I've been keeping a list of the times Compo's Matchbox appeared, like I did with the list of names the natives had for Foggy. I've started my viewing of Series 19. Here is what I have so far, with the exception of whether it appeared in "Barry's Christmas" I haven't viewed that episode yet (waiting for Christmas day to watch it like I did "What Santa Brought for Nora".

And none of us any the wisr for what was really in it.

They say, actually nobody knew what was in it, not even Bill Owen :D.

That would make sense: in fact a lot of the mystique was, I beleive, in part due to Wake up to Wogan which majored on wrinkled stockings and the match box if my memeory serves me well.
 
Just watched "Beware the Vanilla Slice" and after a series and a half Compo's mysterious matchbox returns for an appearance. This time Compo shows it to a bar maid.
 
Just an updating of the list..

Yes but Cleggy just looks amused - the female bar people whether bystandrs or whatever, seem to react more vocally!
