Cast
Seymour leaves to look after a school. Will life be boring for Compo and Clegg? Not for long, as Foggy Dewhirst returns to the fold.
Foggy has an idea to use portable radios to improve communications.
When Foggy hears about an athletic charity drive, he enters Compo and Clegg despite their wishes. An "injured" Howard drops out of the race and stops to recover in this young lady's refreshment stand. How refreshed can one man get?
Foggy is upset because he's not famous for anything, so he invents the sport of bicycle polo.
Our trio helps Captain Zero when his vehicle breaks down, but don't reckon on him getting drunk.
Ivy lets Foggy fix her toaster, and it goes to his flippin' head. Now he thinks he can restore the tatty sunken boat he's found at the bottom of the lake. He actually accomplishes even this, so Compo decides he must get Nora Batty into the boat alone with him. But surely Nora knows better - she'll have to be tricked.
After a heated encounter with two motorists, Foggy decides there must be money to be made providing parking spaces.
To stop Nora taking him for granted, Compo becomes a TV star for the day doing his legendary impression.
Having learned absolutely nothing from "The Charity Balls" just a few episodes back, Foggy tries to assert the boys' athletic prowess yet again, this time in a downhill barrel-rolling competition.
Compo is more than a little concerned when Smiler moves in as Nora Batty's lodger.
