This episode is notable for the introduction of Eli, the well meaning but short sighted wartime pal of Wally Batty who always got into scrapes but there is nothing wrong with his distant vision as he spots Wally from half a mile away.
Wally has been asked to get a good clothes line by Nora but he rather sup beer with Eli. So Compo disguises himself as Wally, wears his leathers and goes to fix the washing line.
Meanwhile Seymour decides to build Edie a waste disposal unit. The person at the hardware shop warns Seymour that the motor is too powerful. Wesley is upset that it is left to him to plumb the thing and as always it does not work properly.
Roy Clarke found a gem with Eli, he managed to write a short skit involving him for some years.
