Thank you ever so much for this John! Just shows there are a few gems in the latter episodes 
I often wonder how [and why] our hero Mr.Clarke wrote Hobbo's famous "THE WHEEL !!!....THE WHEEL!!!...IS MY FOOT ON THE WHEEL ????" running gag ?.........it was the last series equivalent of "I AM A DIRECT DECENDANT OF ROBIN HOOD......ON MY MOTHER'S SIDE....SHE WAS A BRISTOW !!!...[if I had a pound for every time "THE HAWK" said that I would be a rich man !!!!.

Comedy is littered with catchphrases throughout history, Mr Clarke simply maintained that thread perhaps.
Firstly [and most importantly] my Geordie mate....CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING WEMBLEY !!!!!!......now you must do yer 'arld Scouse docker mate a BIIIIIIIIIG FAVOUR.......and beat those dirty stinkin' reds !!!!!.
I love Edie's "drink yer coffee"....and Alvin's "direct descendant".......it's just Hobbo's "wheel and foot gag" tends to grate on me.....to be honest Captain.......out of our 31 series the Hobbo episodes are my least favourite.
As Barry said....a few good episodes....BUT...for me....too many "not up to Roy's exceptional standards" episodes.
Mr.Clarke is an absolute GEEEEENIUS for keeping it fresh......introducing new characters throughout......and keeping EVERY ONE OF US obsessed and in love with "OUR THING"!!!!.

Thank you I certainly hope we beat the Pool , if Plymouth can [have you stopped celebrating yet ) then surely we can to. I think Russ Abbot was perhaps a Hobson's choice [no pun intended] in terms of comedic actors available . I always felt he was basically repeating aspects of his act and show he did years ago, Madhouse. Typical example when the three , led by Hobbo, sang and moved to Let's all do the Jam Roly Poly its the sort of thing he would have done in his show.
