Iv just seen this now I'm so happy Peter and bill are buried beside each other they were great pals now they'll be together forever RIP you both gave us so many great laughs you'll never be forgotten from fans in ireland xx
I love the episode where he's driving a van and offers the lads a lift, which they refuse, then he drives the van into a field and crashes into some hay bales!
I hear that Danny O'Dea lived in a retirement home in Hartshead, no great distance from where I was brought up in Mirfield and that when he was wanted in Holmfirth, they sent a taxi for him. Worth every penny of the fare!
Other classic scenes of Eli was when he ends up inside the house next door to Sid's café, or where upon leaving a shop walks into a conservatory loaded on the back of a trailer. It's a mystery how he ever found his way home.
Eli had only few lines in each episode, pretty much like Trigger in Fools and Horses but he was a cracking actor, a really underrated actor, these are the best actors and characters in the series. Howard / Pearl Ivy / Nora Batty / Wally Eli / Marina Foggy Compo / Clegg / Seymour TrueLove Auntie Wainright / Smiler In that order, but depending on episodes, as far as I am concerned they are all great actors Not to forget the brilliant writer Roy Clarke
Eli was so funny, we always saw hime for just a few moments. It's great to see a whole 5 minutes here. I do know of more clips also. Notably there was the scene where he gets new glasses, and we see him come out of the optician. Also (not sure if same episode) we see him walk and stop on the lift on the back of a truck, which then raises, and then Eli walks directly off onto an adjacent car bonet (I think) and then directly into a skip.
If you ever make a compilation in tribute to Wally Batty I'd be delighted, he was one of my favourites. Especially the Nora-Wally-Motorbike and sidecar scenes!
That is my favourite scene of Eli (although it was great whenever he did appear), he's just come out of the opticians and mistaking a dustcart for a bus, he walks on holding on to the rail...just brilliant stuff. Seeing him a couple of times in one particular episode was a rare treat, he's wearing an advertising board for Auntie Wainwright and he ends up falling down a man hole and then wanders onto an explosion site, just moments before they detonise the fuse... just hilarious. So sad Danny that you are no longer with us, THANKYOU for the years of laughter, may you rest in peace, I hope and pray you found those pearly gates alright 😂😂 God Love You Danny, you were a true gem!!
Auntie Wainright was also a comical character - her fingers would always start wriggling when she smelt money, and when she said "I felt a shiver-like somebody walked over my purse!"

Loved Eli, such a legend, they were all so great, but Eli just stood out, he was the magic icing on top of a great mix of wonderful talent 🌟👍❤️
Eli is my favorite of the “extra” actors as I guess you’d call them. His parts were usually small in the show but they were always hilarious 😂
Eli was brilliant never enough said about that man
the best comedy ever.
I love the episode where he's driving a van and offers the lads a lift, which they refuse, then he drives the van into a field and crashes into some hay bales!
Love the music when Eli arrives into a scene
I hear that Danny O'Dea lived in a retirement home in Hartshead, no great distance from where I was brought up in Mirfield and that when he was wanted in Holmfirth, they sent a taxi for him. Worth every penny of the fare!
He was so sweet. Those glasses were 5 feet thick it's amazing he didn't get run Over
I just love all the series and always had a good laugh when Eli came along he played a small part but I'm sure made thousands have a good laugh.
Ya gotta love Eli. I smile every time I see him. He was a treasure.
Other classic scenes of Eli was when he ends up inside the house next door to Sid's café, or where upon leaving a shop walks into a conservatory loaded on the back of a trailer. It's a mystery how he ever found his way home.
I remember that one. The audience was absolutely wetting themselves with laughter.
Definitely the funniest character in Summer Wine.
Eli Duckett, an absolute legend
Britain's live-action answer to Mr Magoo...
I remember that episode where Eli mistook Pearl for Marina. I was in awe. All I could think was: "Where's Pearl been hiding that all these years?"
Nice job! Love our Eil
You missed the parts whenever he goes into a bar to play darts, he’s lethal with them lol
Eli had only few lines in each episode, pretty much like Trigger in Fools and Horses but he was a cracking actor, a really underrated actor, these are the best actors and characters in the series.
Howard / Pearl
Ivy / Nora Batty / Wally
Eli / Marina
Foggy
Compo / Clegg / Seymour
TrueLove
Auntie Wainright / Smiler
In that order, but depending on episodes, as far as I am concerned they are all great actors
Not to forget the brilliant writer Roy Clarke
Pure comedy genius

thanks, your right i try to get them but had trouble finding them. apart from compo, Clegg and foggy Eli was one of my favorites
If you ever make a compilation in tribute to Wally Batty I'd be delighted, he was one of my favourites. Especially the Nora-Wally-Motorbike and sidecar scenes!
I thought it was hilarious when he said "Wife? - there's nobody had more wife than me".

Danny O'Dea (AKA Eli) was an absolute legend! 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
Eli Duckett, The Mr Magoo Of The Show. He’s As Blind as a Mole. Like Phoebe From Rupert & The Marsh Mystery.
When Will He Ever Get Contact Lenses?
I loved Eli and his longsightedness
Auntie Wainright was also a comical character - her fingers would always start wriggling when she smelt money, and when she said "I felt a shiver-like somebody walked over my purse!"

back when the show was funny went down hill when bill Owen died towards the end it was full of old hazbeens who,s careers were over
Oh hardly. They were in the show because of their pedigree and talent.
