Wesley has gone into the catering industry with, his new improved go anywhere vending dispenser.

But just what self respecting pillock, would ever dream of trusting him with anything remotely mechanical?

Since Tom Simonite has moved into his dad Compo's home, Nora Batty has commenced acting most uncharacteristically.

While Compo resided as Norma's next door neighbour, she had only one attitude towards him. That of outright hostility at his every impulse, but just what has brought about her complete metamorphosis?

Compo must be spinning in his after life at, any consideration that his son is succeeding where he so woefully failed.

After the wonderful character actor Bill Owen sadly passed away it was right not to, try and make a direct swap of trying to replace the irreplaceable.

So why bother to bring in his actual son Tom Owen, to play his character Compo Simonite's son Tom?

It may have seemed a good idea in a planning meeting, but much more thought should have been put into the implementation.

In this episode his character appears to be slipping into the scenery, as it apparently becomes more peripheral.

At this point of the shows arc we can see a marked difference to the much earlier episodes, one key part is in the character count.

When the show commenced there were far fewer with three principles, Compo, Clegg and Blamire. The episodes revolved around them with, the remaining characters there to service their exploits.

By Series 21 there were to say the least rather more characters, the problem is with only 30 minutes each one has less screen time.
