Blood test in the morning. They say they’ll just need a smear.
So I told ‘em "It may be just a smear to you mate, but that's life and death to some poor wretch!"

Mrs.C: Have you been having models up here, have there been naked women in my establishment?
: Of course there haven't. I can't afford 30 bob an hour! I did that from memory. That is women as I see them.
Mrs C:Oh! You poor man

I'm in another one of those "Oh Mike How Many Times Are You Going to Watch That Bloody Film ?" moods.

I have a very understanding wife.

[1996] Paul Merton in Galton and Simpson's... - "The Radio Ham", an amateur radio enthusiast spends his time exchanging useless information with boring people on a global basis. Suddenly, he picks up a real distress call and finds himself in a situation which he tries his best to keep for himself.

A remake of the classic from 1961 with Tony Hancock.

If you’ve got h-h-h-half an hour to spare, I’d recommend listening to this masterpiece of comedy writing and performance. It was first broadcast in 1959 and yet it still sparkles, while pretty much nailing the art of sitcom from the off. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b007k06k

Listening to The Missing Hancocks tonight.

I was lucky enough to go to a couple of these recordings at the BBC radio theatre

Neil Pearson stood up and announced Galton and Simpson were in the audience.
Without a blink of an eye, every person the the studio stood up and applauded.

A very moving experience.

And sad to hear Freddie Hancock passed away a couple of days ago.

It is very good indeed. And it is a source of the comedies I really am addicted to.

[1960] Face to Face - John Freeman cross-examines Tony Hancock. Freeman’s interview was heavily criticised. He was considered too brusque, almost ruthless in his technique. But the two became close friends and it is an interview many remember.
