How about taking time out to appreciate the fabulous performances of the late actor Danny O'Dea as the hapless Eli in Last of the Summer Wine? His short-sightedness caused many an amusing scenario - in particular when he spectacularly mistook a hearse for an ice-cream van and ordered a 99 with a flake! Now, isn't that better than expressing anger at a football team? I also fondly recall, from the same sitcom, Joe Gladwin as Wally Batty, the long-suffering husband of Nora. What a guy - he allowed Compo to blatantly chase the affections of his wife. |  |
