@@ronmccullock1407 Undoubtedly so, he seems to have lost a huge amount of weight making his face look saggy and gaunt, and his clothes are hanging off him. I think he was only 53, as you say he could pass for 73. Interestingly Jim Bowen also looks way older than his years, I think he would only have been 47 in this clip, he looked like a man in his 60s.
@@kevinfowkes2327 Rubbish lifestyles put a lot of these guys away early. Crompton looks like he’s been excavated, 75 year olds today look younger than he does here…all those years on The Comedians and Shunters, he survived on a straight diet of unfiltered John Players and neat brandy, barely ate…Manning on the other hand somehow blustered his way to 77 but a really unhealthy one…years of gorging on fish and chips, curries and full Englishes left him diabetic, physically incapacitated and all his organs fucked….cutting out the booze and smokes bought him some years….but he was banjaxed toward the end
Heartbreaking to see what years of hardcore chain-smoking did to Colin Compton. This was just a few months before he passed and you can see how gravelly ill he was…..
Gods of comedy, we need these guys back, these days it's so dire.......
All these guys are legends.
Those days are gone.
It's 2020 you can't good laugh nowadays.
Everyone's too easily offend. 😔
Great comedians from the good old days .don't make them like Frank and co no more .

Colin Crompton, Is a ringer for Frank Skinner.
probably Colin Crompton's last tv appearance,..he died of cancer that same year...love his chairman character
British Comedy UK Colin didn't look too good in this clip.
Colin looked old in the clip but he was not, Guess his illness made him look old like he was 70
