That Would Hurt

[maltrab]

There are many scenes over the years, where one or more of the cast did something that normally would cause injury and would really hurt, which ones can you recall, just one example per post please, I will start with the Foggy trio at the end of "The Mysterious feet of Nora Batty" all falling off the steps and into the river, ouch

 

[Pearl]

Smiler in Aladdin Gets on Your Wick, falls over the wall at the canal.

 

[Pearl]

Compo in Who's Feeling Ejected Then falling off the roof of Barry's car.

 

[Marianna]

Pearl, in A Leg Up For Christmas. The trio brings Howard home with a cast on his leg, having gotten him a ride in the hearse that Wesley had given himself as a Christmas gift. When Compo tells her he's outside in the hearse she faints, falling backward with her body straight, and clips the back of her right shoulder on the corner of the sofa. That must have been a big ouch, completely unscripted.

I've always thought that, it looked painful.

It cant have been comfortable for Compo with his weight being held by the rope wrapped round his middle dressed as Father Christmas.

 

[maltrab]

Compo dropped from a Railway Bridge in "Full Steam Behind"

 

[dick]

Smiler in Aladdin Gets on Your Wick, falls over the wall at the canal.

He apparently found something to fall on!

 

[dick]

AS did Compo and Pearl when they fell over the wall at the end of IRONING DAY ?

 

[Peripheral]

I thought that is why they had stand-ins.

You may have missed the point Peri "normally cause injury and would really hurt "

 

[imitation700mb]

In the Bicycle Bonanza when Foggy's bicycle brakes fail and he falls over the wall. "Did you see that? Did you see that paratrooper's roll?"

 

[Louise Lawrence]

In Flower Power Cut when Foggy fell backwards off a wall.

 

[imitation700mb]

Also in the Bicycle Bonanza, when Smiler is delivering leaflets and Eli runs over him on his bicycle. I always think Smiler would have injuries that would put him in hospital.

 

[imitation700mb]

And in Wellies to Wet Suit, when Compo is waterskiing and being towed by Sid's motorbike.

I should have said 'stuntmen/women

 

[maltrab]

Compo going though the caravan roof in "All Mod Conned"

 

[Cloggy]

When Compo fell backwards down the steps in the deckchair,
trying to woo Nora Batty.

 

[Electrical Entwistle]

The trio rolling down a big hill inside of barrels. That would have caused an injury when they were kids let alone as seniors!

They did things, even the S.A.S. would not do!
