CHEERING

0:03:580:04:00

Once again...

0:04:010:04:05

..good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

0:04:050:04:11

-AUDIENCE:

-Good evening!

0:04:110:04:14

-Heterogeneities...

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

0:04:140:04:18

..harmoniously homogenised...

0:04:180:04:21

I'm sorry.

0:04:210:04:22

..a herald harbinger of Highland hilarities...

0:04:240:04:28

Ooh!

0:04:280:04:30

..which, as you all know, means Scottish jokes.

0:04:300:04:32

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Hamish...McGillivray!

BAND PLAYS Stop Your Tickling, Jock

0:04:410:04:46

Do you want to hear me sing it again?

0:04:480:04:51

Good evening. And good evening to you, Mr Sachs.

0:04:510:04:55

And good evening to you!

0:04:550:04:57

Resplendent in that lovely chair. It's so commodious, isn't it?

0:04:570:05:00

Well, it's been a long day. At rehearsals today...

0:05:010:05:04

Rehearsals?! Ha!

0:05:040:05:06

..our producer, Mr Barney "Oh, Is It My Round?" Colehan, said...

0:05:060:05:10

A man of rare gifts. ..said, "What are you doing for us tonight,

0:05:120:05:17

"Waterman?" That's my pen name. He said, "What are you doing?

0:05:170:05:21

"What are you doing for us tonight?

0:05:210:05:22

"Are you showing us your little speciality?"

0:05:220:05:25

And I said, "No, I shall be in poetic mood, Mr Colehan,"

0:05:250:05:28

because today, ladies and gentlemen, is the 99th birthday

0:05:280:05:32

of the legendary but little-known Lowland poet Mungo Plinth.

0:05:320:05:37

He died when he was 32, but today would have been his 99th birthday.

0:05:370:05:42

He was in fact born in 1882.

0:05:420:05:46

Oh, I do like saying that. Would you like to join me in that?

0:05:460:05:48

-One, two, three... ALL, IN SCOTTISH ACCENT:

-1882!

0:05:480:05:51

Thank you for joining me in that number.

0:05:520:05:55

He was born in Auchtermuchty the same year that,

0:05:550:05:57

across the Channel, Dr Louis Pasteur was conducting his experiments

0:05:570:06:01

and discovering a cure for which there was no known disease.

0:06:010:06:04

And his... Nice to hear them again, isn't it?

0:06:040:06:08

His wife used to sit in a bath of milk to help Pasteur

0:06:100:06:14

with his experiments, and she used to shout...

0:06:140:06:17

..she used to shout, "Louis, do you want the milk up to my chest?"

0:06:180:06:21

And he used to say, "No, 'pasteurise'." Now...

0:06:210:06:23

But I digress. And that can be habit-forming.

0:06:250:06:27

APPLAUSE Oh! Thank you.

0:06:270:06:31

God bless you! I thought it was raining in. Anyway, I digress.

0:06:320:06:36

That can be habit-forming. Back to Mungo Plinth. You remember the plot.

0:06:360:06:38

He was born in Auchtermuchty, a well-known watering place.

0:06:380:06:43

YOU try saying it! Sorry, dear, I splashed you.

0:06:430:06:45

And his father was the local doctor, and Mungo used to help him.

0:06:450:06:49

He used to sit outside the surgery and make people sick.

0:06:490:06:51

And from a very early age, he had a poetic bent.

0:06:510:06:56

But...

0:06:570:06:59

..his father treated it,

0:06:590:07:00

and once again he was able to ride his bicycle.

0:07:000:07:04

He had a maiden aunt who lived in Pitlochry.

0:07:040:07:06

He used to call her Auntie Macassar,

0:07:060:07:08

because she was usually spread over the chaise longue.

0:07:080:07:11

And she was a bit of a lady, a bit of a...

0:07:110:07:15

Yeah, well, for the gentlemen. And he wrote this poem dedicated to her.

0:07:150:07:18

There was an old maid of Pitlochry

0:07:180:07:20

Whose morals were truly a mockery

0:07:200:07:23

For under the bed She'd a fella instead

0:07:230:07:25

Of the usual porcelain crockery.

0:07:250:07:27

APPLAUSE

0:07:270:07:29

Now, the surge in that poem... There's enough serge to make a suit.

0:07:330:07:37

It's amazing, that poem.

0:07:370:07:39

He moved to Glasgow and there met the love of his life,

0:07:390:07:41

Flora MacTavish. The love of his life.

0:07:410:07:44

Flora, known to everyone as Marge, because she...

0:07:440:07:46

..she spread easily, inspired Mungo...

0:07:490:07:51

..inspired Mungo to write the following.

0:07:530:07:56

Each time Lady Sutherland swoons

0:07:560:07:59

Her bosoms pop out like balloons

0:07:590:08:02

But her butler stands by With a gleam in his eye

0:08:020:08:05

And lifts them back in with warm spoons.

0:08:180:08:22

Ladies and gentlemen... HE LAUGHS

0:08:220:08:24

..they were beautiful words and beautiful drumming, but not as

0:08:250:08:29

beautiful words as those spoken by our own blessed Queen to her

# Why ever should it be

0:10:010:10:03

# That men at once make love to me?

0:10:030:10:06

# When they are near me, there they stand

0:10:060:10:08

# Their eyes look deep in mine

0:10:080:10:10

# They always kiss my hand

0:10:100:10:13

# Why ever should it be

0:10:130:10:15

# They speak of magic charms in me

0:10:150:10:18

# That no man can resist?

0:10:180:10:20

# For every time they look at me

0:10:200:10:23

# These charms persist

0:10:230:10:28

# But when the soft lights glint and glance

0:10:280:10:32

# As midnight hour goes by

0:10:320:10:35

# They hear me sing, they see me dance

0:10:350:10:38

# It's then that I know why

0:10:380:10:44

# On my lips, every kiss is like wine

0:10:440:10:51

# In my arms, love is more than divine

0:10:510:10:58

# It's engraved in the stars high above me

0:10:580:11:03

# Men must kiss me, men must love me

0:11:030:11:10

# When my feet haunting rhythms inspire

0:11:100:11:16

# In my eyes gleam the flames of desire

0:11:160:11:22

# When I dance, then I know fate's design

With the inexhaustibly advancing years, I stray more and more often

0:15:020:15:11

through the murky, gas-lit alleyways of the metropolis...

0:15:110:15:17

Awww!

0:15:170:15:19

..trawling for talent...

0:15:190:15:22

..where my latest discovery displayed to me all her gifts.

0:15:240:15:30

But she is very nervous.

0:15:300:15:32

It is her very first public appearance, and I ask for your

0:15:320:15:38

encouragement, for your delight, ladies and gentlemen,

0:15:380:15:43

for my...

LOUD AND OUT OF TUNE: # Popsy was a singer in a little revue

0:16:250:16:30

# Every night, they used to turn the limelight strong

0:16:350:16:39

# On someone's face as she sang her song

0:16:390:16:43

# Popsy loved her job, but every once in a while

0:16:440:16:48

# She thought it would be such bliss

0:16:480:16:52

# If the limelight would find A man both good and kind

0:16:520:16:56

# And he'd murmur something like this

-That's right, yes.

-What do you play?

0:37:040:37:07

Well, given a following wind,

-And if you haven't got a following wind?

-It's The Bells Of St Mary's.

0:37:120:37:15

0:38:190:38:22

Wouldn't you like to do My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean with us?

0:38:220:38:25

-A FEW PEOPLE:

-Yes!

-Well, that's three of 'em, anyway. Yes.

0:38:250:38:28

-Tell you what, tell 'em what you do on it.

-The modus operandi.

0:38:280:38:30

-Well, yes.

-The way we sing it. The first word beginning with

0:38:300:38:33

the letter B, ladies and gentlemen, you all stand up.

0:38:330:38:37

Stay there, and on the next word beginning with the letter B,

0:38:370:38:40

sit down. The first word, stand up, stay there. Next word...

0:38:400:38:43

And so on through the song. Words beginning with the letter B.
