Dumb characters

[C W Northrop]

The sad death of Roger Lloyd-Pack recently made me ponder whether LOSW had any outright simpleton characters. Most people would say Compo but IMO he was ill-educated but not completely stupid. Now Ormeroyd from Catching Digby's Donkey....

I think you could probably make a case for Milburn.

Perhaps Eli because of his short-sightedness (long or a mixture of both, he was a Mr Magoo type character). His inability to see what was going on around him made him appear a bit dumb, at least for the comedy effect.

Morton Beemish as well.

Ludovic. He was just Drunk out of his gourd. I think Ormeroid was the best dumb character.

What about Armpepper (Arnpepper?)?? He of the "Howdo lads, anybody seen a canoe ??""

It is definitely Eli for me, however, I love his scenes! I just saw is walking scene in Who's Got Rhythm yesterday.

I think for me its Smiler, he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the box neither was Marina at times.

Forgot about Armpepper!! lol.

Arnpepper, with an N.

My hearing's not the sharpest , that's why I spelt it both ways : :
