[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 129761, member: 23"] It's a difficult task that he had, effectively replacing Bill Owen. It's taken me a while to click with the character, but I think he does a nice job of being of a similar temperament and energy without being an ersatz clone of Compo. As time's gone on, I've noticed Billy using the same more traditional Yorkshire way of speaking as Compo ("thee" or "thy" instead of "you" for instance"). It's not jarring, but just a little reminder that the lines could just as easily be written for Compo. [/QUOTE]
