MUSIC: The Sandow Girl

# Oh, the...

0:00:400:00:43

# Sandow, Sandow girl

0:00:430:00:46

# Oh the Sandow, Sandow girl

0:00:460:00:49

# She's...

0:00:490:00:51

# Smooth and slim and supple

0:00:510:00:54

# And compared with any couple of other girls

0:00:540:01:00

# The Sandow, Sandow girl

0:01:000:01:04

# Is a priceless, peerless pearl

0:01:040:01:08

# Even Sandow, I think

0:01:080:01:11

# Would be frightened to wink

0:01:110:01:12

# At his Sandow girl... #

0:01:120:01:16

Now if your limbs are listless

0:01:520:01:54

And your spirits start to fall

0:01:540:01:56

Then this is the advice

0:01:560:01:58

That I would give to one and all.

0:01:580:02:02

# Is your breathing poor?

0:02:080:02:10

# Are your muscles weak?

0:02:100:02:11

# Does your stomach sag?

0:02:110:02:13

# Do you lack technique?

0:02:130:02:16

# There's no need to be a clinging vine

0:02:160:02:19

# You too can have a body like mine

0:02:190:02:22

# Are your spirits low?

0:02:220:02:24

# Do you tend to moan?

0:02:240:02:26

# Are you claustrophobic when you're all alone?

0:02:260:02:29

# If you feel a tingling up and down your spine

0:02:300:02:34

# You too can have a body like mine

0:02:340:02:38

# One, two, three, four...

0:02:380:02:41

# Now's the time to loosen up your liver

0:02:410:02:45

# Five, six, seven, eight...

0:02:450:02:48

# When your ears start flapping and your kidneys quiver

0:02:480:02:55

# Does your heart beat faster when you touch your toes?

0:02:550:02:59

# Do your fingers twitch when you thumb your nose?

0:02:590:03:03

# If your metatarsals are in sad decline

0:03:030:03:06

# You too can have a body like mine. #

CHEERING AND WHISTLING

0:19:530:19:54

SHE GIGGLES

0:19:540:19:56

I like the way it goes in, don't you?

0:19:560:19:58

Goes in again on Friday. Yes, well...

0:19:580:20:02

Actually, I do have a little monologue for you tonight.

0:20:020:20:05

And it really tells the story of my life.

0:20:050:20:09

Because, you see, I went on the stage when I was 12.

0:20:090:20:13

Be about ten years ago, I suppose.

0:20:130:20:15

LAUGHTER

0:20:150:20:16

Well, time flies, doesn't it?

0:20:160:20:18

I went on the stage when I was a child, and everyone said I'd go far

0:20:200:20:25

I travelled a lot

0:20:250:20:27

But I never quite got to the heights that are reached by a star

0:20:270:20:31

I learned how to act, how to sing, how to dance

0:20:310:20:35

Cos doing anything else simply bored me

0:20:350:20:38

Some people cheered, some people jeered

0:20:380:20:41

And some just sat and ignored me...

0:20:410:20:44

SHE SNIFFS

0:20:440:20:46

-AUDIENCE:

-Aww.

0:20:460:20:48

Shakespeare I tried, but it wasn't for me

0:20:500:20:53

The critics were booing and hissing

0:20:530:20:56

In Measure For Measure, I gave them no pleasure

0:20:560:20:59

So, in Love's Labours Lost

0:20:590:21:01

I went missing...

0:21:010:21:02

LAUGHTER

0:21:020:21:04

-I played Little Willy...

-WHOOPING

0:21:060:21:08

I did! In East Lynne, you know.

0:21:080:21:11

Well, I get to the bit where he dies, you see

0:21:120:21:16

Then someone yelled, "Mouse!" from the front of the house

0:21:160:21:20

And I landed up in the flies

0:21:200:21:22

Then... Well, for a stunt, I was shot from a cannon

0:21:250:21:29

Oh, dear!

0:21:290:21:30

They fired and I started to shiver

0:21:300:21:33

I did a great curve and then I lost my nerve

0:21:340:21:37

and I landed headfirst in the river...

0:21:370:21:40

LAUGHTER

0:21:400:21:41

No, I can't leave the theatre

0:21:410:21:44

It runs in me blood

0:21:440:21:46

In this game, you've got to have guts

0:21:460:21:49

I found my right sphere - I stand at the rear

0:21:490:21:54

And I sell oranges, apples and nuts.

0:21:540:21:56

LAUGHTER

0:21:560:21:57

FANFARE

0:21:570:21:59

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:590:22:01

All right, Len? You all right?

0:22:010:22:04

Actually, though, you know, it's funny because,

0:22:080:22:11

when I first went on the stage,...

0:22:110:22:14

-You know, I come from Lancashire. You know I come from...?

-Yeah.

0:22:140:22:17

You can tell I'm from Lancashire?

0:22:170:22:19

That's why I speak like I do.

0:22:190:22:22

I can't help it, speaking like I do.

0:22:220:22:25

Well, anyway, my mother wanted me to train to be a ballet dancer.

0:22:250:22:29

Yes, you know, all that going around on your tip toes.

0:22:310:22:33

WHOOPING

0:22:330:22:35

I don't understand ballet dancing.

0:22:350:22:37

They should get people the right height to begin with,

0:22:370:22:40

-don't you think?

-LAUGHTER

0:22:400:22:42

Anyway, I went to London and I started to change my name,

0:22:450:22:49

because I couldn't see it in lights. You know what my real name is?

0:22:490:22:52

It's Dora May Broadbent.

0:22:520:22:54

It is!

0:22:550:22:56

Well, it doesn't look right, does it? No. Dora May Broadbent, no.

0:22:560:23:02

So I thought, "Well, Bryan, that's a nice name."

0:23:020:23:05

You know, B for "beautiful".

0:23:050:23:07

R for "ravishing".

0:23:070:23:09

Y for "youthful".

0:23:090:23:11

LAUGHTER

0:23:110:23:12

A for "adorable".

0:23:120:23:14

And N for "nobody's going to believe a word of it".

0:23:140:23:17

LAUGHTER

0:23:170:23:19

It's a shame, isn't it?

0:23:190:23:20

Lots of people have changed their names, you know?

0:23:200:23:22

Yes, I thought of Florence Olivier.

0:23:220:23:25

LAUGHTER

0:23:250:23:26

Winifred... Winnifred Pickles, that's rather nice.

0:23:290:23:33

Enid Humperdinck.

0:23:350:23:36

LAUGHTER

0:23:360:23:39

You know, there's lots, isn't there?

0:23:390:23:42

Do you ever remember Lily Morris?

0:23:420:23:44

Well, can you imagine if my mum had called me...

0:23:440:23:48

Lily Broadbent?

0:23:480:23:49

-SHE TUTS

-Oh!

Shut it!

0:34:150:34:17

First of all, ladies and gentlemen,

0:34:180:34:20

I'd like to say how tickled I am, missus!

0:34:200:34:24

How, how...

0:34:240:34:25

How tickled I am, under the circumstances.

0:34:270:34:31

Standing here, this evening - here, in this magnificent...

0:34:310:34:35

shed.

0:34:350:34:36

This...

0:34:390:34:40

this fantastic, Victorian doss-house...

0:34:400:34:45

and seeing you all here, gathered - nay...

0:34:450:34:48

..assembled...

0:34:490:34:50

..even congregated, perhaps even const...

0:34:520:34:54

Seeing you all here, this evening.

0:34:540:34:56

Here, tonight, I've got my massive tickling stick. Here we go.

0:34:560:35:00

Geronimo!

0:35:030:35:04

Who's going to...?

0:35:070:35:08

Full thrust!

0:35:130:35:14

By Jove!

0:35:140:35:16

So, love...

0:35:180:35:20

By Jove!

0:35:200:35:21

It always blows your hat off, does it?

0:35:230:35:25

I know the feeling.

0:35:280:35:29

Oh, I'll have to get rid of this. Now...

0:35:300:35:32

Will you take it, please? I've been up the pole all day.

0:35:320:35:35

First of all, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to say

0:35:350:35:38

how...how ju-jubilified... Standing here, I knew, tonight,

0:35:380:35:40

I knew it was going to be a wonderful jubilee occasion,

0:35:400:35:42

and I'd like to say, ladies, what a beautiful day!

0:35:420:35:45

What a beautiful day for putting your bustle on back-to-front

0:35:450:35:47

and frightening the life out of your husband.

0:35:470:35:49

I knew this was going to be a jubilee occasion as soon as I came

0:35:520:35:55

on because half the audience are lit up.

0:35:550:35:58

Just once, just once in every...

0:35:580:36:00

..quarter of a century, once in very quarter of a century,

0:36:040:36:07

a moment like this happens - a theatrical moment

0:36:070:36:09

when artist and audience sort of blend together

0:36:090:36:13

in an absolutely momentous occasion.

0:36:130:36:16

Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. But, still, never mind.

0:36:160:36:21

I mean, you were probably saying...

0:36:210:36:23

You're probably sitting there amazed, as I am,

0:36:230:36:25

standing up here, looking at you.

0:36:250:36:27

You're probably saying, "Why are we all here?"

0:36:290:36:31

Why are we all here?

0:36:310:36:32

Because we're not all there, that's why!

0:36:320:36:36

Ladies and gentlemen, you're probably wondering

0:36:360:36:38

why we sent for you.

0:36:380:36:39

Well, it's like this, you see...

0:36:390:36:42

The audience here this evening have all been specially selected

0:36:420:36:45

specially from people who can't afford to buy new clothes.

0:36:450:36:50

It's like...

0:36:550:36:56

Really, it's...

0:36:560:36:58

No!

0:36:580:36:59

APPLAUSE

0:36:590:37:01

It's like performing at a rummage sale!

0:37:040:37:07

Ladies and gentlemen, we have with us this evening

0:37:100:37:13

several of our glorious soldiers,

0:37:130:37:15

several members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces,

0:37:150:37:18

and a gentleman, over here, who has a military bearing...

0:37:180:37:21

Put it away, sir.

0:37:230:37:25

I have been booked here this evening to raise titters.

0:37:280:37:30

It's a funny sort of a job, I agree, but there you are.

0:37:300:37:35

After all, missus, I mean, what is a laugh, love?

0:37:350:37:37

What is a laugh?

0:37:370:37:38

A laugh is a noise that comes out of a hole in your face.

0:37:380:37:42

Anywhere else, you're in dead trouble.

0:37:420:37:44

I could...

0:37:480:37:49

I have prepared, ladies and gentlemen, I have prepared not one

0:37:510:37:54

but three lectures.

0:37:540:37:55

Three lectures here for your edification, here, this evening.

0:37:550:37:58

Three lectures.

0:37:580:37:59

One - I could preach to you on the evils of strong drink,

0:37:590:38:01

if I could think of any.

0:38:010:38:03

Also, my second lecture is

0:38:030:38:05

"Why I'm Becoming A Mormon",

0:38:050:38:06

and my third is...

0:38:060:38:09

APPLAUSE

0:38:110:38:12

.."What Is Enjoyment?"

0:38:160:38:18

Me, myself, personally speaking, I like going round

0:38:180:38:20

depressing Irish terriers by speaking to them in Welsh.

0:38:200:38:25

Our...

0:38:250:38:26

Our dog, at home, his idea of enjoyment is to go round

0:38:270:38:30

worrying sheep.

0:38:300:38:31

He sits on the fence, shouting, "Mint sauce, mint sauce!"

0:38:310:38:34

Animals have always believed in enjoying themselves.

0:38:380:38:42

That's why you've never seen a tom cat going out to work.

0:38:420:38:45

This is our enjoyment - the music hall, ladies and gentlemen!

0:38:450:38:47

The music hall -

0:38:470:38:48

where Harry Champion invented the sparking plug,

0:38:480:38:51

and where big strapping girls in black tights...

0:38:510:38:53

-AUDIENCE MEMBER:

-Ooh...

0:38:530:38:54

Eh?!

0:38:540:38:55

Control yourself!

0:39:030:39:04

Big strapping...

0:39:080:39:10

big strapping girls in black stockings can-canned

0:39:100:39:13

or can't-can'ted, according to their personal whims.

0:39:130:39:17

Missus, you see, this, love, this is an educational show, tonight.

0:39:170:39:19

This is an educational show. When you go out of here tonight

0:39:190:39:22

you'll say, "Well, that's taught me a lesson."

0:39:220:39:24

I am full of fantastic and futile facts. For instance...

0:39:270:39:31

Did you know that if the Earth was to suddenly stop spinning, now,

0:39:350:39:40

the Taj Mahal would hit you right in the back of the neck?

0:39:400:39:43

You did. Oh, well... Tonight,

0:39:430:39:46

friends, we shall be asking mind-boggling questions like,

0:39:460:39:48

"where do flies go in the winter time?"

0:39:480:39:50

And what are the tailors going to do about it?

0:39:500:39:53

I mean...

0:39:550:39:56

They say an elephant never forgets.

0:39:580:40:00

I've never had a birthday card from one, have you?

0:40:000:40:03

You see, folks, we very often, in these audiences,

0:40:030:40:06

here, at The Good Old Days,

0:40:060:40:07

we very often get a lot of intellectuals in the audience.

0:40:070:40:10

Not tonight, of course. But...

0:40:100:40:12

Not that there's anything wrong with this audience,

0:40:120:40:14

that a good, swift kick in it wouldn't cure. In fact,

0:40:140:40:17

I would like to place this on record - would you mind?

0:40:170:40:19

Would you take this down in double writing, please?

0:40:190:40:22

This is the best-looking audience

0:40:220:40:24

I have ever had the honour of playing to!

0:40:240:40:27

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:270:40:28

And I shall mention this to the optician tomorrow morning...

0:40:310:40:36

Now, we've had numerous requests for a song, this evening.

0:40:360:40:39

And I'd like to sing because, as you know, I have had my voice trained.

0:40:390:40:42

-COUGHS

-They put newspapers down for it.

0:40:420:40:45

And I'd like to...

0:40:450:40:47

sing you...

0:40:470:40:48

..a beautiful baritone song,

0:40:490:40:50

called - and I want you all to join in with me in singing Mistakes.

0:40:500:40:54

# We make mistakes and we worry

0:41:010:41:08

# All over nothing at all

0:41:080:41:13

# We make mistakes that bring heartaches

0:41:150:41:21

# And the teardrops fall like raindrops

0:41:210:41:28

# We make mistakes and feel sorry

0:41:280:41:35

# When we find someone new

0:41:350:41:42

# Ah, but I made the greatest mistake of all

0:41:420:41:49

# When I said goodbye to you. #

0:41:490:41:59

A triumphant fanfaronade

0:42:290:42:32

from the infallible

0:42:320:42:34

Players' Theatre!

0:42:340:42:37

# Right, right, right, right

0:42:430:42:44

# It's all right It's all right now

0:42:440:42:48

# There's no need to worry any more

0:42:480:42:51

# I saw the army wasn't strong

0:42:510:42:55

# Everything was wrong until the day I came along

0:42:550:42:58

# But then the band played They all hoorayed

0:42:580:43:02

# The guns fired a salvo of delight

0:43:020:43:05

# I joined the army yesterday

0:43:050:43:08

# So the army of today's all right

0:43:080:43:11

# There's something about a soldier There's something about a soldier

0:43:190:43:23

# There's something about a soldier that is fine, fine, fine

0:43:230:43:26

# He maybe a major general He maybe a sergeant major

0:43:260:43:29

# He maybe a simple private of the line, line, line

0:43:290:43:33

# But there's something about his bearing

0:43:330:43:34

# There's something in what he's wearing

0:43:340:43:37

# There's something about his buttons all a-shine, shine, shine

0:43:370:43:39

# Oh, a military chest seems to suit the ladies best

0:43:390:43:43

# There's something about a soldier that is fine, fine, fine

0:43:430:43:47

# When the man o' war or merchant ship comes sailing into port

0:44:240:44:28

# The jolly tar with joy will sing of land ahoy

0:44:280:44:32

# With a pocket full of money and a parrot in a cage

0:44:320:44:36

# He smiled at all the pretty girls upon the landing stage

0:44:360:44:39

# All the nice girls love a sailor

0:44:390:44:43

# All the nice girls love a tar

0:44:430:44:46

# For there's something about a sailor

0:44:460:44:50

# Well you know what sailors are

# Well I'm a bit of a ruin that Cromwell knocked about a bit

0:46:000:46:05

# One that Oliver Cromwell knocked about a bit

0:46:050:46:08

# In the gay old days there used to be some doings

0:46:080:46:12

# No wonder that the poor old abbey went to ruins

0:46:120:46:16
