    Compo's thoughts

    The opening line from "Car And Garter"... "How do you get marmalade off a ferret?" Not particularly philosophical, but a funny and wacky way to open an episode.

    Sandwiches

    I guess we can assume that, although it wasn't planned for a picnic, that they ate the bananas on their way home at the end of the episode "Destiny And Six Bananas".

    After Foggy's 2nd exit from LOTSW...

    ...was there ever any mention of him? I remember after his 1st exit when Clegg and Compo received painted eggs from his business in Bridlington. However, the 2nd time around, I don't recall anything other than the episode that introduced Truly as his replacement. Since then, nothing. After...

    Rip frank thornton

    Sad news indeed. His roles as Truly and Captain Peacock were iconic to say the least. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Rest in peace Frank, and thanks for all the laughs.

    Compo's Bread

    Did Compo put anything else between his bread slices besides cheese or potted meat?

    Clumsy Cleggy

    I recall Clegg always having accidents with his bicycle, like in "Forked Lightning".

    A Clean Sweep

    After watching this episode, I was wondering what the connection is between weddings and chimney sweeps in England. Was it something done just for this episode, or is it some sort of good luck to have a chimney sweep attend a wedding?

    episodes where Wally left Nora

    Edie And The Automobile Some Enchanted Evening There was another I can't remember the title at the moment, but it's where Foggy and Compo snuck Wally out of the house and got Clegg to substitute for him, scrubbing the carpet outdoors.

    regarding the Seymour-era episode "Jaws"

    regarding the Seymour-era episode "Jaws" Remember the scene when they're all in the machine shop to pick up the waste disposal unit? Here in the US, they blurred out the picture of the scantily-clad woman on the calendar on the wall. Did they also censor it in the UK as well? I'll have to dig...

    Greatest Scene From the Cafe

    "Mending Stuart's Leg", when they're all on their hands and knees listening to the anomaly in Stuart's leg, totally unaware that ivy is standing at the end of the line. "And A Dewhurst Up A Fir Tree", where Ivy and Nora trick Compo into following them into the cafe kitchen, only to steal his...

    1989 Christmas Special; What's Santa Brought for Nora Then?

    With regards to "Crums", did Compo actually play the banjo, or was it dubbed in by a session musician?

    question about the post-Compo years

    After Compo's passing, did LOTSW do any more full-length feature movies and/or Christmas specials? I don't seem to recall, but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know. Thanks.

    And a Dewhurst up a fir tree

    Not only one of my favorite Christmas episodes, but one of my favorite LOTSW episodes of all-time. It never gets old to see Foggy fall for some scam and get duped out of his money. I thought it funny that he thought he could get rich and drive a Rolls Royce from a plot of 100 trees! Then, when...

    Greatest ever Clegg line

    from Merry Christmas Father Christmas "Christmas comes but once a year, and we still can't afford it."

    The Great Boarding House Bathroom Caper Cheering Up Gordon All Mod Conned Feel free to add to this list and discuss which LOTSW beach episodes were your favorite. For me personally, I've got to go with "All Mod Conned". Foggy -- "We can nip out for provisions." Clegg (pointing out into the...

    Sid

    One of my personal favorite episodes that centered around Sid was "Deep In The Heart Of Yorkshire". Some great writing on Roy Clarke's part. I had no idea why Sid was sneaking off into the woods with a bedding roll until the trio discovered him in the cowboy outfit he wore for the church charity...

    Christmas Presents for SW Folk

    Compo would get a new belt for his pants so he won't need to nick Nora's clothesline anymore. Foggy would get an electronic daily planner / organizer so everything he does goes off with clockwork precision. Clegg would get a new ironing board and iron, given his fondness of ironing clothes...

    Just finished viewing Compo's Passing Trilogy

    I have yet to watch the trilogy of episodes a second time around. Granted, some funny moments in those episodes, but I still see them as overshadowed by Compo's passing. I guess I need some time to pass until I can watch them again. I vividly remember the nature scenes in "Just A Small Funeral"...

    Truly

    Seeing as how Frank was occupied with Are You Being Served at the time, it's just as well that things worked out the way they did.
