Interview with Brian Wilde, Peter Sallis and Frank Thornton
Uncork a barrel of vintage laughs with the full-bodied humor of Compo (Bill Owen), Clegg (Peter Sallis) and Foggy (Brian Wilde), three lovable geezers who haven't matured gracefully. You can't help but smile along with their live audiences as these lovable senior delinquents corrupt the picturesque town of Holmfirth in the Yorkshire Dales with their second-childhood antics. These vintage episodes are considered the best of the vine, as they introduced Foggy, the longest standing and most beloved of the several "third men" who appeared alongside Compo and Clegg throughout the years. A former soldier, Foggy liked to boast of his exploits in the Second World War, but when confronted, he was generally meek and incompetent. Savor the world's longest-running sitcom and prepare for even more perfectly aged comedy.
The Man From Oswestry - Compo and Clegg are minus one playmate now that Blamire has gone, but things soon look up when Foggy Dewhurst (Brian Wilde) arrives on the scene and makes his presence felt.
Mending Stuart's Leg - Stuart has a 'click' in his knee. Has anyone else got one?
The Great Boarding House Bathroom Caper - The lads are on a holiday break to Scarborough, but what is the secret of Compo's cardboard box?
Cheering Up Gordon - Despite being on holiday, Compo's nephew persists in being miserable. What can be done to cheer him up?
The Kink In Foggy's Niblick - Foggy decides football is too dangerous, so he goes back to playing golf - even though his clubs have not seen the light of day for years.
Going To Gordon's Wedding - It is Gordon's wedding day, but how many comings and goings under the threat of Big Malcolm can the assembled guests stand?
Isometrics And After - Foggy decides Compo and Clegg are not as fit as they should be. The path back to physical fitness is isometrics, or is it?
