You have the two stars on your avatar picture , which do you consider yourself to be most like??Cleggy or Truly?
OK, I have come up with a top six, and then an honorable mention for seven more. I have a slight bias towards Series 8 because I just finished watching it. Also, most of these 13 are early Foggy episodes. It is not because I think Foggy is superior to the other third men, it is just because that seems to be the time that the real classics were made. Having said that, I believe there are many great Truly and Seymour episodes, however they are just one step behind these 13.
The runner ups are…..
Short Back and Palais Glide
The Flag and Snags episodes
Set The People Free
Three Men and a Mangle
Destiny and Six Bananas
Lair of the Cat Creature
Follow that Bottle
OK, top Six are…..
Great Boarding House Bathroom Caper- simply because it was great to see the trio together on a trip and Foggy and Compo were a great mix back then. The hotel room scene and the dining room scene are great.
Full Steam Behind- Foggy is at his best as a train enthusiast. The train mishaps and Clegg and Compo’s lack of enthusiasm are great.
Mysterious Feet of Nora Batty – I believe this is Wally most prominent episode. The scenes at the Batty residence and the ladder and shoe measurer at the end are great.
Keeping Britain Tidy- It is just one great scene after another. From the ladder and bicycle scene, to the café scene and the Batty residence scene. The episode is hilarious from beginning to end.
Who’s Looking After the Café Then- The entire time the trio takes over the café, along with the single customer and mishaps with the ladders, scaffold, and Wally’s van, are great. Compo was hilarious with his “waiter skills”.
The Empire that Foggy Built- The scenes where they are in town trying to attract customers and the awkward driving scenes are great.
