I would have to say Seymour followed by Foggy.
I liked how Seymour invented things and Compo would have to be the guinea pig.
Honestly, I like Truelove. Maybe it's because I know the actor from playing Captain Peacock, but I like him best.
shareI think Truly then Seymore. Foggy was annoying and Blaymire wasn't on long enough for me to warm up to him.
That best episodes were the season plus three with Truly and Compo. Magic.
Ah me, I love, love, love Frank Thorton! :) He just can do no wrong.
But with that said, I'm going to have to go with Foggy. Or maybe I can say both in different ways? Seymore wasn't bad, but I haven't seen much of his time. The first Third Man, I think, is my least favorite.

I like Truly (Frank Thornton)...and I loved Compo (Bill Owen)...But I have to admit I like the post-Compo episodes best...don't get me wrong...I love the older episodes, too...it's just that I'm young and I like Tom Simmonite...he is hilarious! My favorite line from him is from 2000 when Mrs. Avery and Barry were fighting and he says "Get closer Barry you're not on Email!" Best line in the series hands down IMHO lmao!
A movie to watch: "Defying Gravity"
Also: check out "Pathology".
Oh, I'm only now watching Tom's first episodes. Never saw them before. I really haven't watched much of his time on the show, so I am definitly keeping an open mind.

It'd have to be Truly for me. The only thing I really liked about Foggy was the actor's voice and some of his lines. Overall the character just annoyed me somehow. I also kind of like Blamire even if he was a bit dull in comparison to some of the others.
shareFoggy. His uptight nature next to Compo's lack of manners was a hilarious mix.
AnnieBell
Perfect Love casts out all fear.
I agree with AnnieBell: Foggy was the best. He was by far the funniest, especially when paired with Compo. Seymour was a close second. I never liked Truly. He was too bossy and I didn't think he was funny.
Hmmmm ... Foggy got too repetative ... too soon!
top 3 for me
No.1 Blamire
No.2 Seymour
No.3 Truly
But the true STAR of LOTSW ... was John Comer (Sid) sadly died in 1984
If you don't ask Questions ... You don't get Answers!
Foggy by a mile!
shareFoggy! Not even a close contest! By far and away the funniest series featured Compo, Clegg and Foggy. Seymour was good, too. No-one else comes close to those two. The later series were a pale shadow of the show at its peak (although still entertaining in a very undemanding way).
shareFOGGY! Hes the man!
