0:04:39 > 0:04:45Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your co-host for this evening, Mr Marcus Brigstocke!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Hello!

0:04:48 > 0:04:52Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I am Marcus Brigstocke.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55What a wonderful knees-up we are having here this evening!

0:04:55 > 0:04:59You don't mind me coming in your box there, madam? There's saucy!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Now, what's gonna be on next, I wonder?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Is it gonna be a mind-reading bicyclist

0:05:05 > 0:05:09who sets fire to budgerigars to the theme of Crash, Bang, Wallop, What A Picture?

0:05:09 > 0:05:13No, I highly doubt it because Phill Jupitus has just come backstage

0:05:13 > 0:05:16and said that everybody was dressed up and I'd better put this on.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21What a thundering bollock I now feel!

0:05:22 > 0:05:27Never mind, ladies and gentlemen, we have got a truly fantastic evening of entertainment for you.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29And now I'm going to introduce someone

0:05:29 > 0:05:32who I believe to be one of the funniest people I have ever met

0:05:32 > 0:05:34and I have met six people.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Ladies and gentlemen, please clap until the meat falls off your hands

0:05:38 > 0:05:41for the wonderful Mr Milton Jones!

0:05:41 > 0:05:45CHEERING

0:05:55 > 0:05:57So, good evening.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59AUDIENCE: Hello!

0:05:59 > 0:06:02I've just come back from Australia.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05CHEERING Thanks. It's great to be back.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09While I was there, I learnt some Aborigine words,

0:06:09 > 0:06:15like "boo" which means "to return"

0:06:15 > 0:06:18cos when you throw an ordinary meringue...

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I've just come back from Holland.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27CHEERING

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Thanks. It's great to be back.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32While I was there, I was in a fish restaurant.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The bloke on the table next to me began to cough. I ignored him.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39He began to choke. I still ignored him.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Then he began to choke really badly

0:06:41 > 0:06:45so in the end, I stood up and I smacked him on the back really hard.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Anyway, it turns out he was just speaking Dutch.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56That works with Welsh as well.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03So I phoned up the spiritual leader of Tibet

0:07:03 > 0:07:07and he sent me a large goat with a long neck.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Turns out I'd phoned Dial-A-Llama.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25Did you ever have a conversation with someone and towards the end they say, "Well, I'll let you go"?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30And you think, "Yeah, thanks.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32"Oh, I see what you're saying -

0:07:32 > 0:07:36"you're trying to make me think that you think I've got better things to do,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39"but in reality, you're saying that YOU'VE got better things to do."

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Next time someone says that to you,

0:07:42 > 0:07:44say, "NO!"

0:07:47 > 0:07:48Shut the door.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53If they make a sudden dive for the window, grab them by the ankles.

0:07:53 > 0:07:59As they're dangling four storeys above the car park, screaming, "This has all been a terrible mistake!"

0:07:59 > 0:08:02say, "OK, I'll let you go."

0:08:07 > 0:08:11If they make it illegal to wear the veil at work,

0:08:11 > 0:08:13beekeepers are gonna be furious.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23The pollen count...

0:08:23 > 0:08:25That's a difficult job.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Especially if you've got hay fever.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36One sneeze and you have to start again.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43I didn't have a very good summer last year. I set up a clinic for colonic irrigation.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46But the hosepipe ban hit us hard.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58Incredible to think, isn't it, that every single Scotsman started out as a Scotch egg.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Cold and gingery.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Any Scotsmen here?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Yes!- I've got a bit of Scottish blood myself

0:09:15 > 0:09:18on a kitchen knife.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I enjoy playing Scottish music

0:09:26 > 0:09:28on my Och-iPod.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I'm very English, really. I even ordered a book on the internet -

0:09:36 > 0:09:40How To Have Absolutely Nothing To Do With Your Neighbours.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Unfortunately I was out when it was delivered.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Militant feminists!- Woo!- Woo!

0:09:55 > 0:09:58I take my hat off to them. They don't like that.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Old ladies in wheelchairs with blankets over their legs - I don't think so.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Retired mermaids.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23The worst job I ever had was forensic pathologist for the United Nations.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28I remember uncovering the mass grave of 1,000 snowmen.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Fortunately...

0:10:33 > 0:10:36it turned out to be a field full of carrots.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well, it's been great to be here.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49To be honest...

0:10:49 > 0:10:55People say that as well. "Do you mean everything you've said so far hasn't been honest?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58"How can we trust what you're gonna say now?"

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Anyway, you've been a great audience, but to be honest...

0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'll let you go.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10CHEERING Very good.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14My life hasn't been entirely wasted.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17After all, I was the man who discovered DNA.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Woo!

0:11:19 > 0:11:24I wasn't gonna call it that, but I was giving a lecture to the Royal Society.

0:11:24 > 0:11:30I said, "Gentlemen, I believe I have discovered the genetic fingerprint of all human life!

0:11:31 > 0:11:33"Ta-da!"

0:11:33 > 0:11:36APPLAUSE

0:11:36 > 0:11:39That's all from me. Thank you very much, good night. CHEERING

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Hello! HELLO!

0:11:48 > 0:11:50CHEERING

0:11:50 > 0:11:54People of London!

0:11:54 > 0:11:58So we're now here in the balcony where, back in the ye olde days of music hall,

0:11:58 > 0:12:04the landowners would live and throw meat and butlers onto the poor.

0:12:04 > 0:12:10But of course it's not like that now cos nobody can afford property in south London!

0:12:11 > 0:12:13Anyhow, onwards and upwards,

0:12:13 > 0:12:17one of the facets of the music hall industry is of course the magic act

0:12:17 > 0:12:20or the prestidigitation as they used to call it then.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Quite rightly, people who practised it were burnt at the stake.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29However, things have moved on and now magic is sexy and fabulous

0:12:29 > 0:12:32and the kind of thing that makes ladies tingle downstairs.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36If you don't believe me, look at these two young men coming on the stage now.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Please welcome the curious stylings of...Barry and Stuart!

0:12:40 > 0:12:44CHEERING

0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's Mr Barry Jones.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00WOLF WHISTLE

0:13:00 > 0:13:036'3", two eyes,

0:13:03 > 0:13:06only one functioning testicle.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12With an emo haircut like that, it's clear to all that he's got a Myspace.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20The thing is that he's only got one friend - Horny For Love, 69.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21That's his mum.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24OMG!

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Barry also likes to think of himself as a bit of an artist.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Tosser.

0:13:30 > 0:13:36He spends many a lonely night staring at a blank canvas, waiting for inspiration to strike.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Oh, look, he's found a muse - a girl down at the front.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43He throws her the flower.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44Gives her a smile.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47She flashes Barry her right breast.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00In her mind.

0:14:00 > 0:14:06Barry takes that inspiration and furiously lets his creativity spill forth onto the page.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09He draws the most beautiful thing humanity has ever beheld.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17A circle. Does the circle represent the artist's empty soul?

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Does it represent the cyclical nature of reality?

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Or is it just a massive tit?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28He decides to add some detail - some shapes up there,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30some shading and texture down there.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33It makes his drawing almost lifelike.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39He now gives his work a name, the usual pretentious name will do,

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Untitled 1 or something like that.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Oh, look, he's calling it Bowling Ball. How enigmatic(!)

0:14:45 > 0:14:49Displeased with his design, he covers it up.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53He spirals downwards into a state of manic depression.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56He decides to give up drawing and takes up sculpture.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Ohhh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Barry!

0:15:11 > 0:15:14That's Barry Jones there, also available in straight.

0:15:17 > 0:15:22Please make some noise for king AND queen of the hermaphrodites, Stuart!

0:15:22 > 0:15:25CHEERING, HORSE NEIGHS

0:15:28 > 0:15:345'8". Arms like Samson. Face like broken Ryvita crackers.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Stuart is the keeper of puzzles,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40many of which he keeps... in his mouth.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:48 > 0:15:51His favourite puzzle of all is the Rubik's Cube,

0:15:51 > 0:15:54except when they're all mixed up.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57That mix of colours just gives Stuart a headache.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00And although he likes to think himself the keeper of puzzles,

0:16:00 > 0:16:03he's certainly not the solver of them,

0:16:03 > 0:16:08for every time he moves the bits around, the puzzle remains completely mixed up.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10So he has to cheat.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13He uses his magic to solve the cube in mid-air.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:23 > 0:16:28A feat so impressive that the girl at the front shows Stuart her right breast.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Come on, it was worth a try!

0:16:32 > 0:16:37Then, overcome with the guilt of using his magic to solve the Rubik's Cube,

0:16:37 > 0:16:39he pretends the whole thing never happened

0:16:39 > 0:16:43and he just makes the cube...disappear.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:48 > 0:16:49That's Stuart!

0:16:49 > 0:16:53CHEERING

0:16:55 > 0:16:59Thanks. Right, we're gonna need a willing volunteer from the crowd.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Me!

0:17:03 > 0:17:09Now, we understand it can be quite stressful coming up here what with the lights and all the people

0:17:09 > 0:17:13and the cameras so you, sir, you right there, make your way to the stage.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Keeps your hands where we can see them. Give him a round of applause!

0:17:16 > 0:17:19CHEERING

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Come on, come up the stairs.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Keep moving, a little faster than that.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Stand right there.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Right, you got a mobile phone on you?

0:17:27 > 0:17:30You got a phone on you? Face the people!

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Take it out or we'll kick your nuts right off.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Yeah, then we'll stamp on your empty scrotum.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Give him your phone or we'll give you a wet willy.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44With a knife! Come on, give it here!

0:17:44 > 0:17:46What you've just witnessed is a mugging.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Sorry about that one, Victim.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57- But we did it to prove a point. - Why don't you tell them what that point is?- Love to.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02The point is a pocket isn't a safe place to keep a mobile phone.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Where do you think's the safest place to keep your mobile?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Shoes?

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- No.- It's inside you. - Right inside you.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18You know, behind your skin.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22- That's a pretty nifty shirt you've got on today.- Thanks.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Where did you get that shirt from? - Oh, thank you.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27It was Harry's House of Hetero-Retro Fashions.

0:18:27 > 0:18:32Just next to Gary's Garage of Gay Garments, you'll know where that is.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Was it expensive? - It was about £4,500.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- WOLF WHISTLE, CHEERING - Reasonable.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45I don't know what you're worrying about. You don't look pigeon-chested.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- You look all right. - Come on, Barry, just hurry up.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Here's how we get your phone into his skin.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53- You ready, Stuart?- Aye!

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Aaaaaah!

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Aaaaah!

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Aaaaaaah!

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Aaaaaah!

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Aaaaaah!

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Aaaaaah!

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Thanks, Barry. Now your phone is somewhere near my liver.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18To show you the phone's precise location,

0:19:18 > 0:19:22we've conveniently brought along this X-ray machine.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Before the show started, I had a barium drink,

0:19:26 > 0:19:28a special radioactive fluid.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31It means that your phone should show up on an X-ray picture.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33I've got this photographic plate

0:19:33 > 0:19:39that means a picture will develop here, showing the exact location of your mobile phone.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I'll just take an image now. - TING!

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Oh! Barry, I think it's done.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Let's have a look.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Well, looking at that completely real and in no way fake picture,

0:19:56 > 0:20:02I can tell that that mobile phone is poking right into your cock.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Potential victims - listen up.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11This is the safest place in the world to keep your phone

0:20:11 > 0:20:13because no mugger can get his hands on it.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16After all, there is only one way you can get it out.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Do it, Barry.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Aaaaaah!

0:20:24 > 0:20:25You've missed it.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I know I missed it!

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Pull your arm out and try again.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35I can't get my arm back, it's stuck.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Stuart, I'm gonna have to go forward.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Oh God! Aaaaah!

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Shitting hell!

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Aaaaah!

0:20:59 > 0:21:01It is now!

0:21:01 > 0:21:03All right, go back and sit down.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah. Never again will you be called a victim.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Right, Barry, could you get out of my stomach now?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19You're on my bladder and I really need a piss.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- All right, but I think we should make a big thing of this. - What do you mean?

0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Like a grand finale.- Like a grand ending with music and lights?

0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Yeah, one of them.- All right.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32FANFARE

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Stuart...I'm going to do a back flip!

0:21:37 > 0:21:38A back flip? Wow!

0:21:42 > 0:21:46CHEERING

0:22:07 > 0:22:10This is exactly what it would have been like back in those days

0:22:10 > 0:22:16and one of the reasons we at the BBC thought it'd be great if we revived the music halls tradition.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I don't know if any of you read the papers,

0:22:18 > 0:22:24but TB and syphilis are back so why not music hall as well to give that authentic feeling?

0:23:24 > 0:23:27I don't normally get that sort of... HE BELCHES

0:23:28 > 0:23:34I'm not entirely sure where that's come from. Earlier on this morning,

0:34:13 > 0:34:18Ladies and gentlemen, in the days of the music hall

0:34:18 > 0:34:22it was Marie Lloyd who perhaps cornered the market in female filth.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24She had a couple of songs...

0:34:24 > 0:34:29She had one called She Sits Among The Cabbages And Peas.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31LAUGHTER

0:34:31 > 0:34:34And she had a recruiting song

0:34:34 > 0:34:40about fancying a Scottish soldier called Oh, I Do Like a Cocky One in Khaki.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44- LAUGHTER - I'm only hoping that things have moved on a little

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Oh, come on!

0:35:13 > 0:35:17Am I the only person who thinks that woman should just shut the hell up?

0:35:17 > 0:35:19CHEERING

0:35:21 > 0:35:25for shagging an old man for four years. Be happy!

0:35:25 > 0:35:27LAUGHTER There's women all over the country

0:35:27 > 0:35:31going, "I've been doing it for 20 and I'm going to get bugger all."

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Now, I have to tell you

0:35:33 > 0:35:36I did a very stupid thing on Saturday.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39I went to my local shopping centre on a Saturday.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43Stupid. I don't know if it's the same where you are.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Saturday, the place is packed with teenagers.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48And their children.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50Isn't it?

0:35:52 > 0:35:56I hadn't been to one for a while. I went to an Argos.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59People here been to an Argos? AUDIENCE: Yes.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02People in the posh seats a bit confused possibly.

0:36:02 > 0:36:06They're going, "Is it like John Lewis? I really don't know."

0:36:07 > 0:36:09They're not sure.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12If you've never been to one, you should go.

0:36:12 > 0:36:17Because I'm sure you'd walk in and go, "What the hell is this place?!"

0:36:17 > 0:36:20They're not like any other shops in the world.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24For a start, I'm looking at the people, "This is weird."

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Everyone's dressed for the gym but you know no-one's going.

0:36:32 > 0:36:36Honest to God, I felt like phoning up Crimewatch UK.

0:36:36 > 0:36:41"You know those people you're looking for? I've found them."

0:36:42 > 0:36:45"No, all of them. Bring a van."

0:36:45 > 0:36:49"Hurry. They're distracted. They're looking at catalogues."

0:36:49 > 0:36:53It's a weirdly complicated system because you have to fill in the form,

0:36:53 > 0:36:57then you take the form, queue up, you get a number,

0:36:57 > 0:37:00then you have to queue up and wait for the number to be called.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03But everyone in there knows the system.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Because they designed it to be as much like signing on as possible.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16It's genius, isn't it?

0:37:16 > 0:37:19And they give them those little pens

0:37:19 > 0:37:22so they think they're in the bookmaker's as well.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31Amazingly, Argos, it's like Harrods for chavs.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33That's what it is.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35< WOMAN SQUEALS

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Lady laughing at common people. Did you hear her?

0:37:40 > 0:37:44I don't think this is a coincidence - they've got Argos opposite Pizza Hut.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47That's wedding list, reception.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49It's true.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51CHEERING

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Where I live I'm very lucky, I live between two supermarkets.

0:37:58 > 0:38:02So I can go to both of them and I have a loyalty card for both of them.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05I happened to be in Tesco's at the checkout

0:38:05 > 0:38:10and by mistake I gave my Sainsbury's loyalty card.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12AUDIENCE: Oooh!

0:38:12 > 0:38:16God, you're loyal, aren't you? It's the club card room, isn't it?

0:38:16 > 0:38:20So the checkout woman, she looked at the card,

0:38:20 > 0:38:25she put it down. She looked at her own badge.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36"Maybe I DO work in Sainsbury's."

0:38:39 > 0:38:42I spoke to my mum today because I don't have caller ID.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45LAUGHTER

0:38:51 > 0:38:55I think she phoned as a subtle reminder because it's their anniversary coming up.

0:38:55 > 0:38:58My parents will soon be married for 42 years.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01That's a long time, isn't it? CHEERING

0:39:01 > 0:39:03They met when they were at school.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05AUDIENCE: Aww! It's sweet, isn't it?

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Except my mum was six and my dad was the caretaker.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14I'm very happily married to a Scotsman. He's a pussycat.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18Well, he pisses in the corner and scratches the furniture.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20But we're very happily married.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24And even when you're happily married, you do have arguments, don't you?

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Cos men are annoying.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33We had this row the other day. This was a really stupid argument.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36Because he thought that he could win.

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Arguing's different for men and women.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45For women, the best bit of the argument is always the beginning.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47When we start it. Isn't it?

0:39:48 > 0:39:51The look of surprise on his face.

0:39:52 > 0:39:56Cos we've been working on this for a couple of days, haven't we?

0:39:56 > 0:39:58He's just an innocent.

0:39:58 > 0:40:03He goes, "I was just watching Dragons' Den. I've done nothing. What?"

0:40:05 > 0:40:07And we've got our clipboard of reasons.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Some of which date back many years.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19This is what we had a row about. I was listening in to a conversation.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21How many here listen to other people's conversations?

0:40:21 > 0:40:25AUDIENCE SHOUTS Yes. Oh, and some men. Usually it's just women.

0:40:25 > 0:40:31If I'm on a bus, I can go ten miles out of my way if it's a good conversation.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34But I overheard this conversation. It was two men.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36They were talking about a woman.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39One of then said, "She's no oil painting

0:40:39 > 0:40:44"but you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're poking the fire."

0:40:44 > 0:40:45WHISTLING AND CHEERING

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Don't laugh! Terrible, terrible, terrible.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52That's what we argued about cos I said women wouldn't talk like that.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55I don't know what the female equivalent is.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57I've never heard a woman say, "He's no oil painting

0:40:57 > 0:41:01"but you don't look at the butcher when you're eating the sausage."

0:41:01 > 0:41:04LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Well, I'm going to have to leave you,

0:41:09 > 0:41:12because I... AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:41:12 > 0:41:16No, I'm a little bit uncomfortable because I've just come from a waxing.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19And... Yeah, my back is killing me.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23Thanks very much, ladies and gentlemen. Good night.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Ladies and gentlemen...

0:41:36 > 0:41:39in Edwardian times,

0:41:39 > 0:41:42music hall was both educational and entertaining

0:41:42 > 0:41:46and involved a truly staggering amount of gin.

0:41:46 > 0:41:47LAUGHTER

0:41:47 > 0:41:50Much of which I've been indulging in this evening

0:41:50 > 0:41:53as has become evident as the evening has passed by.

0:41:53 > 0:41:58However, through the poverty-stricken, haggish miasma

0:41:58 > 0:42:01which you have recreated so beautifully for us this evening,

0:42:01 > 0:42:05there was still time for education and enlightenment.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08And that is what we're going to bring to the stage now.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Would you please welcome, for your elucidation,

0:42:11 > 0:42:13from post-Revolutionary France,

0:42:13 > 0:42:16the wonderful Messrs Harry Enfield and Marek Larwood.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:33 > 0:42:41from the world-famous act Mr Enfield and Mr Larwood, They Fill the Stage with Scenes from History.

0:42:41 > 0:42:42CHEERING

0:42:43 > 0:42:48And tonight for your entertainment we would like to fill the stage

0:42:48 > 0:42:52with the tale of the Emperor's New Clothes.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54MUSIC: The Marseillaise

0:42:58 > 0:43:01FRENCH ACCENT: I am the Emperor Napoleon.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05Emperor of France and conqueror of Europe.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07And I'm on my way to see my fabulous tailor.

0:43:11 > 0:43:12Hello, Mr Lagerfeld.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Bonjour. - LAUGHTER

0:43:14 > 0:43:19Bonjour, Emperor Napoleon. How may I help you?

0:43:19 > 0:43:22I would like some new clothes, please.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25I don't like these clothes any more.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28I look like an upside-down ship's anchor.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34- But I designed this look for you. - I know.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36And the whole of France followed my look

0:43:36 > 0:43:39and the rest of Europe giggled.

0:43:39 > 0:43:44They say we French are a nation of complete and utter anchors.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46LAUGHTER

0:43:47 > 0:43:49APPLAUSE

0:43:52 > 0:43:57- So you would like a new suit. - Yes, please.- I'll measure you.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59- You take off your clothes.- OK.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02AUDIENCE HOOTS

0:44:05 > 0:44:09Emperor, tell me, how was Moscow?

0:44:09 > 0:44:11Oh, it was very cold.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14I don't like it when it is very cold.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16It makes my penis shrink.

0:44:20 > 0:44:22Emperor, do you know your shoe size?

0:44:22 > 0:44:25My shoe size? Yes. It is one.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27Although...

0:44:27 > 0:44:33I can slip into a lady's number two when push comes to shove.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35You are very accommodating.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Very accommodating.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42AUDIENCE SQUEALS

0:44:48 > 0:44:50So...

0:44:50 > 0:44:53OK, I am ready to measure you.

0:44:53 > 0:44:55You want to measure my inside leg?

0:44:57 > 0:44:59This one or this one?

0:45:01 > 0:45:04Actually, I do not need to measure.

0:45:04 > 0:45:07- What?!- There! There is your new suit.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09It is very pretty.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12- But I am naked.- No, no.

0:45:12 > 0:45:18No, it is a very, very fine mix of silk and polyester.

0:45:18 > 0:45:23See how the people of France admire their emperor and his new clothes.

0:45:23 > 0:45:27AUDIENCE WHISTLES AND CHEERS

0:45:31 > 0:45:36People of France, admire my new clothes.

0:45:40 > 0:45:41Josephine...

0:45:42 > 0:45:47..you know I said not tonight? I changed my mind.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52I am very pleased with my new clothes.

0:45:52 > 0:45:56- Thank you, Mr Lagerfeld.- You're welcome. Have a nice day.- Thank you.

0:45:56 > 0:45:57I'm off to Waterloo.

0:45:57 > 0:46:03Watch out for Wellington. They say he looks forward to fighting you.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05Wellington fight me?

0:46:05 > 0:46:08Pah! He hasn't got the balls.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:46:19 > 0:46:20Hello.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Hello, everybody down there, again.

0:46:23 > 0:46:24Hello!

0:46:24 > 0:46:29Just before the show, I went to an Italian restaurant

0:46:29 > 0:46:32and I said to the waiter, "Excuse me, mate, do you do ciabatta?"

0:46:32 > 0:46:34And he went, "I'll have a go, sir."

0:46:34 > 0:46:36HE IMITATES CHEWBACCA

0:46:39 > 0:46:41Star Wars, love. It's a film.

0:46:42 > 0:46:44Some people just don't keep up.

0:46:44 > 0:46:49Travelling abroad is something the students now do and they love it.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51They did it back in the age of the music hall

0:46:51 > 0:46:53and they called it World War One.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57Coming onto the stage now, boys and girls,

0:46:57 > 0:47:00is a man I like to think of as a true global village idiot.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03A man who disproves that travel broadens the mind,

0:47:03 > 0:47:06the unique stylings, ladies and gentlemen -

0:47:06 > 0:47:10a slag show from Giles Wemmbley-Hogg.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:47:17 > 0:47:21# Ah-oh-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

0:47:21 > 0:47:25# Mmmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

0:47:25 > 0:47:27# Mmm-waa-aa-aa-aa-aa. #

0:47:27 > 0:47:29Hello.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31I'm Giles Wemmbley-Hogg.

0:47:31 > 0:47:33Two M's, two G's.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35From Budleigh Salterton.

0:47:35 > 0:47:38Now, how many of you here went to university?

0:47:38 > 0:47:40SOME SHOUT, SOME WHOOP

0:47:40 > 0:47:42You don't whoop if you've been to university.

0:47:42 > 0:47:46Yours is a converted poly, my friend.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51But that's not really the point.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54Who here has been on a gap year?

0:47:54 > 0:47:55SOME AUDIENCE REACTION

0:47:55 > 0:47:57- POSH ACCENT - You've been on gap year?

0:47:57 > 0:47:58Yah?

0:47:58 > 0:48:00Yah.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03- Where did you go for your gap year, madam?- To Southeast Asia.

0:48:03 > 0:48:07To Southeast Asia. Of course you did. That's where we all go.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09That's why I got this sarong.

0:48:09 > 0:48:12Forgive me if there's a turtle head showing.

0:48:12 > 0:48:13Um...

0:48:14 > 0:48:17..I spent a bit of time in Southeast Asia

0:48:17 > 0:48:21and it's wonderful. It really does change you. It broadens the mind.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25I saw some amazing things over there. I saw a lot of poverty.

0:48:25 > 0:48:29And, what's more, I've got it on video, so that's nice.

0:48:29 > 0:48:33- LAUGHTER - You've got to bring something back. And, believe me, I did.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35Amoebic dysentery.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36Um...

0:48:36 > 0:48:40No, I just think you haven't really understood the true nature of Southeast Asia

0:48:40 > 0:48:46until you've fired pint after pint of boiling-hot, shitty magma down the back of your own legs.

0:48:46 > 0:48:50I think that's when you've really absorbed the nature of the place.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53But, you know, good times.

0:48:53 > 0:48:58I want to recommend travel to all of you because it really can broaden your mind.

0:48:58 > 0:48:59It can change your perspective.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01When I went to Thailand...

0:49:01 > 0:49:06I think one of the key things is to make sure you don't take too much stuff with you.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09I was in Thailand for six weeks. You've got to pack small.

0:49:09 > 0:49:13Lay your stuff out sensibly on a bed. Get a smaller bed if necessary.

0:49:13 > 0:49:14Pop it all in a rucksack.

0:49:14 > 0:49:18I'm going to show you what you might need for a six-week trip to Thailand.

0:49:18 > 0:49:22This is my rucksack. This is all I took with me for six weeks.

0:49:22 > 0:49:23OK, that's it.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29Now the first four foot of that is corduroy trousers.

0:49:29 > 0:49:30You're going to need those...

0:49:30 > 0:49:34You're going to need those until you familiarise yourself with the sarong.

0:49:34 > 0:49:38And from thereon in, you've got rugger tops,

0:49:38 > 0:49:43sturdy walking boots and then space for as many sarongs as you can carry.

0:49:43 > 0:49:46So there we go. That's what a person needs.

0:49:46 > 0:49:49Now I'd like to share with you if I may

0:49:49 > 0:49:53some of the slides I took on my wonderful trip around Thailand.

0:49:53 > 0:49:57Trust me, I think you're going to be blown away by some of these.

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Look at that. Isn't it wonderful? The old departure board.

0:50:00 > 0:50:04All you have do when you get to the airport is locate the place that you're going to.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07I missed it the first time round, but...

0:50:07 > 0:50:11And then waiting room, classic. Skiddy chairs.

0:50:11 > 0:50:12Very, very skiddy chairs.

0:50:12 > 0:50:16Lot of fun. Didn't matter that the flight was seven hours delayed.

0:50:16 > 0:50:18Er...

0:50:18 > 0:50:20here we are. This is Thailand.

0:50:20 > 0:50:23As you can see, Thailand Grand Invitation, Bangkok airport,

0:50:23 > 0:50:24extraordinary duty-free.

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Um...palace,

0:50:26 > 0:50:27palace,

0:50:27 > 0:50:29palace...

0:50:29 > 0:50:30temple.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Here we are, baggage reclaim.

0:50:32 > 0:50:33Now...

0:50:33 > 0:50:35APPLAUSE

0:50:35 > 0:50:38You're right. It's a goody, isn't it?

0:50:38 > 0:50:42For an almost Third-World country, they've really nailed the old reclaim.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44Got six of the buggers.

0:50:44 > 0:50:48Your rucksack'll come out round there, unless you've got one like mine.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51That comes out in a special section labelled "Travelling Twats".

0:50:53 > 0:50:56Now not everything in the Thai airports is the same.

0:50:56 > 0:50:57Have a look at this.

0:50:58 > 0:51:02It's not racist to say that they're smaller than we are.

0:51:02 > 0:51:05But that is absurd. It really is.

0:51:05 > 0:51:06OK, what else have we got?

0:51:07 > 0:51:11Ah, the tuktuk. This is how you'll be travelling around.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14I find the easiest thing is to give the man your money in advance

0:51:14 > 0:51:20and immediately wet your pants because that's what's gonna happen whilst you're on the tuktuk.

0:51:23 > 0:51:24No idea.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28A word about Thai food, if I may.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31Don't. Don't.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33Don't. OK?

0:51:34 > 0:51:36That may look delicious

0:51:36 > 0:51:38but it isn't.

0:51:38 > 0:51:40Stick to Pad Thai. OK?

0:51:40 > 0:51:42You know where you are with Pad Thai.

0:51:42 > 0:51:46Palaces. To be honest, they shit them out over there.

0:51:46 > 0:51:47Now this...

0:51:49 > 0:51:53..this is just outside of Bangkok.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56This is actually a Christian war memorial.

0:51:56 > 0:51:57It's a cemetery.

0:51:57 > 0:52:02And a very solemn place, very important for the Thai community.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05Many people lost their relatives there.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08Now I don't know how many of you ever played off-ground "it"...

0:52:08 > 0:52:10- LAUGHTER - A few of you.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12A few of you will have done.

0:52:12 > 0:52:18Well, take it from me, if you're over there travelling with some of the bloody good blokes that I was,

0:52:18 > 0:52:22you really can have a cracking good game of off-ground "it".

0:52:22 > 0:52:25We were there for nearly 35 minutes before they kicked us out.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28Wonderful, wonderful times. Learned a lot.

0:52:29 > 0:52:30Oxford Street?

0:52:30 > 0:52:32No, it's Bangkok.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35Knock-knock, who's there?

0:52:35 > 0:52:37Some sort of gargoyle. Wonderful.

0:52:37 > 0:52:39Ah, interesting.

0:52:39 > 0:52:43The wonderful sunsets - though, of course, it's a different hemisphere over there,

0:52:43 > 0:52:47so when you think the sun is setting, it's actually rising.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51And there we are back at the airport.

0:52:51 > 0:52:55There's one picture which summarises my trip to Thailand more than any of the others.

0:52:55 > 0:52:59I think I will always treasure this as my memory of Thailand.

0:52:59 > 0:53:00And it's this...

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Where's he going? Do you know what I mean?

0:53:04 > 0:53:07Little airport buggy there. He's got one trailer.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10I know my rucksack was in there. It never made the plane.

0:53:10 > 0:53:15It's almost as if by the end of my six weeks they had something against people like me.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18There's no reason to understand why that would be.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21You've been very patient. I hope to see you on the road.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:53:27 > 0:53:29Oh, the splendour!

0:53:31 > 0:53:33Now music hall covered many bases.

0:53:33 > 0:53:38Culturally just there, a marvellous, marvellous moment of entertainment

0:53:38 > 0:53:42but they would also occasionally break for culture.

0:53:42 > 0:53:47And I felt that it would be in keeping with the fine music-hall tradition we have here this evening

0:53:47 > 0:53:49to give you a little culture, a little poetry.

0:53:49 > 0:53:51I've written a poem.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

0:53:53 > 0:53:55It's about the time I met Paul McCartney.

0:53:55 > 0:53:57It's a true story, word for word.

0:53:58 > 0:54:00It's called He Loves You.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06My nerves jangled and heart strangled

0:54:06 > 0:54:11as I made my way towards the man who sang Hey Jude

0:54:11 > 0:54:14Holding paper, grasping pen

0:54:14 > 0:54:15going over lines again

0:54:15 > 0:54:18as I approached the knight who gave us Blackbird

0:54:19 > 0:54:22He stood alone, his Hofner bass in hand

0:54:22 > 0:54:25deserted by his makeshift megaband

0:54:25 > 0:54:27of Pirates, Purples and Pink Floyds

0:54:27 > 0:54:30the boy from Penny Lane

0:54:30 > 0:54:32As I drew near them

0:54:32 > 0:54:33mop-top smiled

0:54:33 > 0:54:36Before him stood the little child

0:54:36 > 0:54:37who sang She Loves You

0:54:37 > 0:54:39with his mum

0:54:39 > 0:54:41Yeah, yeah, yeah

0:54:42 > 0:54:44My nerves increased

0:54:44 > 0:54:45Sir Paul at peace

0:54:45 > 0:54:47calmed me down

0:54:47 > 0:54:51with a friendly, "I know you. You're off the telly."

0:54:51 > 0:54:53And without thinking

0:54:53 > 0:54:58I replied, "And I know you, mate. You were in the fucking Beatles."

0:54:58 > 0:55:00LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:55:03 > 0:55:06But one man and one poem.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09On the stage now, ladies and gentlemen, three voices meshed in harmony

0:55:09 > 0:55:12like no others you have ever heard,

0:55:12 > 0:55:14cock those listening ears open

0:55:14 > 0:55:18for the unique stylings of the Puppini Sisters!

0:55:24 > 0:55:25# And so you're back

0:55:25 > 0:55:27# from outer space

0:55:27 > 0:55:29# I just walked in to find you here

0:55:29 > 0:55:31# with that sad look upon your face

0:55:31 > 0:55:33# I should have changed my stupid lock

0:55:33 > 0:55:35# I should have made you leave your key

0:55:35 > 0:55:37# If I had known for just one second

0:55:37 > 0:55:39# you'd be back to bother me

0:55:39 > 0:55:42# Go on, now, go walk out the door

0:55:42 > 0:55:45# just turn around now

0:55:45 > 0:55:47# Cos you're not welcome any more

0:55:47 > 0:55:48# Weren't you the one

0:55:48 > 0:55:50# who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

0:55:50 > 0:55:52# You think I'd crumble

0:55:52 > 0:55:54# You think I'd lay down and die

0:55:54 > 0:55:55# Oh, no, not I

0:55:55 > 0:55:57# I will survive

0:55:57 > 0:56:00# as long as I know how to love

0:56:00 > 0:56:01# I know I'll stay alive

0:56:01 > 0:56:03# Cos I've got all my life to live

0:56:03 > 0:56:05# And I've got all my love to give

0:56:05 > 0:56:07# And I'll survive

0:56:07 > 0:56:13# I will survive

0:56:15 > 0:56:18# Out on the wily, windy moors

0:56:18 > 0:56:21# We'd roll and fall in green

0:56:23 > 0:56:27# You had a temper like my jealousy

0:56:27 > 0:56:30# Too hot, too greedy

0:56:31 > 0:56:33# How could you leave me

0:56:33 > 0:56:36# when I needed to possess you?

0:56:36 > 0:56:39# I hated you

0:56:39 > 0:56:40# I loved you, too

0:56:41 > 0:56:43# Bad dreams in the night

0:56:43 > 0:56:45# Ooh-ooh

0:56:45 > 0:56:49# They told me I was going to lose the fight

0:56:49 > 0:56:52# Leave behind my Wuthering, Wuthering

0:56:52 > 0:56:54# Wuthering Heights

0:56:54 > 0:56:58# Heathcliff, don't you know that it's me, it's Cathy?

0:56:58 > 0:56:59# I've come home

0:56:59 > 0:57:04# so cold, let me in-a-your window

0:57:04 > 0:57:06# Da-da-da

0:57:06 > 0:57:10# Heathcliff, don't you know that it's me, it's Cathy?

0:57:10 > 0:57:11# I've come home

0:57:11 > 0:57:16# So cold, let me in-a-your window

0:57:17 > 0:57:20TEMPO CHANGES

0:57:24 > 0:57:26# Bam, bam, bam, bam

0:57:26 > 0:57:30# Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam

0:57:32 > 0:57:34# Once I had a love and it was a gas

0:57:36 > 0:57:38# It soon turned out he had a heart of glass

0:57:40 > 0:57:41# Seemed like the real thing

0:57:41 > 0:57:44# only to find

0:57:44 > 0:57:45# A bunch of mistrust

0:57:45 > 0:57:46# love's gone behind

0:57:48 > 0:57:50# In between...

0:57:50 > 0:57:53# what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine

0:57:53 > 0:57:58# Love is so confusing there's no piece of mind

0:57:58 > 0:58:00# If I fear I'm losing you

0:58:00 > 0:58:02# It's just no good

0:58:02 > 0:58:04# you teasing me like you do

0:58:53 > 0:58:56APPLAUSE Thank you!

0:59:07 > 0:59:10Well, a gentleman, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to announce to you now

0:59:10 > 0:59:15has an astonishing CV in the world of variety entertainment.

0:59:15 > 0:59:20He had a triumphant season at the Bankside Working Men's Club, Leeds,

0:59:20 > 0:59:22in 1957.

0:59:22 > 0:59:27Would you please welcome, still fresh as a daisy, from that triumph

0:59:27 > 0:59:31the one and only Count Arthur Strong!

0:59:31 > 0:59:32APPLAUSE

0:59:50 > 0:59:53I shouldn't be having to bring this on.

0:59:54 > 0:59:56It should be all set up for me.

0:59:56 > 1:00:02There should be a team of people whose job it is to set all this up for us.

1:00:03 > 1:00:05Remember that for another night...

1:00:06 > 1:00:09..whosever job it is to remember that.

1:00:19 > 1:00:21Ladies and gentlemen,

1:00:21 > 1:00:23my name is Count Arthur Strong,

1:00:23 > 1:00:28as you full well know, so don't start any of that up.

1:00:31 > 1:00:34And this evening I was begoing to do for you

1:00:34 > 1:00:38my wonderful memory man act of mine I do,

1:00:38 > 1:00:44but unfortunately I am unable to find my turban when I'm doing it.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47It's an orange one.

1:00:47 > 1:00:50I had it at rehearsals this afternoon.

1:00:50 > 1:00:52But I don't know what happened to it after that.

1:00:52 > 1:00:54- It's behind you!- Oh!

1:00:59 > 1:01:04Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, it's absolutely delightful for me

1:01:04 > 1:01:06to be here before you this evening

1:01:06 > 1:01:10as part of this contemporary, modern music-hall event

1:01:10 > 1:01:14that the BBC or, as I sometimes call it for a joke,

1:01:14 > 1:01:19the British Broadcasting Corporation...

1:01:19 > 1:01:21LAUGHTER

1:01:21 > 1:01:24Anyway, if I can get a word in,

1:01:24 > 1:01:27I'm highly delighted to be part of it all.

1:01:27 > 1:01:29And I'll tell you something,

1:01:29 > 1:01:31they've struck gold dust picking me

1:01:31 > 1:01:36because I am one of the few people that can remember what it was like first time round.

1:01:36 > 1:01:40Oh, we had some wonderful acts in those days,

1:01:40 > 1:01:41acts like, um...

1:01:41 > 1:01:44Little Lenny Longarms

1:01:44 > 1:01:48And His Very, Very Long Arms.

1:01:48 > 1:01:52I tell you something, the things he could reach

1:01:52 > 1:01:54was quite frightening

1:01:54 > 1:01:57with those long arms

1:01:57 > 1:01:58of his.

1:01:58 > 1:02:00Who else was there?

1:02:00 > 1:02:01Arnold...

1:02:01 > 1:02:02Cheatham.

1:02:02 > 1:02:05I forget what he did.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08But his mother was deaf...

1:02:08 > 1:02:10for all you aficionados out there.

1:02:11 > 1:02:13Oh, and of course my favourite

1:02:13 > 1:02:17who I had the great privilege and honour of working with

1:02:17 > 1:02:21at the Bradford Alhambra when I got my start in music hall,

1:02:21 > 1:02:23sadly no longer with us, God bless him,

1:02:23 > 1:02:27Wee Billy Bugle And His Hoop Of Flames.

1:02:27 > 1:02:30Oh, he could make that bugle talk, could Billy.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32What was his last words?

1:02:32 > 1:02:36"Put me out. I'm on flipping fire!"

1:02:38 > 1:02:40Still, he went as he would have wanted.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42Up like a soddin' bazooka.

1:02:42 > 1:02:47They say there's still some bits of him on the ceiling at the Alhambra.

1:02:47 > 1:02:50They haven't got the heart to wipe him off.

1:02:51 > 1:02:55Or a long enough ladder, if truth be known.

1:02:55 > 1:02:58That's not very hygienic, is it?

1:02:58 > 1:03:03Having that stuck above your head when you're watching Babes In The Wood or something,

1:03:03 > 1:03:06falling in your bag of crisps, eugh!

1:03:07 > 1:03:11So, ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to entertain you further.

1:03:11 > 1:03:16Would you journey back in time with me to Ancient Egypt?

1:03:16 > 1:03:18GONG BOOMS OUT Oh, for crying out loud!

1:03:18 > 1:03:20ORIENTAL MUSIC PLAYS

1:03:20 > 1:03:23Nearly gave me a bloody heart attack, that!

1:03:23 > 1:03:27I do hope whoever did that won't be doing it for the actual show.

1:03:30 > 1:03:32Anyway, ladies and gentlemen,

1:03:32 > 1:03:35come to the Pyramids, as I introduce to you

1:03:35 > 1:03:39Count Arthur Strong and his little tiny friend,

1:03:39 > 1:03:41Little Tiny King Tut.

1:03:41 > 1:03:43Come on, Little Tiny Tut.

1:03:46 > 1:03:48Don't be shy.

1:03:48 > 1:03:52Say hello to the ladies and gentlemen, why don't you?

1:03:53 > 1:03:56Oo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh...

1:03:57 > 1:03:59Oh, what's the matter? Can't you talk?

1:03:59 > 1:04:02Whoo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh.

1:04:03 > 1:04:06See, you've had all your internal organs taken out

1:04:06 > 1:04:10and your mouth bandaged up, my goodness me, that's a bit of a let off, isn't it?

1:04:10 > 1:04:12A bit of a shame.

1:04:12 > 1:04:15Mm-mm-ooh-mm.

1:04:16 > 1:04:20And what's more, you're telling me, they painted you from head to foot

1:04:20 > 1:04:22in a resin to waterproof you

1:04:22 > 1:04:26and wrapped you up in approximately 375 yards of linen bandages?!

1:04:28 > 1:04:31My goodness me! You HAVE been in the wars, Tiny Tut.

1:04:34 > 1:04:35Tell you what,

1:04:35 > 1:04:42as you're obviously so down in the dumps, why don't we do one of our little songs to cheer yourself up?

1:04:43 > 1:04:44Wh-ooh-ooh.

1:04:44 > 1:04:47You're right. It is one of my good ideas.

1:04:49 > 1:04:50After three, then.

1:04:50 > 1:04:51One...

1:04:51 > 1:04:56# Anything you can do I can do better

1:04:56 > 1:04:59# I can do anything better than you

1:04:59 > 1:05:00# Ooh-ooh-whoo

1:05:00 > 1:05:01# Yes, I can

1:05:01 > 1:05:03# No, you can't. #

1:05:03 > 1:05:04Yes, I can!

1:05:04 > 1:05:05No, you can't!

1:05:05 > 1:05:06Yes, I can!

1:05:06 > 1:05:08Yes, I can. Yes, I can!

1:05:08 > 1:05:13I'd never have suggested it if I'd known you were going to be so argumentative.

1:05:14 > 1:05:16Ooh-ooh-ooh.

1:05:16 > 1:05:18Tell your mother. I'm not bothered.

1:05:18 > 1:05:20Ooh-ooh-ooh.

1:05:21 > 1:05:25I don't care if she is Queen Cleopatra of the Nile.

1:05:25 > 1:05:28My dad was

1:05:28 > 1:05:31the assistant air vice marshal of Doncaster,

1:05:31 > 1:05:35so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38Oh, I'm going to have a drink of me drink.

1:05:38 > 1:05:41You thought I'd forgot that, didn't you?

1:05:41 > 1:05:44Tell you what, Tiny Tut,

1:05:44 > 1:05:46while I have a drink of me drink,

1:05:46 > 1:05:49why don't you finish the song you were doing, eh?

1:05:49 > 1:05:52After three, then...

1:05:57 > 1:05:58Three.

1:05:58 > 1:05:59Ooh...

1:05:59 > 1:06:01mmm...

1:06:04 > 1:06:05Mmm...

1:06:06 > 1:06:07Ah!

1:06:08 > 1:06:09A-agh!

1:06:09 > 1:06:10Eh-ahg!

1:06:10 > 1:06:15That was you, that, you boggle-eyed bugger!

1:06:15 > 1:06:18Back of my throat's red raw now cos of you!

1:06:18 > 1:06:21Don't even think of answering me back.

1:06:23 > 1:06:27No time at all for your temper tantrums, young man.

1:06:28 > 1:06:31What are you looking at?

1:06:31 > 1:06:34Trouble with you is you don't know where to draw the line, do you?

1:06:34 > 1:06:36APPLAUSE

1:06:44 > 1:06:47Well, they've put me back in the box again

1:06:47 > 1:06:52like I'm some sort of Patrick Kielty presenter type wannabe.

1:06:53 > 1:06:55It's not right, is it? I don't want to be in here.

1:06:55 > 1:06:59I am a performer, not just some presenter they can hire in. I'm a bloody turn.

1:06:59 > 1:07:03- SPARSE APPLAUSE - That's right. A little applause would be much appreciated.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:07:06 > 1:07:09I've nothing against you people...

1:07:09 > 1:07:11What in God's name is that?

1:07:14 > 1:07:17Nothing against you people, but the stage beckons to me

1:07:17 > 1:07:19and I intend to heed her call.

1:07:19 > 1:07:22To the stage. I must make my way now to the stage

1:07:22 > 1:07:25so I can give my performance. This way.

1:07:25 > 1:07:26Is it? I think.

1:07:26 > 1:07:28Where is it?

1:07:28 > 1:07:29Yes, that's fine.

1:07:29 > 1:07:30Um...

1:07:30 > 1:07:33In fairness, I had to leave that one.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36I'd floated a bit of an air biscuit in there.

1:07:37 > 1:07:41I'm terribly sorry about that. It's all this Edwardian food.

1:07:41 > 1:07:44I had nearly a pint of the Gentlemen's Relish earlier

1:07:44 > 1:07:46and it's not going to come out in a cold wash.

1:07:46 > 1:07:49- GROANS - Now, we should swiftly introduce the next act.

1:07:49 > 1:07:54Ladies and gentlemen, mere words cannot even come close to describing this man.

1:07:54 > 1:07:59You must now pin your eyelids to your foreheads - not literally, it's dangerous and revolting.

1:07:59 > 1:08:01Trust me, you're going to have a wonderful time.

1:08:01 > 1:08:05- The incredible Bruce Airhead! - APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:08:07 > 1:08:10MUSIC: "Mambo No 5" by Lou Bega

1:08:37 > 1:08:39AUDIENCE: Whoo!

1:09:00 > 1:09:02AUDIENCE CHEER

1:09:43 > 1:09:46LAUGHTER AND CHEERS

1:12:20 > 1:12:22Three...

1:12:22 > 1:12:24Two...

1:12:24 > 1:12:26One.

1:12:29 > 1:12:32APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:12:49 > 1:12:53Time now, ladies and gentlemen, for one man,

1:12:53 > 1:12:55one Scottish accent, one microphone -

1:12:55 > 1:12:58apparently there's some sort of quota to meet.

1:12:58 > 1:13:02Please welcome to the stage, Mr Frankie Boyle!

1:13:02 > 1:13:05APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:13:13 > 1:13:16Hello! AUDIENCE SHOUTS

1:13:16 > 1:13:22The most Scottish thing I've ever seen, I was going through a town called Bathgate, at night,

1:13:22 > 1:13:26and there was a guy pissing against a front door.

1:13:26 > 1:13:30Who then took out his keys and went inside!

1:13:30 > 1:13:33LAUGHTER

1:13:33 > 1:13:35Bathgate's an amazing place.

1:13:35 > 1:13:38Scientists have discovered cave paintings in Bathgate

1:13:38 > 1:13:40that date back to the 1960s.

1:13:40 > 1:13:42LAUGHTER

1:13:43 > 1:13:46I have a big beard about half the year

1:13:46 > 1:13:49to stop people shouting "Proclaimers!" at me.

1:13:49 > 1:13:52And then the beard gets to a certain length,

1:13:52 > 1:13:55and they all start shouting "Paedophile!"

1:13:55 > 1:13:57LAUGHTER

1:13:57 > 1:13:59Apparently they did a survey in America,

1:13:59 > 1:14:04that said that Osama Bin Laden is now more famous than Michael Jackson.

1:14:04 > 1:14:09And you think, "Yeah, but he puts a lot less effort into his videos."

1:14:09 > 1:14:11LAUGHTER

1:14:11 > 1:14:16It would really freak the Americans out if he just threw in a wee moonwalk now and again.

1:14:16 > 1:14:21Good old Michael Jackson - he's got to live out the life of a Scooby Doo villain.

1:14:21 > 1:14:25Hanging around an abandoned funfair wearing a plastic face.

1:14:25 > 1:14:27LAUGHTER

1:14:31 > 1:14:35British Army have got a recruiting drive on in Scotland at the minute.

1:14:35 > 1:14:40Cos that's what you need if you're fighting an unwinnable war in the desert - more ginger people.

1:14:40 > 1:14:43LAUGHTER

1:14:45 > 1:14:49We've got the big new hope in American politics, Barack Obama.

1:14:49 > 1:14:53Pretty much the worst name you could have in American politics, Obama.

1:14:53 > 1:14:58Halfway between "Osama" and "a bomber".

1:14:58 > 1:15:02He might as well be called Muslim Ogunbomb.

1:15:02 > 1:15:05LAUGHTER

1:15:08 > 1:15:12Saw a great story recently - they're planning on starting to treat alcoholics

1:15:12 > 1:15:16by giving them acid. LSD.

1:15:16 > 1:15:19That's gonna make tramps very different people.

1:15:19 > 1:15:24"Any spare change, pal? I've got a unicorn to feed."

1:15:24 > 1:15:26LAUGHTER

1:15:26 > 1:15:29APPLAUSE

1:15:31 > 1:15:35Apparently scientists have come up with a condom

1:15:35 > 1:15:37for premature ejaculation.

1:15:37 > 1:15:41Basically, it's got an anaesthetic in the lining and it makes you numb.

1:15:41 > 1:15:43You can last for longer.

1:15:43 > 1:15:47Or you can wear it inside out and you don't have to wake anybody up.

1:15:47 > 1:15:49AUDIENCE GASPS

1:15:49 > 1:15:52LAUGHTER

1:15:55 > 1:15:57Cos science isn't all progress, is it?

1:15:57 > 1:16:01What was wrong with train toilet doors that just locked?

1:16:01 > 1:16:04Instead of this multiple choice system.

1:16:04 > 1:16:08So now if anything goes wrong, you're going to be sitting there,

1:16:08 > 1:16:14while the whole fucking wall slowly slides away.

1:16:14 > 1:16:18And you're unveiled like a prize on a quiz show!

1:16:18 > 1:16:22'For 500 points, a shitting woman!'

1:16:22 > 1:16:25LAUGHTER

1:16:27 > 1:16:32Have you ever heard that science thing that if you put a frog into boiling water,

1:16:32 > 1:16:36it'll jump out, but if you put it into cold water,

1:16:36 > 1:16:40and you heat the water up, the frog won't realise, and it'll die?

1:16:40 > 1:16:46Or to put it another way, scientists have got a lot of time on their hands.

1:16:46 > 1:16:48"Shall we have a go at curing cancer?"

1:16:48 > 1:16:53"No, I'm going to see how many Fruit Pastilles it takes

1:16:53 > 1:16:56"to choke a kestrel." LAUGHTER

1:17:05 > 1:17:09Are you all looking forward to the Olympics? No, you're not.

1:17:09 > 1:17:11Nobody is.

1:17:11 > 1:17:15I mean, I've been to the East End of London,

1:17:15 > 1:17:20and what those people really need is a world-class dressage centre(!)

1:17:20 > 1:17:22LAUGHTER

1:17:22 > 1:17:27There's a Bangladeshi community there crying out for a velodrome.

1:17:29 > 1:17:32I mean, it's good that they're holding it in the East End,

1:17:32 > 1:17:35cos it'll mean that the athletes have to use more skill

1:17:35 > 1:17:40as they work out which of the gunshots they heard was the starting pistol.

1:17:40 > 1:17:45"Steady! That was a revenge killing in the doorway of a newsagent's!"

1:17:45 > 1:17:47LAUGHTER

1:17:47 > 1:17:52They talk about the Olympics instilling national pride in England.

1:17:52 > 1:17:57For 9.2 billion, you could have written "Fuck off, Germany" on to the moon.

1:17:57 > 1:18:00LAUGHTER

1:18:00 > 1:18:05Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a pleasure talking to you. Enjoy the rest of your night.

1:18:05 > 1:18:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:18:13 > 1:18:16Now, the music hall... Hello, hello, hello.

1:18:16 > 1:18:19The music hall, you probably won't know this, it was, at the time,

1:18:19 > 1:18:21it was quite a seditious place.

1:18:21 > 1:18:25Because the working classes used to go there to be entertained.

1:18:25 > 1:18:29It was one of the only places they could go and shout and express their views,

1:18:29 > 1:18:33and a song like My Old Man (Said Follow The Van)

1:18:33 > 1:18:37was actually about dodging a rent collector.

1:18:37 > 1:18:41There was another song called Let's Go Up Knightsbridge And Beat Up The Toffs,

1:18:41 > 1:18:44was actually about global warming.

1:18:44 > 1:18:46Lessons to be learned there.

1:18:46 > 1:18:50Now on the bill, if you went to a variety show like this,

1:18:50 > 1:18:52very often you'd see a mentalist.

1:18:52 > 1:18:56And at that time it was someone who would read minds.

1:18:56 > 1:19:00Tonight, we thought we could improve on that threefold

1:19:00 > 1:19:03and we present now, for your edification,

1:19:03 > 1:19:09three mentalists, ladies and gentlemen - We Are Klang.

1:19:09 > 1:19:11APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:19:15 > 1:19:17Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

1:19:17 > 1:19:21welcome, welcome to the theatrical section of this evening's show.

1:19:21 > 1:19:25Allow me to introduce myself - I am a theatre impresario,

1:19:25 > 1:19:27my name is Derek-upon-Tweed,

1:19:27 > 1:19:31it's an honour for you to have me here tonight!

1:19:31 > 1:19:35Thank you very much. Now, every year, at the Edinburgh festival,

1:19:35 > 1:19:37I showcase to those Scottish shit-eaters

1:19:37 > 1:19:41the delights of a wonderful pan-European theatre troupe

1:19:41 > 1:19:43entitled Kyatra Bastardski.

1:19:43 > 1:19:47I'm absolutely delighted to welcome them to this stage tonight.

1:19:47 > 1:19:51I'll be providing a narrative commentary for the partially sighted

1:19:51 > 1:19:54in accordance with the terms of my parole!

1:19:54 > 1:19:59I'll ask you to now very warmly welcome...les playeurs.

1:19:59 > 1:20:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:20:03 > 1:20:07On your right, the beautiful and talented Parisian actress Brigitte Baldot,

1:20:07 > 1:20:10and on your left, Jean-Paul Van Dick.

1:20:13 > 1:20:18We present Emile - a tale of erotic obsession.

1:20:18 > 1:20:21Actors, prepare yourselves!

1:20:23 > 1:20:28Oh, what a night! Late September, back in '63.

1:20:28 > 1:20:30LAUGHTER

1:20:30 > 1:20:34It was a very special night for he and she.

1:20:34 > 1:20:37Emile was beautiful, truly beautiful.

1:20:37 > 1:20:40She looked just like Britney Spears.

1:20:42 > 1:20:44LAUGHTER AND CHEERS

1:20:47 > 1:20:50She looked like a fragile woodland creature.

1:20:50 > 1:20:52Like a rabbit.

1:20:52 > 1:20:55Like a rabbit trapped in the headlights.

1:20:55 > 1:20:59That had just eaten a really nice carrot.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02LAUGHTER And then met Bill Oddie.

1:21:04 > 1:21:07Jacques was a proud man. He had the arrogance of youth -

1:21:07 > 1:21:09a youth that had horrendously faded.

1:21:11 > 1:21:14But he was handsome and he knew it.

1:21:14 > 1:21:17Handsome save for a slight touch of Bell's palsy.

1:21:17 > 1:21:19LAUGHTER

1:21:19 > 1:21:22From which he had completely recovered.

1:21:22 > 1:21:24Though every now and then it returned...

1:21:24 > 1:21:27Went away again...

1:21:27 > 1:21:30Came back on the other side of his fat face.

1:21:31 > 1:21:33In the main, he was fine.

1:21:33 > 1:21:35Emile had fallen in love with Jacques

1:21:35 > 1:21:37and she longed to express that love.

1:21:37 > 1:21:40She flashed him her most winning smile.

1:21:40 > 1:21:42LAUGHTER

1:21:42 > 1:21:46Not that one - that made her look like Sonia from Eastenders!

1:21:46 > 1:21:48She tried again.

1:21:49 > 1:21:52And there was the smile that would win Jacques's heart.

1:21:52 > 1:21:56Jacques smiled back, the broadest possible smile.

1:22:00 > 1:22:04And Jacques's smile transformed Emile's smile to one of lust.

1:22:04 > 1:22:07A powerful lust. Overwhelming lust.

1:22:07 > 1:22:10The sort of lust that could destroy worlds.

1:22:12 > 1:22:17The moment was too intense for both of them, and they fell away to eating their food.

1:22:17 > 1:22:20Emile loved to eat grapes and devoured them hungrily.

1:22:20 > 1:22:22Grape after grape she popped into her mouth.

1:22:22 > 1:22:25Jacques enjoyed the simple biscuits set before him.

1:22:25 > 1:22:29But he was a clumsy eater, and got one caught in his lower lip.

1:22:38 > 1:22:40LAUGHTER

1:22:40 > 1:22:44Emile was still piling grape after grape into her mouth.

1:22:44 > 1:22:47Sometimes as many as ten in at one time.

1:22:53 > 1:22:56And then another 12...

1:23:01 > 1:23:03And then another 17...

1:23:10 > 1:23:13Emile smiled at Jacques.

1:23:13 > 1:23:16LAUGHTER

1:23:17 > 1:23:20LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

1:23:20 > 1:23:23It was at this point that Jacques decided to impress Emile

1:23:23 > 1:23:25by holding his breath for five minutes.

1:23:29 > 1:23:32Emile was still piling grape after grape into her mouth.

1:23:32 > 1:23:36But she could bear it no longer - she had to speak to Jacques.

1:23:38 > 1:23:40- MUFFLED:- I love you!

1:23:40 > 1:23:42But Jacques hadn't understood!

1:23:42 > 1:23:45Emile panicked, and in her panic

1:23:45 > 1:23:47began to squawk like a parrot.

1:23:47 > 1:23:49Arrrk!

1:23:49 > 1:23:52Arrrk!

1:23:52 > 1:23:54This drove Jacques wild with desire.

1:23:54 > 1:23:57He longed to touch, he needed to touch...himself.

1:23:58 > 1:24:02He began to play with his own breasts.

1:24:02 > 1:24:06Not through clothing, actually against the skin.

1:24:07 > 1:24:11He began to violently shake his own udders.

1:24:11 > 1:24:13WOLF WHISTLE Look at the state of that.

1:24:13 > 1:24:15Look at the state of that.

1:24:15 > 1:24:18This drove Emile wild with passion.

1:24:18 > 1:24:20She was still squawking and shoving grapes in,

1:24:20 > 1:24:23but now she took the simple biscuits set before her

1:24:23 > 1:24:26and started to slam them into her own forehead!

1:24:26 > 1:24:29Alternately shoving grapes in,

1:24:29 > 1:24:32squawking, and pile-driving biscuits in.

1:24:32 > 1:24:36It was at this point that Jacques's Bell's palsy returned!

1:24:36 > 1:24:38On both sides of his face!

1:24:40 > 1:24:43- Emile was wild with desire.- Arrrk!

1:24:43 > 1:24:47She was still squawking, shoving grapes, slamming biscuits.

1:24:47 > 1:24:51But then she began robotic dancing. Robotic dancing.

1:24:51 > 1:24:54And Jacques could only express his love in one way -

1:24:54 > 1:24:56through the medium of squat thrusts!

1:24:56 > 1:24:59Jacques started doing squat thrusts,

1:24:59 > 1:25:01hard physical exercise,

1:25:01 > 1:25:05the 38-year-old man literally seconds away from a heart attack.

1:25:05 > 1:25:10Emile started to grind her pelvis against the floor,

1:25:10 > 1:25:12frotting herself on the stage.

1:25:12 > 1:25:15And Jacques showed the audience his pubes.

1:25:15 > 1:25:17Jacques showed the audience his pubes.

1:25:17 > 1:25:21Jacques, show your audience your greying pubic hair.

1:25:22 > 1:25:26Jacques showed the audience his greying pubes!

1:25:26 > 1:25:30Show your pubes! Come back here now! Come back!

1:25:30 > 1:25:33That was the theatre!

1:25:33 > 1:25:36APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:25:42 > 1:25:45Well, what a night we've had,

1:25:45 > 1:25:48and it comes to a frothy, exciting climax.

1:25:48 > 1:25:52Bringing the evening to its logical conclusion,

1:25:52 > 1:25:57performing a number from their newest album, entitled, NW5,

1:25:57 > 1:26:01once more with feeling please, for the Camden marauders themselves,

1:26:01 > 1:26:03Madness!

1:26:03 > 1:26:05APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:26:14 > 1:26:17I'm not, but he is!

1:26:20 > 1:26:25# Ooh, I watched you grow up Only to despise

1:26:27 > 1:26:30# I've seen the madness rise up

1:26:30 > 1:26:33# through taut bullet eyes

1:26:34 > 1:26:40# And I heard you come up Believing your own lies

1:26:41 > 1:26:46# Witnessed the blessing rise up In a very strange disguise

1:26:48 > 1:26:51# Though you have become a burden

1:26:51 > 1:26:54# One thing remains that's for certain

1:26:54 > 1:26:58# I will love you all my life

1:26:58 > 1:27:01# but without you in my life

1:27:03 > 1:27:05# Oh, I've seen you come up

1:27:05 > 1:27:08# I've seen you come alive

1:27:09 > 1:27:14# From them very humble beginnings in NW5

1:27:15 > 1:27:19# And though we face the final curtain

1:27:19 > 1:27:22# One thing remains that's for certain

1:27:22 > 1:27:26# I will love you all my life

1:27:26 > 1:27:29# But without you in my life

1:27:29 > 1:27:35# Cos I would give you everything

1:27:35 > 1:27:38# For just the smile you bring

1:27:38 > 1:27:42# For just a song to sing... #

1:27:42 > 1:27:45Half a saxophone! How can you have half a saxophone?

1:27:45 > 1:27:47That's ridiculous!

1:27:56 > 1:28:02# I would give you everything

1:28:02 > 1:28:05# For just that smile you bring

1:28:05 > 1:28:09# For just a song to sing

1:28:09 > 1:28:15# Oh, I would give you everything

1:28:15 > 1:28:19# For just the smile you bring

1:28:19 > 1:28:24# For just a song to sing us now. #

1:28:24 > 1:28:28APPLAUSE

1:28:29 > 1:28:31Thank you.
