unexpected find shifts the focus of their mission.

Waggoners Roll is a programme presented as an episode, belonging to the broader series under that title. It is listed simply as a programme entry, without any further classification beyond its episode format. In this particular instalment, the characters Clegg and Truly step forward with an offer to gather music on behalf of Tom. Their intention is to collect a selection of tunes that Tom requires, and they present themselves as willing helpers in this musical quest. As they pursue the task, Clegg and Truly soon discover that what they have been asked to collect is not a set of individual pieces at all, but rather a single, substantial console organ. The realisation that the “music” is embodied in a large instrument rather than a collection of scores changes the nature of their assignment entirely. The episode therefore centres on the moment of that discovery, highlighting the contrast between the expectation of gathering assorted music and the actual presence of a sizeable console organ. This twist forms the core of the narrative, driving the characters’ actions as they confront the unexpected form of Tom’s request.
