Good evening. It's lovely to be back with you once again, isn't it, Ronnie?
Indeed it is. And in a packed programme tonight, we shall be meeting the
brilliant top civil servant who's got his ear to the ground, his nose to the
grindstone, his shoulder to the wheel, his eye on the clock, his hand in the
till, his back to the wall, his foot in the door and his finger on the button.
And we'll be asking him how he does his flies up.
We'll also be hearing about the explorer, who's also a bit of a
and got lost in the back of his own beyond.
But first, the news. The search for Twilton Gumboots, Britain's most
criminal, will be getting underway very shortly when police have closed their
eyes and counted up to 100.
Her Majesty the Queen had a heavy cold today and cancelled a royal walkabout.
She stayed in and read the telephone directory instead.
And it's been a sad day for Walton Shrubs, the lonely bachelor who joined a
computer dating agency because he couldn't chat up girls.
Now he's discovered he can't fill in forms either.
Widespread concern was being voiced in the House of Commons today about
inadequate height of the furniture.
This follows an incident on Monday when a minister ran into the House and tabled
his amendments.
And at the exhibition of motorway art, which opened at the Hayward Gallery this
morning, an oil painting of the Drive Slowly sign was so realistic that 59
people completely ignored it.
Finally, fears that standards are dropping at the annual cattle show were
confirmed today when the best of breed prize was won by a tin of oxtail soup.
And now a sketch featuring Mr. Ronnie Corbett, whose wife tries not to bring
the beast in him because she's afraid of mice.
Hello, Jack.
Hello.
Monte Carlo Robinson.
Good heavens, Monte Carlo.
Haven't seen you for ages. I'll join you in a minute. Yes.
Monte Carlo.
It's a damn funny name, isn't it?
Yes, it was all the rage in those days, you know. One named one's child after
the place he or she was, in fact, conceived, as it were.
Apparently, the Robinsons had a cracking good time in Monte Carlo.
Hence, he is called Monte Carlo.
Of course, of course. I remember. I know his younger brother.
Really? What's he called? He's called Monte Carlo, isn't he? They must have
there every year.
Probably, probably.
Yeah. Hello, Orchard.
Hello, Nancy.
Nancy? He was actually conceived in North Sea. Ah, I see.
The car broke down on the way to Monte Carlo.
He's since been anglicized. Has he?
I mean, and he's now called... He's now called Nancy.
Yes. Well, of course, the way cars break down nowadays, there must be Nancy boys
everywhere.
Yeah. Hello there, old chap.
Hello, Ramsgate.
Ramsgate? Are you a Ramsgate fan, Shaw?
Obviously, your parents couldn't even wait till they got on the ferry.
Tell me, Henshaw, you're not named after the place you were... Oh, no, no,
absolutely not, certainly not, certainly not. A letter, Mr.
Fanshawe. Thank you, Romford.
I say, this isn't for me, this is for you, Henshaw. What? Not Fanshawe, this
for you.
What terrible writing. What is that Christian name? Never mind that, never
that. Be patient, my dear.
Equality. Now, the government white paper on the equal society was published
today. Its main provisions are as follows. From April the 1st, 1981,
must be of equal height.
This height will be three foot above the saloon bar for men and two foot under
the hairdryer for women.
Anyone found shorter than the equal height will be looked down upon.
He will then be sent to a government height -inducing camp where he will
in a barrel of manure until he's tall enough to step out without catching
anything on the rusty nail at the top.
must also be of equal weight. This weight, everyone, I should say, must be
equal weight. This weight to be established as quite heavy for men and
so heavy for women.
Except during pregnancy, of course, when women will be permitted a little more.
Men, however, will not be permitted anything at all.
Now, anyone below equal weight will be forcibly fed with chocolate biscuits
through the usual channels.
And will receive a silicone injection in the event, or in the arm.
woman thinks silicone is silly, she can have cortisone instead.
If a man has cortisone, he should be more careful with his... All
people must also be of equal colour. There will be a choice of complexion,
peaches and cream, salmon and shrimp, or blackberry and custard.
No one will be allowed to be more than one colour, except Chinese communists,
who will be both red and yellow.
Chinese Communist honeymoon couples, who will be red, yellow, and green, and
Chinese Communist honeymoon couples who didn't make out, who will be red,
yellow, green, and blue.
Anyone found to be red, yellow, green, black, and blue will be deemed to be a
Chinese Communist honeymoon couple who did make out.
Now, I would like to show you a diagram. I would like to, but I can't, as Mrs.
Whitehouse might complain.
But I'll tell you about it. As from 1985, everyone will be of equal shape.
Except, of course, that women will have two of these and one of those.
And men will have one of these and two of those.
If any man is found to have two of these, he will be declared a woman,
he has one of those or not.
Now, if a man has got one of these but only one of those, he will get a
and two of those, he won't get a pension, but he will get attention.
Believe you me, any man found with three of those will be ostracized.
Which is bad news for pawnbrokers.
Excuse me.
Hello. Oh, hello, Mrs. Whitehouse. You what?
You insist on the viewers being all these, these and those?
Very well, very well.
There we are.
Disgusting, isn't it, but true to life.
Now, noses.
Noses. There will be a choice of noses, Roman aquiline or hooked turnip. Now,
the number of nostrils will remain two, although there will be a choice, of
course, of straight or flared.
Members of the public will be allowed to make their choice in their own time,
but the House of Commons is to have a special session when members can all
their noses together.
Finally, in future, all children must be born equally. That is, on October 1st
each year. This will be known as Labour Day.
To achieve this objective, all television transmissions during the week
December the 23rd will close down at nine o 'clock when everyone will have an
early night.
Very happy just before Christmas to you all. Good night.
Dr. Wilson sent my Charlie to see one of them specialists.
Oh, which one was that?
You know, one of them sexologists.
I don't know if you want to send him there for.
Well, it's a strange thing, but he said every time he sneezes, he fancies a bit
of slap and tickle.
Chases me all over the house.
So what did the specialist say then?
Well, he told him to stop.
What, fancying you?
No, taking snuff.
Will you welcome, please, our guest this week, Kiki Hood.
There he goes.
To all the born and fair boys, Nigel, oh, Nigel.
Yeah, Saturday night, boys.
But he don't want to fight no one.
Determine this, Nigel, to get on and do well.
He laughs along and won't end up with nothing.
Surviving is something to learn to do well.
Repetition is so strong.
He'll never let you down.
He's a midnight flyer straight down the line.
He'll look you in the eye at any time.
He's a midnight flyer you all want to be.
He's better than the rest more than you'll ever be.
I told you he's running somewhere new. They say he always gets attention.
What's up? What's the problem?
Everybody knows them guys who eat the business.
And they're the place that'll come to you.
Ain't a race, ain't a class.
He's a midnight choir straight down the line.
Don't laugh, Nigel. Ask him where he's been to and he'll tell you where to go.
Tired of that, Nigel.
No one's pleased to ask questions.
He believes everyone should be.
...great ports of the world, arteries through which crime can spread its ugly
tentacles ever wider as each year passes.
Piggy Malone, if not the greatest detective in the world, then certainly
the largest, and Charlie Farley, even less great and certainly a lot less
were no stranger to world crime, as their past records show.
Piggy's expertise in the case of the Bombay Duck is still talked about in
takeaways, The Length and Dreadful End of It.
And Charlie Farley dealt with the phantom of the French pan as only he
from the inside.
In Marseille, city of sin, neither of our two heroes managed to find any.
Discovering the secret formula on the villainous's undergarments came pretty
close to it.
But on a certain muggy April morning in northwest London, the fat detective's
thoughts were on more mundane matters.
Ah, morning, G.
How's it going?
Not too bad. I've only just started, as a matter of fact.
I decided to paint it the same colour again, you know.
Why? When I found this paint down the cellar, you know, left over from last
year, I thought, well, I might as well, you know, if it runs out, won't notice
as much, you know.
Is that my apron you were wearing there? Yeah, the one you got for Christmas.
You don't mind, do you? No, it looks silly on me.
Well, as a matter of fact, it looks a little bit silly on you.
My mouth is like the Caligari Desert.
Oh, Caligari, gee.
Caligari was that mad doctor who starred in the film. You know, the cabinet of
Dr. Caligari. But that box full of nasty, creepy, crawly things.
Yeah, well, the inside of my mouth is like that.
I thought you were supposed to be on a diet, eh?
I mean, Elsie's made a salad for your lunch, you know. Elsie? Yeah.
I think I'll have it now. Where's Elsie? Elsie!
All the time. I only die at mealtime, see?
Over the downstairs door. Might be a case. I'm going to go down and answer
Will you carry on with the painting, Elsie? Otherwise, you know, when it
these real nasty marks, you know... I'm going shopping in a minute for your
salad. I've ordered some peppers.
Can I bring one?
Yes, very nice.
They're only red ones that haven't ripened.
I don't blame him.
Filthy old beggar outside.
Says he's starving.
So am I. Got any biscuits, Elsie? What about your diet?
Nah, it's not for two hours yet. Come on.
Look, he hasn't eaten for three days.
Look, I haven't got any money.
It's not money that's bothering him. The reason he hasn't eaten for three days
is he's broken his false teeth. His what?
He's broken his false teeth and wondering if we've got any super glue.
Oh, yeah, he's sniffing that, I shouldn't wonder. He wants to be careful
that. If you accidentally sit down on that sort of stuff, that is grounds for
divorce, you know.
He's on the level, all right. Look, there you are. There they are there.
Oh, dear.
How do we know there is? Well, he took them out of his mouth when I was
there to polish them and they... What else did he say? Well, after he'd taken
his teeth out, I couldn't make out what he was on about.
I'll tell you what we'll do.
We'll get him up here, see if they fit him.
That's a very good idea, Chip. Do you mind if I slip out of this?
Only that's getting some very, very funny looks. You know, from the milkman.
That'll have to do for now.
That's made me behind.
That's what? That's put me behind on me ledger.
You said it was a man, Charlie.
I beg your pardon? You said it was a filthy old beggar with no teeth.
No teeth. This is Mrs.
Bumstead. She's a case.
I can see that.
Have a go, Mrs. Hampstead. Sit down.
Bumstead. Oh, well, whatever.
Put it down there.
Madam, what can we in the North West London Detective and Surveillance Bureau
for you?
What? It's the new name. The North West London Detective and Surveillance
Bureau. Have you got the card printed?
That's good.
How many of these have you had done? Two.
One each.
Where am I supposed to keep this? Down me trouser leg or what?
Mr. Maguire, there is no time to lose.
The name is Malone, Mrs. Bedstead.
Bumstead. Exactly.
Please, let me explain my dilemma.
I have a large ensemble and it's disappearing fast.
Oh, that's funny. The chief's going on a diet today and all that.
Ensemble? Music, you mean?
Precisely. A ladies' orchestra?
Oh, like the Ivy Benson band, you mean?
Hardly. We play light classical.
And, of course, some genteel dance music for the captain when he has his parties
aboard. Captain?
Aboard? Then this means it's a ladies' orchestra on a ship.
You are remarkably quick on the uptake, my good sir.
I'm surprising myself a bit this morning.
You say disappearing they are, then, to us?
Well, just vanishing one by one.
I started off with 16.
Now I'm down to 10.
The last one to go was my old old saxophonist.
A wonderful girl, devoted to her work.
Tax mad she was.
Lived for her instruments.
That's what I thought you said.
Something sinister is happening.
Frankly, I suspect white slavers.
Chinamen.
Chinamen are yellow, not white.
The girls they abduct are white. The actual slavers can be any colour, you
Chinamen, eh? This gives it a sort of Far Eastern flavour then, doesn't it?
are these girls the sort of girls who would interest white slavers?
Well, of course.
All well -educated.
And none of them are older than me.
Well, they wouldn't have to be, wouldn't they?
I mean, they wouldn't have to be well -educated. On the other hand, of course,
suppose it wouldn't matter at all, would it?
No, I mean, just because a girl plays a cello doesn't mean she's no good at
anything else.
Precisely. In fact, with that sort of a training, she would be very well
equipped to, well, to ride a motorbike, for instance.
Please, gentlemen, won't you help me?
The ship is bound for Madeira, so it ought to be quite a pleasant cruise.
We don't know Madeira, do we? No. I know their cake very well.
Your usual fee, of course.
All expenses paid?
Certainly.
Well, before we decide, have we got time to consider it?
As you wish.
I've already considered it. So have I.
We'll do it.
Splendid. I'll send the car around for you at two o 'clock. The boat sails this
afternoon. We'll be there.
Splendid. My girls will be most grateful.
And I shall be delighted to welcome you to my happy circle.
Come on, let's go.
You see, only ten left.
My woodwind section is very much affected.
Ten? I've only seen nine. Look, there's another one gone there.
Why, heavens, Julia's gone, the trombonist.
That knocked me right back on my brass as well.
Best slide trombonist around.
Perhaps she just slid out for the loo.
Nonsense. She wouldn't go to the lavatory in the middle of an English
garden.
No, she's been kidnapped like the rest.
By now, she's probably in the back room of some dockside cafe.
Then we're about to sail. There's the signal.
And so the boat sets sail. And with it, our two befuddled heroes.
What will befall them on their voyage?
Who is the sinister blind man?
And what has happened to Mrs. Bumstead's woodwind section?
Don't miss next week's exciting episode of Band of Slaves.
Hello, Simon.
Hello, Gerald here.
Hello, Doris. Doris, it's me, Walter.
How are you, old man?
All right, thanks.
Listen, Simon, I had to ring you up to find out how you got on with that
fabulous new girl last night.
Not too bad. There were one or two things I couldn't quite get hold of.
Oh, yes. Yes, I know the kind of girl, yes.
Where did you take her? Somewhere exotic?
Sainsbury's.
Bianca Jagger goes there, doesn't she?
I think the best thing I can do, dear, is to go through the list with you.
Yes, yes, that's a good idea. So what was she like? I mean, what sort of girl?
A French bred.
Oh, yes.
Bloomers too large.
Well, kept slipping down, you mean.
Oh, well, if you will go ice skating, you will keep slipping down, won't you?
Yes. And rolls to 20p.
She doesn't.
What did you say her name was?
Hovis.
I think I know her.
Isn't she pregnant at the moment, though?
No, no, no current bonds, dear.
No, no, they've run out.
A tin of something for the cat.
This all sounds very fishy to me, Oldsport.
Very fishy indeed. Did you say her parents were in oil?
Yes, the Pilchards.
She sounds a right little raver. I don't know how she had the energy.
She said the milkman hadn't been round yet.
That would explain it, of course. What did you do?
I had to get sterilised.
Good God.
To be on the safe side, I put them in the fridge when I get back.
Well, rather you than me, old Joe.
Now, er... Where was I?
So, she took you home and gave you a nightcap, did she? Yes, yes, dear.
What sort?
What? That sounds a bit of a poofy drink, old chap.
Well, it's all she had, fairy liquid.
Oh, I see, I see. She had the bitter lemon and you had something stronger.
Yes, three tins of curry powder.
Yes, just to keep you going, eh?
You lucky devil, I wish I'd been there. What sort of perfume was she wearing?
Something really exotic.
Salt and vinegar.
And smoky bacon.
Making a pig of herself, was she?
Oh, sorry, that was a mistake, dear.
She was what? Wearing a cross -your -heart bra?
I thought it said Oxo.
Oh, that's easy.
So you naturally took the opportunity of having a quick... Butchers, yes, dear,
yes. Yes, I didn't forget the steaks.
You saw her do what to the bra?
Fill it.
With two portions of sirloin.
Yes, I did make sure they were tender, dear, yes.
So, I see you had her sitting there, nicely on the boil.
Then what did you do?
I went across the road for some apples.
That's all you need, isn't it? I mean, that is all you need. A dog leaping up
into your lap.
Yes, the crunchy sort.
With the yellow skin, you know. A golden retriever. Golden delicious.
I bet he bites people, doesn't he? And cocks his pippins.
Yes, I'm sure. What a terrible thing to happen. So, what exactly did you say?
My three minutes is up. I'll have to go, dear.
That's about all you could say, I suppose.
Listen, you haven't told me yet, Simon, what this girl does for a living.
What? She what?
She works at the same, Riz. Oh, God, your champagne wants to go.
That's for after you, later.
I tell you, Simon, is this girl about six foot tall, blonde, big blue eyes and
other things to match?
I'm going to be late.
I've got a fair bit to see to.
I should forget it all, Simon. I'm sorry, old sport, you've been short
My little basket.
Do you know anything that prevents baldness?
Only hair.
You've gone balding, lad. No, me husband. It's all falling out.
Where, all over?
Yeah, all over the Shag Park carpet.
Since when have you had Shag Park carpet?
Ever since Harry's hair started falling off.
You Harry always had nice, wavy hair.
Yeah, well, it's waving goodbye now.
His is growing very bushy elsewhere.
I'll get near him.
It's ruining our love life.
Well, since he's grown this beard, he kisses me through a straw.
Here is a very funny story
about a man who lives in Dagenham.
It's not very funny so far, is it?
And I speak with...
The voice of experience, because I have just recently moved out of a house in
Dagenham. Well, that place, it was too cramped for comfort.
Every time the morning paper arrived, I went flying out the back window.
And I have to be honest, it was something of a rough neighbourhood.
We had to put a crook lock on the cat.
I remember once the lady next door, a lady next door once held a Tupperware
party, and all police leave was cancelled.
In fact, the crime rate was so high, there was a six -month waiting list to
mugged.
The neighbourhood, you can laugh, the neighbourhood was so tough that John
was our Avon lady.
Now, fortunately, our new home is much nicer. I mean, I have to admit, the
garden is a little bit overgrown. My wife was hanging out some washing
and three Japanese soldiers came out and surrendered.
At the moment, she is unbelievably thin.
With the tongue out, she looks like a zip.
On Saturday, I decided to give her a hand with the housework, and that's
made my big mistake.
There I was in the kitchen, washing a few clothes out, and I fell into the
tumble dryer.
My two young children came in and thought they were watching Magic
Luckily, I had my wits about me.
I did three minutes of my cabaret act and they got up and switched off.
Understandably, I was still rather shaken the next day and I went to see
producer of the show, you know, in the Oval Office.
And as I walked in, he was sitting behind the desk arranging a bunch of
For a special he's doing with the Osmonds.
He put the phone down, he came over to me, he said to me, what are you going to
do for your little chatty poos tonight, lovey?
I don't do that voice too often, I might get to like it.
I said, well, actually, lovey, I'm going to do the one about the chap from
Dagenham, which I happen to overhear in the BBC canteen at lunchtime, if you
don't mind. I don't usually go to the BBC canteen today, but it's a special
occasion, you know. They were presenting one of the sausage rolls, the Gold
Watch.
I overheard...
These two fellas talking.
Now, one of them I knew quite well, the sort of bloke who's always trying to
make a mountain out of a molehill, and Marty Cain's costume designer.
The other one was a producer, as a matter of fact, with BBC Scotland.
Last I heard, he was due to make a new series about arts in Glasgow called
Stitch That Jimmy.
Apparently, apparently it never came off. The story goes, to be honest, that
annoyed Paul Daniels in the bar one day and spent three weeks inside a matchbox.
This was the joke they were telling about a chap who lives in Dagenham. Now,
don't ask me why he lives in Dagenham.
They're now as queer as folk, as I always remember my Uncle Doris telling
Shortly before he was cashiered from the Wrens.
The important thing is...
that he is flying this plane in a solo flight round the world, next to which
Dagenham bit is all a bit irrelevant, or irrelevant, or better still,
irrelevant. So off he goes on this solo flight in his
lightweight Moulinex turboprop, and as luck would have it, a freak wind...
It blows him off course, and he has to make a forced landing.
Excuse me laughing, but I've heard it, you see. Has to make a slap bang in the
middle of the African jungle.
Blow it, he says.
What was that effect?
Now I'm stranded. No food, no water supplies. Thank God I brought some
pouches. At that moment, there is a rustle in the bushes, you see.
And from out of the undergrowth steps this seven -foot -tall African native.
bone through the nose, shrunken heads hanging around his neck.
I think he was from Dagenham as well.
Carrying his hand, a rude spear, which we won't dwell on.
Naturally, the chap is just about to start saying his prayers when the native
speaks to him, seven foot tall native, says, pardon me, my good man, but I... I
can't help noticing that you...
seemed to be in some distress.
I was therefore wondering whether I might perchance be of any
assistance to you.
The chap said, well, if he's very kind, he said, not at all, he said, I'm only
too happy to offer it.
Doesn't half take it out of you.
In whatever way you desire.
Well, at this point, the chap's curiosity gets the better of him. He
excuse me for asking this. He said, but here we are in the middle of the jungle.
How is it you speak such immaculate English?
Well, the seven foot tall native said, well, he said, as a matter of fact, sir,
I picked it up on shortwave radio.
We are twice as greedy as all our chums. I take philosophy
as it comes.
I'm good at spelling and doing some.
I'm terribly bright and frequently tight on Saturday night.
Well, in the Latin and Greek, are we?
I got a Master of Arts degree.
I got a buttercup cookie.
And now I'm getting ten out of ten for filling his pen.
I saw me tutor.
What did he say?
If you don't work for your B .S .C., you'll end up with B .A.
Oxford and working wonders there.
I'm reading trigonometry and I'm reading Rupert Bear.
At breakfast time the table's laid by rows of buxom serving maids who's over
large and underpaid and helps the students cram. Not Friday night.
She burnt her boats on the breakfast toast, all because of a midnight raid
several undergrads who stayed for a go at her Oxford marmalade. And now she's
the jam.
Last Wednesday night I saw the dean cast off his gown of bombazine and in the
buff the daft old queen went dancing down the high.
And every passerby could see his BTM and his PhD.
And when I asked him where he'd been, he answered with a word obscene, which in
the Greek I took to mean, go forth and multiply.
In Bale, Oriel, Corpus and Harps, they knock off as soon as the bell goes. In
Wadham and Keeble, there's masters of arts, who don't know their arts from
elbows. St. Kitts is full of twits.
There's lots of swats at Merton, but for top... Mox, giggles and mox, give us a
gurgle, gurgle.
What a day for a picnic.
What a day for a do.
Cake and champagne when the party stops.
And Fred's well away with a couple of pies.
We said, by jingo, what fun.
He's got jam, spam, overcooked ham, and a hot cross bun.
Stirring up the jelly, Nelly, custard all complete.
Flustered in the belly, Nelly dropped it on my feet.
She's a peach and cream complexion, and she trifles with affection.
So I'll wear... my Mac and Welly. Welly, if you will be my sweet.
Taking tea with the girls are our varsity pals.
Doing parlor tricks charming and balmy.
There's Nick with a trick which he does with a brick, two eggs and a stick of
salami. There's Halgen on hearth, the divinity first, with a party trick even
unica. But he's hissed and he's booed as he stands in the nude.

Oh, the good times she's shown us when I got a bonus.
