- "The joy of Bill Owen's Compo is not what he does with the words but where he takes the character beyond what's in the script. He did this in a physical manner. It was only when I saw Bill on screen that I realized what a wonderful physical clown he was." (en)
- "Compo Semmontie is a jobless oyke. That man was a bad bicycle rider, a terrible crossword solver, a rubbish at the quiz; he told you the answers by mistake or as a prank, you know. He liked to use a B4 pencil for wiring with, picked cars locks, had more knives than Crocodile Dundee, loved to buy a good gamble, flew kites at high speeds and low altitudes and bought reject batches of personalised mugs at discount prices. Well I will always remember how he hated kippers, he never wore shorts, called breadcakes anything except breadcakes, made friends sleep on deflated airbeds, was obsessed with Ivy and Nora Batty, loved a good curry with his mate, enjoyed a canal canoe session, hated football, didn't believe in pandemic flu; though he knew everything. Overall nice guy, but by god didn't he half moan and drink. Boy I will miss that comforting smell of cow dung and curried rice; I relay will!" (en)
