There as so many hilarious Compo skits, I don't know where to begin. I enjoyed EVERY initial skit with Compo and Nora - I wondered how many were scripted and how many were ad lib - brilliant.
Today I watched another great Bill Owen skit in Wellies to Wetsuit - where Compo spends some quality time in the magazine shop. I about lost urinary control. Only Compo would think nothing of "strolling" into a shop while wearing wetsuit and fins, then lean against a bookshelf... then dig "deep" into his wetsuit for change for a paper... then just as calmly stole out as though it were something he did every day. Bill showed such comic timing, poise, and use of props - fine form. OMG! I'm still giggling.
Can we discuss our favorite Compo skits (not episodes - rather his skits within episodes)? And why we like them?
I gotta say, I really miss Bill Owen - he was the master magician for me.
