1986 Specials - Uncle Of The Bride

For Compo and Clegg, the wedding of Wesley and Edie's daughter would have been little more than a happy diversion, but when they meet Uncle Seymour - retired headmaster and would-be brilliant inventor - nothing seems to go quite as expected - especially when he takes charge of the groom on his stag night.
