...'and the next one right in here'.....Michael Miles.....'shall he open the box or take the money?'



When discovered in an untidy condition (with his willy out) on an airport bus, the policeman asked for his name he said


"Hughie Green"


On his next show Hughie started off by saying "this is the real Hughie Green folks"

Jimmy Clitheroe.


SimonM if The Clitheroe Kid is in the vicinity, what with his 'sit-upon' getting a regular tanning from his aggressive, if not vaguely abusive Scottish grandfather, then can can the Navy Lark not be far behind?


Leslie Phillips - 'Good morning, how are you'?

Ronnie Barker - 'I've been on the WT all morning, sir'

Leslie Phillips - 'I'm so sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon'

Ronnie Barker - 'That's the Wireless Transmitter, sir'


They did it every week, and age never diminished it so far as I was concerned.

Really.

I recall a pop group with a similar name in the mid nineteen hundred and eighty period.

The 'singer' would affect a headband sort of affair.

Were they from the North-East or thereabouts?

One can't be sure.

Poking fun using racial and cultural stereotypes. So Bernard Manning, Charlie Williams, Love Thy Neighbour, Rising Damp, On The Buses, It Aint Arf Hot Mum, The Black and White Minstrels etc etc... Sadly poking fun at some sterotypes still remain, eg, Irish, Polish, Scousers, Brummies, Aussies - though in a few years, maybe even these will be thought of as from another time....

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
