Although I personally feel I identify more closely with the character of Norman Clegg than William 'Compo' Simonite I cannot deny the genius that Bill Owen brings to screen.
This episode encapsulates that genius. His sheer brilliance and raw physical comic timing is what makes this episode so great. The narrative is standard Summer Wine fare, and this is a good thing.
It may not make your list of top 10 episodes, it may not even make your list of top 25, but it is still a fantastic episode and deserves each and every one of the 8 stars I have awarded it.
8* - Brilliant
