Look at me when I'm talking, son.

The trouble we had in London.

0:07:250:07:28

We came on a choo-choo, didn't we?

0:07:280:07:30

Didn't we come on a little choo-choo?

0:07:300:07:33

He got the ticket on the last minute.

0:07:360:07:38

He ran on the platform, didn't you?

0:07:380:07:41

I was in a suitcase and he ran on the platform,

0:07:410:07:45

jumped in the train and the inspector said,

0:07:450:07:48

"You're in the wrong train." What did he say?

0:07:480:07:51

"Get out," didn't he?

0:07:510:07:54

He ran to the other platform,

0:07:540:07:56

jumped on the train, the inspector came again.

0:07:560:07:59

What did he say? "You're on the wrong train," didn't he?

0:07:590:08:03

I could hypnotise you, do you know that?

0:08:060:08:10

It wouldn't take long, you're half gone all ready.

0:08:100:08:13

He said, "Get out!" Didn't he?

0:08:150:08:17

We got on another... A-n-n-other. We got on a-n-n...

0:08:170:08:19

We got on another train.

0:08:190:08:22

That drink you had has gone to my tongue, you know that?

0:08:230:08:26

We got on another train and what did you do?

0:08:260:08:31

You started swearing, didn't you?

0:08:320:08:36

Who was a naughty boy?

0:08:360:08:39

Who started swearing?

0:08:410:08:42

Because you'd been messed about, eh?

0:08:440:08:47

And who was sitting opposite you on the train?

0:08:470:08:50

A parson.

0:08:530:08:54

And he heard you, didn't he? He heard you swearing, didn't he?

0:08:570:09:00

Didn't he?

0:09:000:09:02

And he said, "Young man..."

0:09:020:09:06

He said, "Young man," didn't he?

0:09:080:09:11

"You're on the road to hell."

0:09:130:09:16

And he said, "Dammit, I'm on the wrong train again!"

0:09:180:09:22

Bernard, I'm not going to do the song. Understand? There's no song.

0:09:290:09:32

I'm cutting it out.

0:09:320:09:34

I was going to do The Merry Widow. I'm not going to do it.

0:09:340:09:37

Now, you've been a wonderful audience.

0:09:370:09:39

I would like to wish you goodnight and always remember that it

0:09:390:09:43

wasn't the apple on the tree that caused all the trouble

0:09:430:09:45

in the Garden of Eden, it was the pear on the ground.

0:09:450:09:49

Goodnight! That's it.

0:09:490:09:51

Now, Albert and his auxiliaries, having eliminated

0:20:340:20:39

-the impedimenta of illusion... AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

0:20:390:20:43

Once again vociferous transformation,

# Tommy met Kitty in the subway one day

0:21:010:21:05

# Vowed she was sweeter than the flowers in May

0:21:050:21:09

# He soon found out that pretty Kitty went every day up to the city

0:21:090:21:16

# She was engaged to answer telephone calls

0:21:160:21:20

# And when rung up one day

0:21:200:21:24

# As she cried, "Hello!" through the telephone

0:21:240:21:28

# She heard her new boy say

0:21:280:21:32

# Kitty, Kitty, isn't it a pity in the city you work so hard

0:21:340:21:41

# With your one, two, three, four, five

0:21:410:21:46

# Or six, seven, eight...

0:21:460:21:50

# Kitty, Kitty, isn't it a pity that you're wasting so much time

0:21:500:21:57

# With your lips close to the telephone

0:21:580:22:02

# When they might be close to mine?

0:22:020:22:07

# Kitty said you are far too forward I fear

0:22:070:22:11

# You must remember I'm on business here

0:22:110:22:16

# And I'm afraid your conversation

0:22:160:22:19

# Sounds like a naughty boy's flirtation

0:22:190:22:23

# People will think that we're too long engaged

0:22:230:22:28

# How can that be? said he

0:22:280:22:32

# I'm not engaged, dear, to anyone but I should like to be

0:22:320:22:40

# Kitty, Kitty, isn't it a pity in the city you work so hard

0:22:410:22:49

# With your one, two, three, four, five

0:22:490:22:53

# Or six, seven, eight...

0:22:530:22:58

# Kitty, Kitty, isn't it a pity that you're wasting so much time

0:22:580:23:05

# With your lips close to the telephone

0:23:050:23:09

# When they might be close to mine?

0:23:090:23:14

0:23:270:23:30

-Ingratiating.... AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

0:23:430:23:46

-In gregarious garrulity... AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

0:23:460:23:49

Endearing and diminutive dronery,

0:23:490:23:53

your own, my own, everybody's own,

0:23:530:23:56

Mr Arthur Askey! APPLAUSE

0:23:560:23:59

-Hello, playmates!

-AUDIENCE:

-Hello!

0:24:130:24:17

Ay-thang-yaw!

0:24:170:24:19

# The girl I love is up in the gallery...

0:24:190:24:25

# The girl I love has gone to have...

0:24:250:24:28

# Have her tea. #

0:24:280:24:30

Well, anyway, this is where the programme bucks up now, playmates.

0:24:320:24:36

I...

0:24:360:24:39

-Here and now...

-AUDIENCE:

-Before your very eyes.

0:24:390:24:44

Go and find your own catchphrase.

0:24:470:24:49

Anyway, I'm going to sing a little song I haven't sung for a long time

0:24:490:24:52

and it is called The Worm.

0:24:520:24:54

# I am a sweet little wriggling worm

0:25:020:25:06

# Covered in mud from head to stern

0:25:060:25:10

# Passing the time from night till morn

0:25:100:25:14

# Leaving little casts in the middle of the lawn

0:25:140:25:18

# Just an ordinary little worm

0:25:180:25:22

# Squiggy, squiggy, squiggy, squiggy

0:25:220:25:24

# Squirm, squirm, squirm

0:25:240:25:28

# I am a sweet little wriggling worm

0:25:340:25:37

# One of the sort that rarely turn

0:25:380:25:42

# I'd rather be out in a storm or a blizzard

0:25:420:25:45

# Than filling empty spaces in the blackbird's gizzard

0:25:450:25:50

# Just an ordinary little worm

0:25:500:25:54

# Squiggy, squiggy, squiggy, squiggy

0:25:540:25:56

# Squirm, squirm, squirm. #

0:25:560:25:59

I told you it was all right. He said, "It's rubbish!"

0:25:590:26:02

# I am a sweet little wriggling worm

0:26:060:26:10

# Haven't any hair so I don't need a perm

0:26:100:26:14

# But one day it will be my fate

0:26:140:26:16

# Sitting on the pin as a small boy's bait

0:26:160:26:22

# That's the end of every little worm

0:26:220:26:26

# Squiggy, squiggy, squiggy, squiggy

0:26:260:26:28

# Squirm, squirm, squirm

0:26:280:26:31

# Squirm! #

0:26:310:26:33

Thank you. See?

0:26:450:26:47

Thank you.

0:26:470:26:51

That's it, start the silver collection!

0:26:510:26:54

Anyway, that's lovely, playmates.

0:26:540:26:57

-Do you like the suit?

-AUDIENCE:

-Yes!

0:26:570:26:59

Smart, isn't it?

0:26:590:27:00

Well, I was recommended, you see, by a friend of mine.

0:27:000:27:03

I went to this tailors and it was a lady.

0:27:030:27:06

A lady tailor, yes!

0:27:060:27:07

So I started walking out of the shop, she said,

0:27:070:27:10

"Oh, don't be silly, come back." I've done a lot of men."

0:27:100:27:15

What did you do then? Did you move?

0:27:150:27:18

So, anyway, she said, "I'll measure you for your trousers first."

0:27:180:27:22

So she got an inch tape and she went round my waist. She said, "32."

0:27:220:27:27

Then round the hips. "34"

0:27:270:27:30

Then she said, "I'll take the inside leg now. 28."

0:27:300:27:34

She said, "I'll measure you for your jacket now."

0:27:360:27:38

I said, "To hell with the jacket, I'll have another pair of trousers!"

0:27:380:27:42

To conclude this rather amazing and versatile act of mine, I...

0:27:450:27:48

I'm going to sing you another of my little songs.

0:27:480:27:51

This one I wrote this myself years ago, and it's called The Seagull.

0:27:510:27:55

# I'm a silly seagull flying in the sky

0:28:000:28:02

# Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever so high

0:28:020:28:05

# Two big wings and a large yellow beak

0:28:050:28:07

# Feathers on my chassis oh, I do look chic

0:28:070:28:10

# Flying very high, flying very low

0:28:100:28:12

# You can never catch me Oh, dear, no!

0:28:120:28:15

# Happy at the seaside never having words

0:28:150:28:18

# Happier in Chelsea with the other birds

0:28:180:28:20

# Just a silly seagull, that's all

0:28:200:28:22

# Fly away Peter, fly away Paul

0:28:220:28:25

# I'm a silly seagull flying in the sky

0:28:290:28:31

# Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever so high

0:28:310:28:35

# Though I cannot sing like the birdies in the park,

0:28:350:28:37

# Don't think I'm a sissy cos I often have a lark

0:28:370:28:40

# Flying very high, flying very low,

0:28:400:28:42

# You can never catch me Oh, dear, no!

0:28:420:28:44

# When the weather's stormy, we have got your skin

0:28:440:28:47

# You'll never find a seagull suffer from the wind

0:28:470:28:49

# Just a silly seagull, that's all

0:28:490:28:52

# Fly away Peter, fly away Fred...

0:28:520:28:54

# Paul!

0:28:540:28:57

# Just a silly seagull, that's all

0:28:570:28:59

# Fly away Peter, fly away Paul. #

0:28:590:29:05

I shan't apologise for introducing my next performer,

0:29:240:29:28

although by the time she's finished you might think I should have.

0:29:280:29:32

I have been persuaded by her mother, Lady Wellington Boot...

0:29:320:29:37

LAUGHTER

0:29:370:29:39

Suffice to say, ladies and gentleman,

0:29:390:29:41

I am going to introduce a performer

0:29:410:29:43

who has never before appeared in public,

0:29:430:29:45

given a performance in public, and I give you...

0:29:450:29:47

For your astonishment, ladies and gentlemen,

0:29:470:29:50

I give you the Honourable E...

0:29:500:29:53

Miss E Wellington Boot.

0:29:530:29:55

# My name's Emmeline

0:30:560:30:58

# And I've a great surprise for you

0:30:590:31:03

# I bet you think I'm 31

0:31:080:31:11

# I'm not, I'm 32

0:31:130:31:16

# And yesterday I said, "Mamma...

0:31:270:31:30

# "Why can't I have a beau?"

0:31:310:31:33

# She said, "My pet Oh, no, not yet

0:31:330:31:38

# "Cos you're too young, you know"

0:31:390:31:41

# I'm a little too young to know, you know

0:31:470:31:50

# I'm a little too young to know

0:31:540:31:56

# Some day I'll be older when I'm a bit bolder

0:31:590:32:03

# But now I'm too young to know

0:32:030:32:05

# The other day I asked Mamma because Mamma knows best

0:32:080:32:12

# Why other girls have bosoms and I've only got a chest

0:32:120:32:16

# "Some girls develop fast," she said

0:32:290:32:33

# "And some develop slow"

0:32:330:32:35

# But cousin Dan says great oaks can from little acorns grow

0:32:350:32:40

# I hope so

0:32:420:32:44

# I'm a little too young to know, you know

0:32:470:32:50

# I'm a little too young to know

0:32:530:32:55

# Some day I'll be bolder when I'm a bit older

0:32:580:33:02

# But now I'm too young to know

0:33:020:33:04

Come here!

0:33:120:33:14

LAUGHTER

0:33:150:33:17

# Mamma says that although I'm plain my hands and feet are nice

0:33:430:33:49

# To use them to advantage I asked Uncle Bill's advice

0:33:490:33:55

# "Keep both your hands above your waist

0:33:550:33:58

# "And both your feet below

0:33:580:34:01

# "And when you can, do use your fan

0:34:060:34:10

# "And let your assets show"

0:34:100:34:14

# I'm a little too young to know, you know

0:34:160:34:19

# I'm a little too young to know

0:34:210:34:24

# Someday I'll be bolder when I'm a bit older

0:34:300:34:33

# But now I'm too young to know

0:34:330:34:36

# I'm a little too young to know, you know

0:34:360:34:39

# I'm a little too young to know

0:34:420:34:44

# You wait till I'm 40

0:34:520:34:55

# I'm going to be naughty. #

0:34:570:34:59

APPLAUSE

0:35:010:35:03

Well, I do hope I haven't started something.

0:35:200:35:24

That was of course Miss Sheila Steafel.

0:35:240:35:26

-And, now, corybantically coordinating... AUDIENCE:

# Heedless of the night winds bitter

0:37:250:37:29

# That around about her whirl

# Though the hundreds pass unheeded

# In the evening's waning hours

# Still she cries with voice so pleading

0:37:500:37:54

# Won't you buy my pretty flowers

0:37:560:38:01

# There are hundreds sad and weary

0:38:030:38:08

# In this precious land of ours

0:38:090:38:15

# Crying every night so dreary

# My lovely flowers

0:38:340:38:36

# Won't you buy my lovely flowers?

0:38:380:38:40

# I never was a one to go and stint myself

0:38:430:38:48

# Now if I likes a thing I likes it That's enough

0:38:480:38:53

# And there's lots of people say that when you likes a thing a lot

0:38:530:38:57

# It'll grow on you and all that sort of stuff

0:38:570:39:01

# Well, I likes my drop of beer as well as anyone

0:39:010:39:06

# But a drop of beer's supposed to make you fat

0:39:060:39:10

# And there's many a la-dee-da-dee madam doesn't dare to touch it

0:39:100:39:16

# Cos she mustn't spoil her figure Silly cat

0:39:160:39:23

# I always hold with having it if you fancies it

0:39:230:39:29

# If you fancies it That's understood

0:39:290:39:32

# And suppose it makes you fat?

0:39:320:39:34

# I don't worry over that

0:39:340:39:37

# Cos a little of what you fancy does you good... #

0:39:370:39:40

Altogether!

0:39:400:39:42

# I always hold with having it if you fancies it

0:39:420:39:45

# If you fancies it That's understood

0:39:450:39:49

# Now suppose it makes you fat? I don't worry over that

0:39:520:39:56

Here's my favourite. Here we go, darling.

0:39:560:39:58

I got to tell you about this little adventure... Do you like my birdie?

0:39:580:40:00

-AUDIENCE:

-Yes.

-Don't eat much and half sing!

0:40:000:40:04

Here we go.

0:40:040:40:07

# I had to move away Cos the rent we couldn't pay

0:40:070:40:10

# The moving van came round just after dark

0:40:100:40:13

# There was me and my old man Shoving things inside a van

0:40:130:40:16

# Which we'd often done before, let me remark

0:40:160:40:19

# We packed all that could be packed On the van and that's a fact

0:40:190:40:22

# And we got inside all we could get inside

0:40:220:40:26

# Then we packed what could be packed

0:40:260:40:27

# On the tail board at the back

0:40:270:40:29

# Till there wasn't any room for me to ride

0:40:290:40:33

# And my old man said "Follow the van

0:40:330:40:37

# "And don't dilly-dally on the way"

0:40:370:40:40

# Off went the van with my home in it

0:40:400:40:43

# I followed on with me old cock linnet

0:40:430:40:46

# I dillied, I dallied Dallied and I dillied

0:40:460:40:49

# Lost me way, don't know where to go

0:40:490:40:52

# Now, who's going to put up the old iron bedstead

0:40:520:40:56

# If I can't find my way home? #

0:40:560:40:59

'Ere. The story gets sadder.

0:40:590:41:01

And I've lost me breath and I've got to sit down.

0:41:010:41:04

Oh, it's my back, you see.

0:41:040:41:06

It gives me something terrible.

0:41:060:41:08

# Now, I thought I'd give a hand With the marble washing stand

0:41:080:41:14

# And straight we wasn't getting on so bad

0:41:140:41:18

# But all at once the driver bloke has an accident and broke

0:41:180:41:23

# The nicest bit of china that we had

0:41:230:41:26

# Well, I got really mad

0:41:340:41:37

# My old man says "Follow the van

0:41:470:41:50

# "And don't dilly-dally on the way"

0:41:500:41:53

# Off went the van with my home in it

0:41:530:41:57

# I followed on with my old cock linnet

0:41:570:42:00

# I dillied, I dallied Dallied and I dillied

0:42:000:42:03

# Lost the way and don't know where to go

0:42:030:42:06

# Well, you can't trust a special when you've got a reputation

0:42:060:42:09

0:42:310:42:34

# When you can't find your way home

0:42:340:42:37

# No, you can't trust a special when you've got a reputation

0:42:370:42:41
