Can I just add Extra! Extra! to this list. If ever an episode was made just for the sake of it, this was it.
I think if you look at each era of the programme, I think these episodes would be the worst
In the Blamire era I think the worst episode would be Some Enchanted Evening or Northern Flying Circus
In the Seymour era I think the worst episode would be The Experiment
In the Foggy era the worst episode would be Cash Flow Problems or Captain Clutterbuck's Treasure
In the Truly era the worst episode would have to come from the time that Mrs Avery is introduced as a character. I really don't think these episodes are well written and are over the top in their nature especially the Waggoners Roll and Some Vans Can Make You Deaf.

apart from captain Clutterbuck, which I quite like, I agree with every word of this post
As for Tom, in this site and the previous one, I always stick up for him. I guess it is my unofficial role in the forums. He was never the best character but I always thought he was very enjoyable.
Anyhow, wife and I both like the Character Tom became as
the series rolled on. But he did gain a bit round the middle.
Perhaps it was (what I think they call) the bacon buddies! I recall Tom mentioning his love for one ladies bacon buddies in one episode. Clarke used this before with Onslow in Keeping Up Appearances.
I think there would have been a Nora funeral episode if Kathy had predeceased Bill,Bill would have insisted on itBut worst of all .... Kathy Staff has died, but
we are told that Nora Batty has gone to Australia.
So Compo gets three episodes in which to die.
Nora gets nil.
rip off!
I agree, although i always thought in retrospect, all of the cast members that passed away should have had some form of farewell included in the show.
We have seen episodes where the trio would attend the funerals of fictional people such as "slasher" and the episode where Compo loses his ferret.
So i recon it was an own goal, not to have a decent send off for Sid, Wally and certainly Foggy and Nora, just think what mayhem the trio could have caused at those funerals.
When Kathy died, i think that it could have been a good move to have had an episode where her sister has got the sad news and is in the cafe, telling Ivy and maybe pearl, then the trio walk in and Ivy has to tell them.
We can all be armchair scriptwriters i suppose, so how that news would have affected Compo, well, we will never know but i'm sure it would have been an interesting one.
G ; )
Personally the last ever episode would rate as my least favorite, the fact so many loose ends were left untied. I feel there should be a special one off episode or even series to tie all these ends up whilst there is still time.
I also found the last episode to be very weak. I don't normally like saying bad things about the show but as it was asked.....
