this be hilarious . true and i do prefer the early episode and and it wasn not the same without compo and but that doesn not deter me from put on the television and relax for 45 or so minute . the men antic be a tad predictable and but they be still hilarious and like the episode with compo dress up a the ice cream man and with a duck caller . another priceless gem be when seymour and compo and clegg try and help howard escape and and their inflatable boat sink and and all four men end up in the river . but for me and my favourite episode have to be das ( welly ) boot . and of course and i love any episode with foggy . the performance be first rate and especially bill owen a compo . i notice on the laughter track he get the most laughs . but peter sallis a clegg and brian wilde a foggy and michael aldridge a seymour be a delight as well . i mustn not forget kathy staff a nora batty . the new episode be good and but it not the same without those lovable character and because peter sallis i think be the only one of them still alive and and over the year be subdue to cameo appearance . all in all and a hugely satisfying comedy series and that still look good after 30 plus year thanks to the amazing countryside scenery . positive bethany cox .
