Yes they certainly were a low point , Compo leaving us ,was heart breaking and you can understand how hard it would have been for Mr Clarke to carry on with the outstanding quality, I have said this before, but any episode that features Tom Owen in a substantial part, to me are bad, he just doesn't cut it for me, very lucky to get the part and he never took the chance he was given and actually learn to act ,he is a very poor actor in my opinion ,probably a lovely fella, but an actor he ain't, on the other hand his Dad was an underrated fantastic performer..
>I watched my least favourite episode the other night. However i have to confess to a "senior moment" having forgotten the title.It concerned Truly's re-union with Audrey Nash a k a The Widow Dilhooley.Even Barry and Wesley failed to 'rescue' it.

I will have to agree with the latter part of this. The episodes with Mrs. Avery and Babs are NOT among my favorites. The pairing of Tom and Smiler while they were working for Auntie Wainwright was a good idea, indeed.
But worst of all .... Kathy Staff has died, but
we are told that Nora Batty has gone to Australia.
So Compo gets three episodes in which to die.
Nora gets nil.
rip off!
