Comedy Playhouse - Of Funerals And Fish

Blamire, Compo and Clegg are three opposites with one thing in common - determination to make each day as full as possible. After being thrown out of the library for smoking and eating, the trio head to the café and are driven away by argument, then do a little fishing - before a chance sighting up in the hills opens the library doors to them once more.
