I've often Wondered

Remember, Reggie was part of the three of episodes quickly written after Bill Owen passed away, so it was probably easier for Roy to include a new character than trawl through already known possible lady friends. Also, while it was convenient for Compo to have a secret ferret lover, it was not entirely out of character for Compo considering all his past dalliances! There were mentions of over 50 female counterparts from his past.

To be fair to you, a lot of the ideas which came at the end of the series made less sense than your valid question. For example the Reggie Unsworth storyline made no sense to me whatsoever! Keep firing in the idea's Bora it's great to consider different scenarios to our much loved sitcom

I think the Reggie Unsworth storyline worked for me as I have thought who was he going to leave his ferrets to. I don't know how long a time Compo had been going to see Reggie but I'm just surprised that Clegg and Foggy or Truly didn't follow him one Thursday to find out where he was going.

Do you think there was any thought of actually getting Compo and Nora together, maybe even married? There would have been huge comedy dividends with them living together, but maybe it was better left as it was? What do you lot think?

There is something that pulls at your very soul when there is a "will they, won't they" what will they do? type of thing that keeps you interested. Once the wedding bells have rung, it's like putting a pin in a balloon. Poof, all of the interest is gone. Also there's no way that Roy Clarke could have turned Compo into another Richard.
