Good evening.
It's wonderful to be back with you again, isn't it, Ronnie? Yes, indeed it
And in a packed programme tonight, we were to have met Elasto, the India
man, but unfortunately this afternoon he slid down the banisters and erased
himself.
And later in the show, we will be having a live link -up with Britain's rudest
doctor, direct from his Harley Street insulting rooms.
But first, the news. Hamilton Breakspear, the heavyweight boxer who's
knocked out in every fight in his career, was admitted to hospital today
suffering from a cauliflower bottom.
And news tonight that the army junior leader's expedition to Borneo has
a sad depletion of numbers.
Cannibals have already had three hard -boiled sergeants, two half -baked
corporals and a raw recruit.
The anonymous pools winner who fainted at the news of his giant win and fell
into a vat of plaster of Paris is today said to be set for life.
Colonel Bill Lomax, the world's greatest elephant tracker, was buried today. In
future, he's decided not to follow so close behind the elephant.
And finally, Andy McGowan, the sailor whose family kept a light burning for
in the window for 30 years, returned home to Perth today to one of the
electricity bills ever seen.
And now a sketch about a hiking holiday in the Lake District in which I go with
a girl who works in Bristol and has a large pair of boots.
And I go with a girl who works in boots.
And has a large map of the area.
You and your friends want to get in the council house. You have to have all the
details, you see. Oh, yes. Otherwise, you'll get... There's five of you at the
moment living in the one -bed seat? Oh, yes, there are. There are two.
Only we get a lot of people in here, you know, with fictitious names and funny
occupations. You've got to be ever so careful.
Oh, yes, yes. Well, I've got them all down here, you see. All right, then.
have all their full names then. Who is the first then?
Junior. Junior.
He's the youngest, is he? No, no, that's his name, Junior.
Oh, yes. Well, what's his first name?
Tammy, well, Tammy.
Tammy Junior, yes. Is that his full name? No, no, he's got a middle name.
David.
Sammy Davis, Jr.? What, Sammy Davis, Jr. wants a council house?
Well, a flat will do.
Tell me, what's he like?
Oh, he's a very tall blonde bloke with black hair.
Doesn't tap dance, does he? No, no, no, no, no, no. He wouldn't be any trouble.
Stuart.
Surname?
How do you mean?
Surname, you know, like, you know, Granger. Stuart Granger, for example.
yes, that's it, yes, yes.
Guess what? That's his name, yes.
What, you're telling me his name's Stuart Granger? Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
not a film star, no. No, he's just playing Stuart.
Oh, yeah, Rob Stuart.
Now, see, what's his occupation?
Singer. Ah, singer.
Sewing machines. He repairs them.
Next. Taylor.
Taylor.
First name?
George. Oh, it's a nice easy one this time, isn't it? George Taylor.
No, no, no, no. His name's not Taylor. He is a Taylor.
Oh.
All right. He's a Taylor and his name is George. Yes. George what?
Gershwin.
George Gershwin. That's right, yes.
Taylor.
Next. Howard.
Howard. Yes.
What's this going to be?
Frankie or Trevor or something else? No, no, no, no, no, no. Just Howard.
Howard. Howard Hughes.
You're telling me that's his real name? No, no, that's not his real name.
Well, why does he call himself Howard Hughes? Well, he wants people to think
he's rich, you see. Oh, I see. What is his real name? Getty. Paul Getty.
Don't tell me his occupation is oil.
Yes, it is. Yes, he drives a tanker.
Any more?
Only me.
My name is Irish, so I'd better spell it. All right. It's F -I -N -A -T -R -A.
That's pronounced Sinatra.
I know how to pronounce Sinatra, don't I? You see, I suppose your first name
begins with F, does it? Yes, it does, yes, it does, yes. Fred.
Fred Sinatra. Now, I'm very proud of that name, you know, because that is
of a very famous film star's name, that is. Oh, you don't say. I wonder who that
could be. Fred Astaire.
Fred Sinatra. Yes, all right, I see that. All right, Mr. Sinatra, we'll let
know as soon as a counterhouse becomes available. Oh, thanks very much. Who
should I contact, should there be any queries?
Me. Oh, what's your name? Hope.
Hope? Oh, Bob?
No.
Yes?
Give up. That's it. Give up, Hope? Yes, that's it.
My name is Hector Walnut Plates, but you can call me Sir Hector Walnut.
I often lose my place.
In fact, you can call me Sir Hector, as I've just had a sir -hectomy.
And I've lost my remaining walnut.
Now, I represent the Council of Knowledge, Enterprise and Universal
COCUP.
Now, what is COCUP for? Well, we exist to plan things. Our job is to approach
everyday objects and institutions that are working perfectly well.
and completely redesign them.
This keeps millions of otherwise useless people in a job, and you, the public,
benefit.
Here, for example, over here, is our new experimental traffic system for London.
Now, Oxford Street here, Oxford Street will be one way northwards, Downing
Street will be one way southwards, and Upping Street will be two ways
Heathrow will become Rottenrow, which should cause quite a stink.
However, that will be dealt with when Gatwick becomes Airwick.
mean, of course, that all air traffic will be tremendously well stacked.
Speaking of tremendously well stacked, here is a tourist map of my secretary,
Miss Wanda Knightley, showing the main points of interest.
She only knows one way southwards and 64 ways east to west.
Well, back to the drawing board.
Ah, back to the drawing board. That's 65 ways. I'd forgotten that one.
have decided that we get more efficiency if we link up certain pairs of
institutions. For instance, Guy's Hospital will join up with the Dolls
to form Guys and Dolls.
Kensington Evening Institute will join Mincing Lane for an after -eight mince.
And St Thomas's will join St John the Divine to make a divine John Thomas.
Now, we haven't reorganised the counties for at least a year, so we're going to
have another crack at them.
Now then, for instance, this...
I'm
sorry, I've been rather overworking lately.
Now, Yorkshire... Yorkshire... Yorkshire will join Cornwall to form Corkshire
and Yornwall.
join Dorset to make Dented Corset.
And finally, Flint and Bucks will get together to make one county called
Naturally Blint.
Well, I hear you say that's all very little and large, but what are we chaps
Coker going to do about architecture? Well, let me unveil some of our latest
plans. Now, we've had a lot of complaints about tower blocks.
People say they'd rather live in cottages, so here's our solution.
The ten -storey cottage.
Here's the privy in the garden.
And this.
The only trouble is you have to stand on the seat to pull the chain.
We also aim to make buildings fit in with their location. Here, for example,
the new sandwich town hall.
And here is the leak post office.
Oh, and here we have park.
Only part. I'm afraid of the Hampton Court, the AT office.
Unfortunately, we're not allowed to show you the rest of it.
No, no, it doesn't end there. It doesn't end there. Nothing is too small for our
attention. We are going to redesign all the familiar everyday objects.
Now, here, for instance, is our new unbreakable glass. Look at that.
We're now working on the unbreakable hammer.
of imaginative design.
Now, look at this revolutionary hair, this revolutionary telephone and carafe.
There you are. Ah, excuse me.
Hello?
Yes? Oh, I see, Wanda. Yes, thank you very much. Yes, that was Wanda, my
secretary, reminding me it's time to take my tablet. Yes.
On second thoughts, I'll take it later after I've had my leak.
Now, our boffins never rest.
from the task of improving your lives.
Now, over here, you will see a nice little beauty here. This is the very
word in mousetraps. Now, it costs less than ยฃ5 ,000 and consists of an
electronic field detector here and an ultra -sensitive photometer here and a
high -voltage laser gun there, you see. So the mouse comes in through this
little hole here and goes through there and under there and finds the bait,
which is a tiny piece of British rail pork pie, which, of course, it eats.
it dies, so you don't need the laser gun.
Unfortunately, the hole for the mouse is rather too small, but we are working on
that. We are redesigning the mouse.
That's what it's going to look like.
Sorry,
that's the mouse dropping.
There it is. If you have any suggestions, do call in anywhere you see
You can't miss it. It's 100 feet high. That's right. It's an almighty coke -up.
Good night.
The Manhattan Transfer.
On a little street in Singapore
With me beside a lotus
covered door A veil
of moonlight on a lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in
embrace
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of shalom.
With temple bells that guide me to the shore.
And then I hold you in my arms and love the way I love
before.
On a little street in Singapore.
Thank you.
This week's special offer is our own friend's butter, 48 pence per pound.
Yes, it is. I was just going over this grating near the ghost train when
suddenly my dress blew up.
What, exploded?
No, actually not exploded. No, the draft blew me straight right over my head.
Oh, that must have been very frightening.
Well, I think it was.
Nearly scared the pants off me.
Well, I thought I might be recognised.
Who would recognise you to hear your dress over your head?
Except that's a Coleman.
I wonder where it come from.
Oh, it got in the sale.
No, no, not the dressing.
Oh, the drama. They always have that sort of thing at fun fairs, don't they?
It's supposed to add to the jollity, isn't it? You ought to take George
Mark came going.
Wish this queue would get going, dear. It's awfully slow. It's more than
tedious. I'm very worried, you know, dear, about George's liver.
Oh, dear. Has he been up the doctors with it?
No, it's in the oven.
Let George go, dear, in bed.
Same old trouble.
Laziness. No, his stomach, dear.
Somebody told him you can die of indigestion. Oh, dear.
I bet that put the wind up him.
I'll keep him well out of the way until he blows over.
Go on, we're going. Oh, yes.
I wonder if we're in the right queue. You know what we ought to have done,
Yes, brought sandwiches.
No, we ought to have got George and Sid to do the shopping for us, dear. Yes,
why can't they be like other men? Why can't they be that nice man like that,
look, with a beard? Look at him. He was clean -shaven when he came in.
You know... What Sid said to me one day when I asked him to do a little bit of
shopping. Do you know what he said to me?
Aerosols. Well, you're very close.
No, dear, I've got to get an aerosol for George Payne, you know, something.
Oh, have you? Oh, yes. You sound a bit off -centre, dear.
No, not off -centre. He's just messing about with the legs of the cyborg, you
know, touching them up and things. Oh, dear.
Sounds a bit off -centre to me.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear, I hope you're not going to be long here, dear. Why? I want to go
somewhere. Oh, do you? For your holidays. What are you thinking of this
You're on the holidays, dear. Now, I want to be the lady. Is there a place
Oh. Oh, well, there's the commissar. Let's ask him.
Excuse me. Oh, that's good. Oh.
Is there a place in here, dear? Of course there is, madam.
On the fish counter.
Give me that. Can't boil you there.
No, we don't mean that. I mean, we want to be... Is there a ladies, do you know?
Oh, well, it's quite a queue, love.
How big is it?
Normal size, sixth one.
I hope you're giving paps off.
You've all found I'm going to spend a penny.
This queue, dear, where is it?
You're in it.
Oh, dear.
I don't even want to go.
Yeah, all right, then.
Oh, cool. Come in. What's the matter with you? Come in.
How are you, George?
Oh, I'm not so well.
I've got a whole limp of wobbly.
Yeah, Ede was telling me, yeah. Have you, uh... Have you seen my crash
George? Your crash helmet?
Yeah, I must have left it here when I came to visit you earlier on today.
Is that all you can think about, your crash helmet, when your poor old mate's
his last knockings? Well, that crash helmet... cost me ten pounds, didn't it?
You know that?
Oh, very worried, Sid. I mean, the doctor said it's only indigestion, but I
don't believe that. I believe it's more than that. I've got pains.
Burning pains all across me chest and belly.
Well, maybe it's worms.
Worms? Not too loud.
A lot of fishermen live round here.
Is this what the doctors give you, then? Yeah.
Oh, must be good. It tastes horrible.
That's because you're supposed to rub it on.
It says there, look, it says there external, doesn't it? That is Latin for
outside, that is.
You've seen it in the pictures, haven't you, up behind the jets there?
Yeah, yeah.
It's got quite a nice aftertaste, as a matter of fact. Has it?
I'll rub some on for you. What you probably could do with, you know, a bit
rest, that's what you could probably do. Yeah, yeah. I wish I had a job, but I
could have gone sick.
Listen, what's these marks there?
They're birthmarks.
Look like beer stains to me.
Of course they are, they're birthmarks.
Well, how long have you had them then? Since I was born, you twit.
Right, here, they're coming off.
Are they?
Here, that's an omen, that is. That's the body's way of telling you it's all
over, that is.
I reckon you've got the same as that Alf Pierce had, you know, all that weak and
burning, what's -his -name, wobbly thing, you know. Really? Who's Alf
Alf Pierce, down the pub.
With a dog.
Stuttered.
Dog stuttered?
No, Alf Pierce stuttered, didn't he? Only when he talked like, you know.
You must remember, you chipped in with his funeral fund, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
Funeral?
Did he die then?
Well, I hope so. We got him in a nice reef and everything.
What's the matter? Are you taking a turn for the worse, George? Yes, this is it,
isn't it?
It's the end of the road for me, this is.
I should never come out of this bed.
Listen, I don't want to hear you talk like that. There's nothing wrong with
You're fit as a fiddle. You're strong as a proverbial watch name ox. You are.
Now, listen, I'll see you later. I'm off down the road.
Where are you going, then? I'm going to put my black suit in the cleaners. Oh,
go bloody... Oh, here's my... Here's my... Here's my crash helmet down here.
Oh, that's what it is. I thought I'd never seen one.
I thought it was a new idea to have straps on them like that.
There's a bottle of beer on your side of the bed.
What's that doing there?
Well, at the moment, it's lying inside, pouring into your slippers. Oh, my.
My one last little luxury, that's all.
Here, I'll tell you something, Sid. See that coat hanging on the door? Yeah.
That's yours.
No, it's yours. No.
I mean, when I'm taken from you, I would like you to have it.
Oh, no, I couldn't do that. Oh, go on, go on. That would make me very happy. Go
on now, let's see you. Let's see you try it out. Go on, try it on.
You can't half smell the quality, can't you, eh?
I'm from Savile Road, that is.
Savile Road, you mean? No, no, Savile Road, Brixton.
Yeah, it's perfect, look at that, yeah.
No, I think it's a bit in the roomy side, ain't it, George? A little bit.
I suppose it is. I can't understand that, because it was supposed to be made
measure, you know.
Yeah, but this is probably measured in inches. I'm centigrade now.
Here,
I've got one request of you, Sidney.
When I go, I want to go in a Rolls Royce. Yeah.
I ain't never been in a Rolls Royce. No, well, nor have I been in a Rolls Royce,
George. Well, there we are. You see, that'll be the first time for both of
won't it?
And the last time for one of us. Oh.
I tell you what, when poor old Ralph Pearce was put down, he only had a kind
station wagon kind of thing. Yeah.
When he went, was it quick?
Oh, no, I only travelled about five miles an hour.
And when he passed by on the other side, I mean, was he quick? Did he suffer at
all? Oh, no, he was here one minute, gone the next.
I mean, he was down in High Street, stepped off the pavement, ambulance came
round the corner, bosh, that was it, all over.
Ambulance? Yeah, it's been a lot, really, being knocked down by an
Oh, blimey, you've been sitting here watching me die, haven't you? What's the
matter? Take that coat off for a start.
You're feeling better, then? Of course I'm feeling better. Now I know he didn't
die of a stomach pain.
Oh, it didn't die of stomach pain. The stomach pain says years ago and it works
out then. Six pints of brown ale, he was right as rain.
Where are you off to then? I'm down at the pub to get me medicine. Come in. Oh,
yeah, all right. Come on.
Rupert Baird?
Yes, that's correct. That's me.
I wonder, could I have a word? I'm from the BBC.
I'm on the team of Nationwide. The story is up there. Although your name is
Rupert Baird, you're really Rupert Baird.
Well, there we are. My secret's out. I'm glad for all our sakes. Come, let's sit
down. The weather's fine. We'll have some tea and cake.
my mummy's name was Bear, she could have called me Freddy.
She didn't want a girl or boy. She was hoping for a teddy.
So while she was expecting me, her darling little Bruin, she just sat
Rupert's books and drinking Mother's Ruin.
I see. So when you came along, she didn't think it funny to bring you up as
Rupert Bear. By no means past the honey.
She dressed me in a yellow scarf and trousers with big checks. She taught me
to speak in rhyme and not to mention sex.
When we played Soldiers on the Lawn, instead of Colonel Bogey, Teddy Bear's
Picnic was our tune. You ask my brother, Yogi.
A brother? Oh, I didn't know.
Oh, yes, in fact, I've two.
One's hardly out of nappies. And what do you call him? Pooh.
My sister's 20, and she's become more civilized, you'll find.
I see. A sort of girl in front, but with a bear behind.
Her name is Sheba, and she wears a fur coat, sleek and black. And when she
she has been known to break a fellow's back.
But what of you? Do you ever dream of a life more rich and fruity? Of lying on
some bearskin rug with some young bearskin beauty?
Oh, no, I'm a good boy, and I do what Mummy says I should.
I eat my greens, and I avoid the fairies in the wood.
Tell me, Rupert, do you have a special sort of mother to bring you up this way?
Why, no, she's just like any other, but like all mummies and their kids, she's
proud as proud can be. Come, let's go inside and meet her, if you've finished
your tea.
Oh, here she comes. I've had my tea and got a nice full tummy. This man's from
Nationwide, and he's had all the honey, mummy.
The joke I'm about to tell you tonight, I can say with complete confidence, is
rather priceless.
Now, I can say that, you know, because we had it valued by Arthur Negus just
before we came on.
He put it in early 16th century and possibly one of a pair.
The other one is Bernard Manning's act.
No, that's not true.
No, it's not true. I'll be honest.
This joke was actually told to me just after lunch today by our producer.
as he's being carried down from the bar.
Incidentally, I'm not going to, I'm making a little rule for myself, I'm not
going to make any unkind remarks about our producer's drinking anymore.
Because I don't think you should mock a man's religion.
And he's rather a sad history in his family.
He's had family troubles through drinking.
I mean, his father, for example, used to suffer from an awful lot of hangovers,
and he was put on a course of Alka -Seltzer tablets for six years.
12 tablets every day for six years.
One day he jumped into the bath and dissolved.
Now, having been told this joke at somewhat short notice, I haven't
time to try it out yet on the camera crew. It's a BBC rule that before you're
allowed to do a story on television, you have to tell it to the cameraman first
of all, you see.
And if one of them laughs, you have to go away and clean it up.
It's like being back at school, really, all the rules and regulations, you know.
Anyway, this story tonight is a little football story, actually, so it's rather
nice because it'll appeal to soccer enthusiasts and Fulham supporters alike.
It concerns.
It concerns.
It's a little bit too near Shepard's Bush for that joke, I thought.
Oh, sorry, excuse me if I seem a little... I'm moving uneasy on this
tonight, but...
I'm a bit frightened that it might give way under the weight because, well, I've
had this, you may have noticed, I've had this for 50 shows now and the legs are
starting to crack around the back here. And I decided it was time, you know, for
a new chair. So I went up to see the BBC's head of comedy.
Well, they call him the head of comedy, actually. It's a man who sits behind a
desk all day long with a false nose on.
Once a month, he calls all the top producers into his office, you know.
watch his bow tie spin round.
A little morale booster, I suppose.
So anyway, I went to see him the other day, and he said to me, he said, Archie?
He said, Archie?
No, I forgot to tell you, he still thinks, you know, I'm Archie Andrews.
It's a little white lie I had to tell him after last year's Christmas party.
And he caught me sitting on his secretary's knee with a hand up the back
shirt. He said, if you want a new chair, you have to put in a claim to the
director general.
So I did what he said. I wrote to the director general about the chair being
cracked. And the following day, he sent me a tube of glue together with a memo
which reads, it says, from the DJ.
That's what they call the director general. He likes to call himself that,
DJ.
Dear Mr. Corbett, he said, read your complaint about the cracked chair.
Please contact our props department, and they will tell you where to stick it.
Now, I thought that was pretty generous under the circumstances.
And as I say, this story... I shan't linger on that very long.
Careful where I put the glue.
As I say, this story is about...
It's about football, and it takes place in the jungle, which is rather
interesting. There's a bunch of insects, and a few of the friends have
challenged the elephants to a game of football. And naturally, everyone has
along to watch. You know, the local cannibals are all sitting there on the
touchline, eating their portions of Kentucky Fried Missionary.
And the gorillas are all lumbering around with the scarves tied to their
and out come the...
Out come the elephants and the insects, and the match begins. Now, it's a little
bit of a dirty game, to be honest, because after only 20 minutes, the
have been booked for fouling three players.
Two spectators and 75 % of the pitch.
And the insects, they just can't, the insects just can't find the form. Well,
they've all been out the night before sampling the local talent, chatting up
loose cockroaches and having a naughty time at the Beehive of Ill Repute where
they got stung for ten quid a time.
They can't. Well, I'm sorry. They can't get it together at all. By half -time,
the elephants are leading 146 -0. At the start of the second half, the insects
make a substitution.
They take off rather a slow snail at left wing and put on a centipede.
Well, the match begins again, and after a few minutes, the insects are awarded a
free kick. The elephants are all standing there, bunched together, you
a wall with the trunks between their legs.
The centipede takes the kick, slices them all right through into the back of
net. Well, from then on, the tide completely turns.
The centipede just keeps scoring and scoring and scoring. All the other
go wild. They're cheering, clapping their mandibles together and wiping
teeth.
Eventually, the final whistle will go, and the insects are won by 630 goals to
141. Afterwards, in the changing room, the elephant's captain comes over to the
blue bottle, who's the captain of the insects, and he says, What I can't
understand is why you didn't play the centipede on the left wing in the first
half. The blue bottle said, Well, you see, as a matter of fact, it takes him
whole of the first half to get his boots on.
Bringing in the hardest, bringing in the cheese, bringing in the barley to the
mill.
Oh, the bats are in the belfry and the woodworm in the eaves. It's harvest time
I've had up on the hill.
The vestry's full of veggies and his pants is in the pews. There's lots and
of pippins getting pipped.
And old Dr. Digby's dealing with a rather nasty bruise where the curate
his collies in the crib.
There's lots of lovely tourists who come from far and wide. Quite old English
hamlets fit the bill.
We've led them under which wood and rooked them on the side. We've done them
down and had them on the hill.
We've done them down and had them on the hill.
