Getting Sam Home
In answer to his one last request, Compo, Clegg and Foggy reluctantly sneak Sam out of his invalid bed for a final frolic with the not so young as she used to be Lily-Bless-Her. Then - with an unthinking lack of gratitude and a smile on his face - Sam drops them right in it by becoming far more trouble dead than alive...
Notes
Due to John Comer's advanced throat cancer his voice sounded so poor that Tony Melody re-dubbed all his lines. In most scenes he says nothing to avoid the need for re-dubbing.
