    It still amazes me that Ronnie Barker could think up ideas as silly as this, write a sketch that is just long enough to fit everything in, and then perform it without missing a beat AND staying dead-pan throughout. A true comedy genius.

    The two Ronnie's used to slip up in the ending of the show in their news reel, but this was done on purpose. Those "stories" and headlines were handed to them at the last minute, and the camera purposely landed on either of them as the other finished, meaning one Ronnie would be still laughing at the other's joke when it was his turn to talk. They didn't get much of a chance to look over those scripts before they spoke them, so everything so "natural" in this case.

    "Good evening. I’m squeaking to you tonight, once again, as the chairman for the Loyal Society for the Promention of Pismronunciation, a society formed to help people who can't say their worms correctly. I myself often use the wrong worms, and that is why I was erected charming of the society. Firstly, let me put you in the puncture regarding our mumblers. Now, peach and every plum of them have a dickyfelty in conversing with the people they meet in everyday loaf. Their murk waits at the fig tree or the orifice, or even in their own holes-min and wooves, sather and fun, brother and thistle- unable to commainicute. Now this can be an enormous bandy chap to our tremblers at all thyme, especially at bismuth thyme, because bismuth is a season of grease on earth, and pigs-will to all men, when the family all get together to eat, get drunk and be messy, gather round the fireside, cracking nits, smelling torahs and singing old pongs and barrel. How many of our rumblers lose out on these skinful pastimes. A very close fringe of mine, for instance, once went carol slinging with the local church queer. But instead of slinging "Good King Wenslas' arce stuck out,” -and his feet were steaming- and sang “Go rest your belly, gentlemen, Let nothing rude display,” which of course caused havoth amonk the queer and deeply uphended the nicker’s white-f. (That is just one instance of what my tremblers have to stiffer with a lipped upper-stuck.) What we need-what we need now is money to build clubs and calamity centres, where people don’t have to bover with the write worms; places where they can greet each other with a cheery “Good afternuts, how nice to squeeze you…” a place where they can play a game of ping-tennis or table-pong, scribble, or nuts and crutches. Many famous people are patrons of the society -er- priddlytricians like Widdley Whitelawn, Sir Geoffrey Whoo and Mr Dennis Holy. Also famous TV nose-bleeders like Reggie Boozencorps, Anthola Ripen and Anna Floored… and of course Mrs Hairy Whitemouse. Not to be confused with Mrs Woodlouse, the hob dangler. Among the aristocracy there is Lord Longfelt. There is the Duchess of Bedbug and Lord Monteboo Goolly. But patronage is not enough; remember the worms of Willi’n’ Shakes-piece, our great national po-face: “A horse, a house, my kingdom for a hearse.” And of course eventually he got all three. What we need is printed matter. Any sort of printer mutter, no mitter what sort. Send your magazines, nose-papers, dicts and booktionaries. Do it now! Bungle it up in pustules and post it to one of our mini branches dotted all over the Bottish Isles. Minchester, Hirminbang, Loverpill, and as far north as the Firth of Filth. We’re also busy setting up outposts foreign pants too-all over the glob. In fact, we have just opened a branch in Siam. And now, in confusion, I would like you to join me in singing the Siamese notional anthem to the tune of “God Save the Queer” (Posts phonetic Lyrics:) Oh what an arce I am! … Oh what an arce I am! … I am a tit Oh what a fool am I… Oh what a fool am I… Oh what a nut I am … Oh what a nit. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

    A lot of comments here about the pure genius of this man. What you are seeing here is just a small sample of his work. Our friends overseas may not have seen him in some of his other great works such as Porridge and Open All Hours. The two characters he played in those series were very different, and very different from the character he is playing here. 'Genius' is just too small a word to describe him. Have a look around KZread for some extracts from those series!

    I love how people like to say 'oh, this was a golden age, when nobody used nasty rude words, and it was all good clean fun'. They are all pretty rude in their way, it is just that they go about it by another method. Comedians use single entendre today, whereas in the past it had to be double for very obvious reasons. Listen to Ramblin' Syd Rumpo on Round the Horne and it is some of the filthiest stuff you have ever heard.
