0:00:26 > 0:00:27Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

0:00:27 > 0:00:30and welcome to what, this week, is a really way-out show!

0:00:30 > 0:00:32From now on, it's go, go, go, all the way.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34We've got some really swinging guests for ya,

0:00:34 > 0:00:36- and first of all, ladies and gentlemen...- Excuse me, madam.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Have you seen Ernie Wise?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43You can't miss him, but you can, because he's only a little fella.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46He's got a dimple, a hollow chin.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48When he smiles, his whole face caves in.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53And what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55- I'm not a nice girl.- Good!

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Give me a kiss!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01What are you playing at? It's me!

0:01:01 > 0:01:03By golly, that was close, Ern.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06That was close, that.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Look, tonight, I'm with-it!

0:01:10 > 0:01:14I'm with it every night but I don't go about dressed like that!

0:01:14 > 0:01:16And that coat. You must get rid of it.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Why?- It's got distemper. You can tell from here.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Look, I don't care what you say, I like it.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24HE SCATS DITZILY

0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Full of it, aren't you?- Oh, yes.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34You might like it. But are you getting any?

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Getting any?

0:01:38 > 0:01:39Yes, you heard!

0:01:39 > 0:01:41Oh, dear!

0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Getting any what?- Laughs!

0:01:42 > 0:01:45You're doing it for laughs, you're not doing it for real, are you?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47You don't mean this, you're doing it for laughs.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'm not getting any laughs!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52You're getting a few funny looks, I'll tell you that!

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Even the cameramen have stopped focusing!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56And they've seen everything.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Good Lord! They've downed tools.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03You don't know anything about fashion, do you?

0:02:03 > 0:02:04Not any more, I don't, no.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Look at me when I'm talking to you. Tell me one thing.- What?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Did you come here tonight in that hat?- Yes.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Couldn't you get a taxi?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Come on.- No.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Why?

0:02:18 > 0:02:23Just because someone is dressed a little differently from you,

0:02:23 > 0:02:24you have to mock and ridicule.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I can't get over that coat, Ern.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28What's the matter with this coat?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Does it tug when you go past a lamp post?

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Promise me one thing.- What?

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Don't ever go to the countryside wearing that coat.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Why?- If a big, lusty farmer sees you, you've had it.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47- What do you mean? - You'll be sheared and dipped before you know where you are.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51That'll bring the colour back to your cheeks. As it always did!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Have you finished with the fur coat jokes?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Go on, get them out of your system. - I've only got one left.- What?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Where do you clip the lead?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Hey, come on.- No, I'm not.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03I look a right idiot doing that by myself.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'll tell you why I'm dressed like this.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, yes, you will!

0:03:09 > 0:03:13A couple of nights ago, I had a happening.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I freaked out!

0:03:20 > 0:03:21In the Kings Road!

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Ow!- It's working well, isn't it?

0:03:27 > 0:03:28I'm freaking out now!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32And I'll tell you something else.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34I went to this discotheque.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35ERIC SHRIEKS

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I met this dolly bird.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41And we really moved it!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43HE SCATS

0:03:43 > 0:03:44- You did that?- Yes!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- With a girl?!- With a girl!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- All night!- You dirty devil!

0:03:49 > 0:03:51When's the wedding?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Good God!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I've got to dress like that to get a girl? I'd be ashamed!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58I'm staying as I am, I tell you that, matey!

0:03:58 > 0:04:00It was good enough for your grandfather.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- You're getting them all in, aren't you?- Yes.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05That bit of business, as well.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08What you don't realise is, when you get to our age...

0:04:08 > 0:04:09You speak for yourself.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- You've got to dress like this to get the birds! - HE SCATS

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I tried to get you some jelly babies

0:19:36 > 0:19:38but the woman in the sweet shop didn't have any.

0:19:38 > 0:19:39I said, "A quarter of jelly babies, please.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41"Make 'em all boys, cos you get more!"

0:19:42 > 0:19:46Got no nerves with her, you know? Straight in.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Is that the joke?- No, that's true.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50No, the joke is...

0:19:51 > 0:19:54This fella goes on his holidays, you see.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Ha-ha!

0:19:57 > 0:19:59And the landlady says, "Do you like lamb?"

0:19:59 > 0:20:01He says, "Yes, I love lamb."

0:20:01 > 0:20:04And when he goes upstairs, he finds four sheep in the bedroom.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17Want a fight?

0:20:19 > 0:20:22You're not the only one that reads The Dandy!

0:20:25 > 0:20:29- You didn't read the mail this morning, did you?- I never saw it.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- What was in it?- I thought you hadn't asked about that letter I got.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34- You got a letter? - Offering me a part!

0:20:34 > 0:20:37In a pantomime, in Cinderella. Me, by myself, they don't want you.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Just me.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Pantomime, eh? Cinderella? And what part did they offer you?- Zip.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Zip?- They've done away with Buttons!

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Ha-ha! They've done away with Buttons!

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Had you up with that one, didn't I?!

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Ha! It's the wine gums. Send you wild after a while.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58LAUGHTER

0:21:03 > 0:21:06How long you been wearing them, Grandad?!

0:21:07 > 0:21:10I said, cut out the jokes, didn't I?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Oh, do me a favour. That's a joke in itself.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Something subtle, that's what I like!

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- I'm not wearing these as a joke! - Look in the mirror, then!

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I have to look after my health. I have a very...

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Delicate chest. I know.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26These are government surplus.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27- Are they?- Yes.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Got enough room there for the whole of the Cabinet!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33They are ex-naval officers'.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36I can see that, there's a porthole at the back. You turn round!

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's have a look.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42And a picture of Gerald Nabarro.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45How do you do that? That's fabulous, that!

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Move over.- Have a wine gum. - I don't want a wine gum!

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Oh!- My pyjamas.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51- I sold 'em. Ha-ha! - Wouldn't be surprised.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55What are you doing?

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Pardon?

0:21:59 > 0:22:03You're not putting your pyjamas over your long johns, are you?

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Yes, I am.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07That's a real old man's trick, that is.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Now go on, move over.- I am.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13My half of the bed.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Got that camphorated oil on again?

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Yes.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27You'll stink the room out tonight.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31I'll be walking about with wavy lines going round me tomorrow!

0:22:31 > 0:22:34And I'm going to...You're not going to read that, are you?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36No, I'm just going to look at the words, you fool!

0:22:39 > 0:22:42One of the finest books ever written, this.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44- What is it?- The Sex Life Of A Tulip.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46By Godfrey Winn.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Unexpurgated.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Unexpurgated?

0:22:51 > 0:22:52He wrote it in his bare feet.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Why don't you read something decent?

0:22:55 > 0:22:56What, though, what, though, what?

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Something like Shakespeare. - Don't like Shakespeare.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02He was all right while he was writing for Laurence Olivier.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Then they had that split and had that big row.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08He's never written anything since. Rubbish.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12People falling off castles, that's all he's ever done. Don't like him.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Never gets any laughs.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16God!

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Dearie me!

0:23:19 > 0:23:21You mean it, don't you?

0:23:21 > 0:23:25Hey, that's brought the colour back to your cheeks, hasn't it?

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Oh! Dear me!

0:23:28 > 0:23:31You don't look after yourself, don't you?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- I don't half.- You really do.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35I've got you off to a T, Ern, I really have.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38A tea urn! Did you hear it? Eh?! Get it down...

0:23:38 > 0:23:41No need to write that down. You do it all the time!

0:23:41 > 0:23:43"T, Ern, tea urn", it goes on for ever!

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'm tired anyway.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47Good night.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Trouble with you, you've got a phobia.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53That's your trouble. You've got a phobia,

0:23:53 > 0:23:55and it's ridiculous. Because you can't play one.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01- You've got this fear of growing old. - I'm not afraid of growing old!

0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'm not afraid!

0:24:03 > 0:24:05I don't know which way to turn now.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09I've got you, matey. I'm telling you, you can't help it.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11It's a progression. Life is a progression.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13And that has been proved by cleverer men than me.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- What has?- Yes, and I'll tell you something else, now you've asked.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18- You sat on me wine gums!- No!

0:24:18 > 0:24:20From the moment you're born,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23a newborn babe is an apprenticed old-age pensioner.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Have you finished, Professor? - For the time being, yes.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Perhaps I can go to sleep now. Good night.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34- I'll tell you something else. - Oh, for crying out...

0:24:34 > 0:24:37What are you playing at?! You're like a record!

0:24:37 > 0:24:39- I want to help you. I want to help you, that's all.- All right.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- I tell you something else about growing old.- What?- It's a fear.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46- Fear?- Yeah. And it's all caused

0:24:46 > 0:24:49- from when you reach puberty. - When I reach puberty?

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well, if you haven't reached now, you never will, I'm telling you.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53And I'll tell you what.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Look at me when I'm talking to you.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59You take my Uncle Barney.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02What's your Uncle Barney got to do with it?

0:25:02 > 0:25:06Well, his father was the late, and great, Jethro Morecambe.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09And he discovered...

0:25:09 > 0:25:10The secret of long life.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15You know how old Jethro Morecambe was when he died?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17I know I'm a fool for asking.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19But how old was he?

0:25:19 > 0:25:20Who?

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Jethro Morecambe!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24147.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26147 years old, Ern!

0:25:26 > 0:25:28147?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31And never had a day's illness in his life.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Well, what about the day that he died?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Eh?- What about the day that he died?

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Yes, I admit he wasn't feeling too good that day.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Would you like a wine gum? - I don't want a wine gum.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51My uncle Barney, he also discovered the secret of long life.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Quite by accident. In the Outer Hebrides.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55This is like a world tour!

0:25:55 > 0:25:59He should have gone to Torquay. But the driver put the wrong glasses on.

0:26:01 > 0:26:07Now, then. He met an old crofter who told him, the secret of long life...

0:26:07 > 0:26:09In the Gaelic!

0:26:12 > 0:26:14All right, tell.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17What is the secret of long life?

0:26:17 > 0:26:18I'll tell you some other time.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20You're not interested. I can see that.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23No, I am interested. I want to know! I don't want to grow old, you see.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26I want to know the secret of long life. Now, tell me. Tell me.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31Do you know what? This old crofter told my Uncle Barney, in the Gaelic?

0:26:31 > 0:26:35- What? I don't know. - He told him the secret of long life.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Well, that's what I want to know. What is it?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Have a wine gum. - I don't want a wine gum!

0:26:39 > 0:26:42All I want to know is what this old crofter told your Uncle Barney.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44What is the secret of long life?!

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Puffins.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Puffins?!

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Puffins! Those little sea birds.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01This old crofter told my Uncle Barney, in the Gaelic,

0:27:01 > 0:27:04he said, a puffin a day keeps the doctor away.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06And one or two other people as well, I'm told.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Well, I wouldn't fancy eating a puffin.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11I can't say that I blame you.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14They make you walk funny, for a start.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18And Uncle Barney was an adventurous man. Ba-boom!

0:27:18 > 0:27:19And he tried one.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23And do you know how old my Uncle Barney was when he died?

0:27:23 > 0:27:25- No. How old was he?- Who?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Your Uncle Barney!- 23.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33- 23?!- He fell 300 feet off a cliff face, trying to catch a puffin.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36APPLAUSE

0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Anywhere, I will find you

0:27:46 > 0:27:48# Don't care where, look behind you

0:27:48 > 0:27:51# I'll be there, following you around

0:27:54 > 0:27:56# Rain or shine, you won't chase me

0:27:56 > 0:27:59# I don't mind where you take me

0:27:59 > 0:28:02# Spend my time, following you around

0:28:04 > 0:28:06# Oh, listen, don't you know

0:28:06 > 0:28:09# Hiding from me does no good

0:28:10 > 0:28:12# Wherever you may go

0:28:12 > 0:28:16# I'll be in the neighbourhood

0:28:16 > 0:28:19# If you fly, I will follow

0:28:19 > 0:28:22# I don't care about tomorrow

0:28:22 > 0:28:25# Long as I'm following you around

0:28:27 > 0:28:29# If you run, I'll run faster

0:28:29 > 0:28:33# Gone and set, like a piece of plaster

0:28:33 > 0:28:36# Get my kicks, following you around

0:28:38 > 0:28:41# Get my kicks, following you around

0:28:43 > 0:28:46# Get my kicks, following you around. #

0:28:49 > 0:28:51- All right!- Ha-ha-ha-hey!

0:28:51 > 0:28:54APPLAUSE
