0:02:45 > 0:02:48# Five, six, seven, eight...

0:02:48 > 0:02:55# When your ears start flapping and your kidneys quiver

0:02:55 > 0:02:59# Does your heart beat faster when you touch your toes?

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Be about ten years ago, I suppose.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16LAUGHTER

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Well, time flies, doesn't it?

0:20:20 > 0:20:25I went on the stage when I was a child, and everyone said I'd go far

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I travelled a lot

0:20:27 > 0:20:31But I never quite got to the heights that are reached by a star

0:20:31 > 0:20:35I learned how to act, how to sing, how to dance

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Cos doing anything else simply bored me

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Some people cheered, some people jeered

0:20:41 > 0:20:44And some just sat and ignored me...

0:20:44 > 0:20:46SHE SNIFFS

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- AUDIENCE:- Aww.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Shakespeare I tried, but it wasn't for me

0:20:53 > 0:20:56The critics were booing and hissing

0:20:56 > 0:20:59In Measure For Measure, I gave them no pleasure

0:20:59 > 0:21:01So, in Love's Labours Lost

0:21:01 > 0:21:02I went missing...

0:21:02 > 0:21:04LAUGHTER

0:21:06 > 0:21:08- I played Little Willy... - WHOOPING

0:21:08 > 0:21:11I did! In East Lynne, you know.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16Well, I get to the bit where he dies, you see

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Then someone yelled, "Mouse!" from the front of the house

0:21:20 > 0:21:22And I landed up in the flies

0:21:25 > 0:21:29Then... Well, for a stunt, I was shot from a cannon

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Oh, dear!

0:21:30 > 0:21:33They fired and I started to shiver

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I did a great curve and then I lost my nerve

0:21:37 > 0:21:40and I landed headfirst in the river...

0:21:40 > 0:21:41LAUGHTER

0:21:41 > 0:21:44No, I can't leave the theatre

0:21:44 > 0:21:46It runs in me blood

0:21:46 > 0:21:49In this game, you've got to have guts

0:21:49 > 0:21:54I found my right sphere - I stand at the rear

0:21:54 > 0:21:56And I sell oranges, apples and nuts.

0:21:56 > 0:21:57LAUGHTER

0:21:57 > 0:21:59FANFARE

0:21:59 > 0:22:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:01 > 0:22:04All right, Len? You all right?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Actually, though, you know, it's funny because,

0:22:11 > 0:22:14when I first went on the stage,...

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- You know, I come from Lancashire. You know I come from...?- Yeah.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19You can tell I'm from Lancashire?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22That's why I speak like I do.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I can't help it, speaking like I do.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Well, anyway, my mother wanted me to train to be a ballet dancer.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Yes, you know, all that going around on your tip toes.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35WHOOPING

0:22:35 > 0:22:37I don't understand ballet dancing.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40They should get people the right height to begin with,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- don't you think? - LAUGHTER

0:22:45 > 0:22:49Anyway, I went to London and I started to change my name,

0:22:49 > 0:22:52because I couldn't see it in lights. You know what my real name is?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54It's Dora May Broadbent.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56It is!

0:22:56 > 0:23:02Well, it doesn't look right, does it? No. Dora May Broadbent, no.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05So I thought, "Well, Bryan, that's a nice name."

0:23:05 > 0:23:07You know, B for "beautiful".

0:23:07 > 0:23:09R for "ravishing".

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Y for "youthful".

0:23:11 > 0:23:12LAUGHTER

0:23:12 > 0:23:14A for "adorable".

0:23:14 > 0:23:17And N for "nobody's going to believe a word of it".

0:23:17 > 0:23:19LAUGHTER

0:23:19 > 0:23:20It's a shame, isn't it?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Lots of people have changed their names, you know?

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Yes, I thought of Florence Olivier.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26LAUGHTER

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Winifred... Winnifred Pickles, that's rather nice.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36Enid Humperdinck.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39LAUGHTER

0:23:39 > 0:23:42You know, there's lots, isn't there?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Do you ever remember Lily Morris?

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Well, can you imagine if my mum had called me...

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Lily Broadbent?

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- SHE TUTS - Oh!

0:24:02 > 0:24:04# Gardening names are silly

0:24:29 > 0:24:33# Definitely absolutely Lily isn't me

0:24:33 > 0:24:37# Why did they call me Lily? They don't know what they did

0:24:37 > 0:24:40# They name a foal or filly more carefully than a kid

0:24:40 > 0:24:44# Have some consideration and have another go

0:24:44 > 0:24:46# Must it be vegetation?

0:24:46 > 0:24:48# Then why not Mistletoe?

0:24:48 > 0:24:52# A name that is kind and cosy A name that wears a smile

0:24:52 > 0:24:56# Peppermint, say, or Posy Or call me Chamomile

0:24:56 > 0:25:00# I'll answer too to Bubble Tenacity or Trouble

0:25:00 > 0:25:04# Or Butterfly or Alkali Or why not let me be?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13LAUGHTER

0:25:17 > 0:25:19No...

0:25:19 > 0:25:22# Well almost any name would do

0:25:22 > 0:25:24# Victoria or Waterloo

0:25:25 > 0:25:27# But Lily

0:25:27 > 0:25:32# Is not for me. #

0:34:31 > 0:34:35Standing here, this evening - here, in this magnificent...

0:34:35 > 0:34:36shed.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25It always blows your hat off, does it?

0:35:28 > 0:35:29I know the feeling.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Oh, I'll have to get rid of this. Now...

0:35:32 > 0:35:35Will you take it, please? I've been up the pole all day.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say

0:35:38 > 0:35:40how...how ju-jubilified... Standing here, I knew, tonight,

0:35:40 > 0:35:42I knew it was going to be a wonderful jubilee occasion,

0:35:42 > 0:35:45and I'd like to say, ladies, what a beautiful day!

0:35:45 > 0:35:47What a beautiful day for putting your bustle on back-to-front

0:35:47 > 0:35:49and frightening the life out of your husband.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55I knew this was going to be a jubilee occasion as soon as I came

0:35:55 > 0:35:58on because half the audience are lit up.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00Just once, just once in every...

0:36:04 > 0:36:07..quarter of a century, once in very quarter of a century,

0:36:07 > 0:36:09a moment like this happens - a theatrical moment

0:36:09 > 0:36:13when artist and audience sort of blend together

0:36:13 > 0:36:16in an absolutely momentous occasion.

0:36:16 > 0:36:21Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. But, still, never mind.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23I mean, you were probably saying...

0:36:23 > 0:36:25You're probably sitting there amazed, as I am,

0:36:25 > 0:36:27standing up here, looking at you.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31You're probably saying, "Why are we all here?"

0:36:31 > 0:36:32Why are we all here?

0:36:32 > 0:36:36Because we're not all there, that's why!

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Ladies and gentlemen, you're probably wondering

0:36:38 > 0:36:39why we sent for you.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Well, it's like this, you see...

0:36:42 > 0:36:45The audience here this evening have all been specially selected

0:36:45 > 0:36:50specially from people who can't afford to buy new clothes.

0:36:55 > 0:36:56It's like...

0:37:23 > 0:37:25Put it away, sir.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30I have been booked here this evening to raise titters.

0:37:30 > 0:37:35It's a funny sort of a job, I agree, but there you are.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37After all, missus, I mean, what is a laugh, love?

0:37:37 > 0:37:38What is a laugh?

0:37:38 > 0:37:42A laugh is a noise that comes out of a hole in your face.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Anywhere else, you're in dead trouble.

0:37:48 > 0:37:49I could...

0:37:51 > 0:37:54I have prepared, ladies and gentlemen, I have prepared not one

0:37:54 > 0:37:55but three lectures.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Three lectures here for your edification, here, this evening.

0:37:58 > 0:37:59Three lectures.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01One - I could preach to you on the evils of strong drink,

0:38:01 > 0:38:03if I could think of any.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05Also, my second lecture is

0:38:05 > 0:38:06"Why I'm Becoming A Mormon",

0:38:06 > 0:38:09and my third is...

0:38:11 > 0:38:12APPLAUSE

0:38:16 > 0:38:18.."What Is Enjoyment?"

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Me, myself, personally speaking, I like going round

0:38:20 > 0:38:25depressing Irish terriers by speaking to them in Welsh.

0:38:25 > 0:38:26Our...

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Our dog, at home, his idea of enjoyment is to go round

0:38:30 > 0:38:31worrying sheep.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34He sits on the fence, shouting, "Mint sauce, mint sauce!"

0:38:38 > 0:38:42Animals have always believed in enjoying themselves.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45That's why you've never seen a tom cat going out to work.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47This is our enjoyment - the music hall, ladies and gentlemen!

0:38:47 > 0:38:48The music hall -

0:38:48 > 0:38:51where Harry Champion invented the sparking plug,

0:38:51 > 0:38:53and where big strapping girls in black tights...

0:38:53 > 0:38:54- AUDIENCE MEMBER:- Ooh...

0:38:54 > 0:38:55Eh?!

0:39:03 > 0:39:04Control yourself!

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Big strapping...

0:39:10 > 0:39:13big strapping girls in black stockings can-canned

0:39:13 > 0:39:17or can't-can'ted, according to their personal whims.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Missus, you see, this, love, this is an educational show, tonight.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22This is an educational show. When you go out of here tonight

0:39:22 > 0:39:24you'll say, "Well, that's taught me a lesson."

0:39:27 > 0:39:31I am full of fantastic and futile facts. For instance...

0:39:35 > 0:39:40Did you know that if the Earth was to suddenly stop spinning, now,

0:39:40 > 0:39:43the Taj Mahal would hit you right in the back of the neck?

0:39:43 > 0:39:46You did. Oh, well... Tonight,

0:39:46 > 0:39:48friends, we shall be asking mind-boggling questions like,

0:39:48 > 0:39:50"where do flies go in the winter time?"

0:39:50 > 0:39:53And what are the tailors going to do about it?

0:39:55 > 0:39:56I mean...

0:39:58 > 0:40:00They say an elephant never forgets.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03I've never had a birthday card from one, have you?

0:40:03 > 0:40:06You see, folks, we very often, in these audiences,

0:40:06 > 0:40:07here, at The Good Old Days,

0:40:07 > 0:40:10we very often get a lot of intellectuals in the audience.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Not tonight, of course. But...

0:40:12 > 0:40:14Not that there's anything wrong with this audience,

0:40:14 > 0:40:17that a good, swift kick in it wouldn't cure. In fact,

0:40:17 > 0:40:19I would like to place this on record - would you mind?

0:40:19 > 0:40:22Would you take this down in double writing, please?

0:40:22 > 0:40:24This is the best-looking audience

0:40:24 > 0:40:27I have ever had the honour of playing to!

0:40:27 > 0:40:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:31 > 0:40:36And I shall mention this to the optician tomorrow morning...

0:40:36 > 0:40:39Now, we've had numerous requests for a song, this evening.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42And I'd like to sing because, as you know, I have had my voice trained.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45- COUGHS - They put newspapers down for it.

0:40:45 > 0:40:47And I'd like to...

0:40:47 > 0:40:48sing you...

0:40:49 > 0:40:50..a beautiful baritone song,
