A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics

S19E02 Tarzan Of The Towpath

The three friends find themselves tumbling down a hill rather than strolling down it like they used to as kids, but their age makes the thrill of adventure feel less appealing. Howard asks Barry to pass a message to Marina, but Barry, reluctant to take on the task, persuades Eli to do it instead. Unfortunately, Eli confuses the women, leading Howard to encounter a very large woman. Meanwhile, Nora Batty is enlisted to walk on Compo's back, hoping to relieve his troublesome spine.
