Seymour

[Amos Hames 2]

Now. I know he wasn't everyone's favourite but as I've said before I personally thought he bought a different direction as the Third man and some of the best episodes are with him. I wonder how his character would have gone if he hung round.

I liked him I would have loved to see more of Seymour

I like the Seymour series too, but the second series of Foggy is my favorite..

 

[Norman Clegg]

He was deferent to the rest of the trio but he added a foundation that layed out the rest of the show

I also think he came along at the right time and galvanised the actors. It's well known that Brian Wilde was unpopular with many of the production team and actors & when Michael Aldridge came along he was very popular and a team player and settled things down.

I think I have mentioned before, Michael seemed to be enjoying what he was doing, several times he can be seen smiling to himself when he listens to the other actors lines

I think he bonded well with Peter and Bill very well

Michael brought charm and affability in spades that was only only matched in my opinion when Truly consoled Clegg over Compo's passing. Whilst Foggy was endearing and his crazy schemes needed to keep the dynamic duo of Cleggy and Compo in line with Seymour he brought a great deal of warmth to their companionship on top.

In my humble opinion the measure of the man was that my favourite 3 Christmas specials were "Uncle Of The Bride","Crums" and "What's Santa Bought For Nora,Then ?"......as everyone has said,the bond of genuine camaraderie was evident...the dialogue between the 3 was absolutely superb.....not just because of Roy's genius,but because they seemed to be really enjoying the specific scenes,and each other's company.....I completely agree with The Captain....I would have loved to see Seymour's character evolve...he was a breath of fresh air,and I feel that series 9 to 12 contain some of the best episodes

Took me a few episodes to warm up to Seymour. Then really started to enjoy his character. Would have been nice if he was able to have stayed with the show longer.

Michael was required to go home to see to his wife as she was ill. I'm sure that everyone wanted to see more of Seymour, but he was needed at home.

I remember watching the Seymour episodes for the first time and thinking he wasn't as good as Foggy.

 

[Graham]

His first appearance reminded me of the "Back to the future" Prof, but he settled down afterwards.

Crums is superb. My favourite episode full stop.

I vaguely recall when I was young watching the last few episodes with foggy before he left. The Seymour episodes are the ones I grew up on. This can influence opinion, I have high regard for those episodes and Seymour. Seymour had a softer tone towards Compo when Foggy was more abrupt and sneering.

 

[Bora Natty]

I think you're right, we only ever saw the second series of Foggy here in the U.S. and I'm sure that influenced my choice. Welcome aboard Long Prawn!

Thank you very much. Great to be here

 

[Compo's Ferret]

Seymour was my favourite third man and I think he fitted into the trio/series very well, only sorry that he was unable to do more episodes

 

[Amos Hames 2]

I'd have liked Seymour to meet Foggy in his Final episode if only briefly at the bus stop to hand over the leader of men mantel

 

[Bora Natty]

That would have been interesting. Had tea and exchanged prisoners so to speak..

Amos, there is a 'one time' photo of them together but they didn't appear on screen. Will Post it later when I'm back home.
