Compo referred to Seymour as Pinocchio in Set the People Free

It would have given Compo the chance to sing a little bit of the song as a musical interlude if Roy had thought about it

Tha's got no strings
To hold thee down
To make thee fret
Or make thee frown
Tha had strings
But now thee's free
There are no strings on thee

or Ronnie Hazelhurst could have played a snippet of the music.

HE may have had a mention in the show but my jaw just hit the deck . I received my postal vote for the upcoming elections and one of the main party candidates is Hans Christian Andersen don't know if its been changed by deed poll but could well be his real name can you imagine if he is elected.

Hope the post is acceptable although about politics I am not purveying any views
