0:05:42 > 0:05:50# You left behind a broken doll

0:05:51 > 0:05:58# Jere-Jeremiah, my heart is on fire

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Ladies and gentlemen, polyglottally...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22AUDIENCE: Oh!

0:07:23 > 0:07:28For your gratification, Mr John Bouchier.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Thank you very much indeed, Mr Chairman

0:07:37 > 0:07:39for that very nice introduction.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Very nice? You didn't understand a word of it!

0:07:41 > 0:07:42LAUGHTER

0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Yes, I did.- Well, I didn't.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46That's because you're not very well educated

0:07:46 > 0:07:49and without education you'll never be able to work.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53I was working all last summer. I was a lifeguard on the beach all summer.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Oh!- Saving the girls.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56- What for?- The winter.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58LAUGHTER

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- What's that thing?- That's got nothing whatever to do with you,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03but as you mention it, I'd like to show the ladies and gentleman.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05You sit down for a bit and I'll show them.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08In fact, you sit over here like this. That's the idea.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09You just sit there.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13And you can turn your head round like that. Good.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17LAUGHTER

0:08:17 > 0:08:19A little girl came up to me and said, "Would you do me a favour?"

0:08:19 > 0:08:22I said certainly. She said, "Could you mend my dolly for me?"

0:08:22 > 0:08:25I said, "Yes, if you've got the parts". So she gave me the body.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I said, is there any more? She said, "No."

0:08:27 > 0:08:29I thought, well, it needs a head so I got a sort of a tennis ball,

0:08:29 > 0:08:32cut it in half, painted it so it would look like a face

0:08:32 > 0:08:36and placed it on the back of my hand like this with a piece of elastic.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37HE COUGHS

0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Excuse me. - HE COUGHS

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- My throat needs clearing. - Needs cutting!

0:08:42 > 0:08:45LAUGHTER

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- That wasn't very polite. - No, but it was sincere.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52LAUGHTER

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I said, "How's that?" She said, "That's fine."

0:08:54 > 0:08:59APPLAUSE

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Hello, Andy.- Hello.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- How are you? - Very well, thank you.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Good, I'm very pleased to hear that. Tell me, do you go to school?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- I go to two schools. - Oh, two schools.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Weekday school.- Yeah. - And Sunday school.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Oh, and which school do you like best?- Sunday school.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Why is that? - Only go once a week.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21LAUGHTER

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Do you mind if I smoke?- Don't care if you burn.- Well that's very...

0:09:24 > 0:09:26LAUGHTER

0:09:26 > 0:09:30That's nice coming from a little boy. Tell me, how old are you?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Four years old.- Four years old and you say something like that.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- When will you be five? - On my birthday.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37LAUGHTER

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Do you mind if I smoke?- No, can I smoke?- No, you're too young.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43A little boy like you should be learning to sing, not smoke.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Can you sing? - I can do the scales.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47All right, do the scales for me.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51# Do re mi fa so la ti do.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53That's not bad, but you must learn to hold a note.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Could you hold a note?- Certainly. - How long for?- As long as you can.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00LAUGHTER

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, I...

0:10:02 > 0:10:05APPLAUSE

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I tell you what, we'll have a little practice,

0:10:07 > 0:10:09see if you can hold a note for everybody here.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Now?- Yes, now.- OK.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Did you catch anything?- Caught something you've never seen before.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47Can you bring that fish on I caught this afternoon, please?

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Here she comes.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51AUDIENCE: Oh!

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Very nice indeed, yeah. 36, 24 and three and six a pound.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06LAUGHTER

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Where did you find it? - I didn't. I'm still looking for it.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10I can't find it.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15I think you're very lovely.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Mmm!

0:11:18 > 0:11:19But I think you have to go back.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Tell me, did you have a mother and father?- No.- No.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24No, she's an act of cod.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27LAUGHTER

0:11:27 > 0:11:30And thereby hangs a tale and all!

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Has she got a bone in her throat or something?- I don't know.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14I think it's your fault really

0:12:14 > 0:12:17because you're ven-treacle-twist, aren't you?

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I'm a ventriloquist. - Ven-trickle-ist.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Ventriloquist!

0:12:25 > 0:12:28How come she can say it and I can't?

0:12:28 > 0:12:29LAUGHTER

0:37:40 > 0:37:43I'd heard it before but I cannot say where,

0:37:43 > 0:37:45so I thought that the sound must be found.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50So I stopped and I looked and I listened

0:37:50 > 0:37:53and the sound seemed to come from the ground.

0:37:55 > 0:38:00Someone said, "Do." Someone said, "Don't."

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Someone said, "Will."

0:38:04 > 0:38:07Someone said, "Won't."
