Ep 3. Compo Goes To Church

In the third episode of season one of Last of the Summer Wine, titled "Compo Goes to Church," the three elderly friends, Compo, Clegg, and Blamire, decide to attend church in order to get a better understanding of their local community. Compo, who is known for his mischievous behavior, has never been to church before and is initially reluctant to attend.

As they arrive at the church, they meet the vicar and his wife, who are surprised that Compo has never been to church before. They invite the trio to attend their Sunday School class, where they are introduced to a group of young children. Compo is less than impressed, but Clegg and Blamire quickly make a connection with the children.

The three friends then attend the church service, but they find themselves distracted by the various sights and sounds around them. Compo in particular is fascinated by the different hymns and prayers, and he decides to take a closer look at the Bible.

As they leave the church, the friends bump into an old flame of Compo's, who he tries to impress with his newfound knowledge of church. However, she sees through his act and instead reveals that she is now married to a wealthy businessman.

Back in their local pub, the trio recount their experiences at church to their friend Sid. Sid is skeptical of their newfound spirituality, but the trio defend their decision to attend church and try to understand the community around them.

Overall, "Compo Goes to Church" is a lighthearted and entertaining episode of Last of the Summer Wine. While it may not have a particularly deep storyline, it showcases the comedic talents of the show's three main characters and offers a glimpse into the unique world of the Yorkshire countryside.
