In the series do they ever explain why Compo speaks with "thee" and "thou?"

[Fletch8600]

It's not something that ever needed explaining... He uses archaic words because it's regionally accurate, albeit in the older generation, of those found in the north of England, especially Yorkshire county.

[qthelost]

@Fletch8600 Yeah, I thought it might be regional, but I never heard any other character on the show talk that way, so I thought it might be particular to Compo. Thanks.

[Fletch8600]

You're right, no one else speaks as such to my knowledge, as well, in the show. It's a pity such words are dying out with the newer generations.

Quite welcome!

where have sitcoms gone? I miss these classic long running tv shows of the 90's.

Would have liked to seen Comp shag Nora once. Get it out of his system.

Its not that Nora Batty has healing powers its that eaven griples run away from her WHIT THEYR LEGS.
