I work in a supermarket and the number of people who either 'forget' their own bags or "leave them in the car" - wish I had a penny for every time I heard that one - is amazing. Until we either start charging more than it costs for a recyclable bag or they are outlawed by parliament then that...

Totally agree >:(. Yet this country goes barmy on heaps of garbage bandied out every weekend with the likes of Simon Cowbell drooling at the prospect of a tuneless idiot raking him in more Millions. I am afraid that nowadays it is a case of gone and very much forgotten. We have very little...

He did not seem to swear at Seymour as much, often he would refer to Foggy as a pillock, and more often than not Seymour would smile at Compo when he insulted him. I think Seymour treat him as an overgrown naughty schoolboy. I wonder if Bill Owen meant some of the insults thrown at Brian Wilde...

I have the entire DA collection on DVD and have never noticed anyone who has appeared in SW - be it even a cameo, with the exception of the previously mentioned Blake Butler and Janet Davis. Which as many say is surprising. I think there were more in Open All Hours and that to my mind was Six...

Cannot remember the episode but I am sure it was Compo not been the Duchess of Bedford.

Favourite scene, I have just too many, but I have always been a big fan of Seymour and still love the scene when all three are ejected from the White Horse in "The Experiment" for Seymour gazing into Compo's eyes. Seymour: "You'll be hearing from my solicitor about this" Landlord "Not on...

Open All Hours by a country mile. I never tire of watching the DVDs, favourite episode has to be the one where Arkwright is selling Jamaican Ginger cake. The scene between Cyril and himself has me in tears of laughter.

In Which Romance Isn't Dead- Just Incompetent'. It's at the very beginning where the lads are about to launch themselves in a bin.

The ones at Tinsley, yes, they were a landmark as when they came in to view on the M1 you knew you were almost into Sheffield. A lot of people went along when they were demolished and it was around 1 or 2 am. Where I live there is a golf course at calverly and on a clear day you have a...

She was in Corrie back in 1999. I remember reading that Granada would not let her film the scenes for Compo's funeral and she was upset about it at the time. How selfish can they be?

I hate to put a dampner on things but look at it this way, how many spin-offs have actually been a success? None that I can think of, and I am talking about a genuine success, not a few fleeting episodes. For one thing, there would be too much comparison with the original - something of which...

The Empire That Foggy Nearly Built: When the trio are in the multi-story car park:- Foggy: "Look at that, not a vacant space" Compo (who is just behind Foggy, taps the side of his head while looking at Foggy) "Oh, I wouldn't say that" :D Also the scene in "When You Take A Good Bite...

Form which episode is this lovely Compo/Clegg exchange? Compo "What's a trice Norm?" Clegg "Well, it's like a jiffy, only with Three wheels" :D

I recall that I did read (not sure if it was on here, and if so my apologies to the original poster) that the tape for that particular special and series was in a bad state and they were having trouble re-mastering it. It's not actually the BBC who are at fault here, but Universal Playback who...

Nah, they should use her for one of the corner posts that they use bash each others heads on ;D

Compo (Brushes at Dawn) Clegg (A Short Blast Of Fred Astaire) Smiler (I think it was 'How To Create A Monster' ???) Foggy (Stop That Castle)

I wonder if she will cause havoc there too. Channel 4 on it's way up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Good riidance to a pile of rubbish.

No, it was his father - he was a chapel minister, as portrayed by Peter himself in 'First of the Summer Wine'
