Polo on a bike

An episode that could had been interchangeable with one featuring Seymour instead of Foggy.

Corporal Signwriter is sick and tired of being embarrassed by Compo when he takes a boy's bike and the dad gets hold of Foggy and in a ladies clothes shop, it is Foggy who ends up buying a hat that Compo took to mess about with.

Foggy has thought of a new sport which he thinks will take the country by storm and wants to keep it all top secret. Bike Polo but three old men trying to hit a ball while riding a bike is not that easy.

The episode felt rather routine and I did not buy for a minute that Compo could move so fast when he landed Foggy in it.
