That Would Hurt

Bill Owen when he was very ill, standing on a ladder outside of Nora's window. And when the camera was turned off -- the dunking of the trio when the canoe they were in tipped over, after being assured by all that it was safe. And when Bill Owen and Peter Sallis had to stand in waist deep water (in a new location) per the script, and later were informed by the locals that it was a good thing they didn't go out further because there was a sudden drop-off.
 
I have to say all of these examples whilst sounding quite ghastly would have surely been undertaken by their doubles/stuntmen who thankfully are trained to undertake all the pieces of action too dangerous/painful for the stars . Thankfully they were more accomplished than Chip Cobb the hard of hearing Stuntman character from the Fast Show. :)
