06:11this is Joan Thurkettle
06:16news of 10
06:17there is growing concern at Buckingham Palace about the hereditary shrinking disease which is affecting the royal family
06:39apparently it is now possible to fit four of them into one pram
06:43the GPO today unveiled Tom
06:49its new speaking cock service
06:51and commenting on last week's disclosures about overcrowding in prisons
06:57Mrs. Thatcher says that long-term inmates should be given the opportunity to buy their own selves
07:03and in part two we have exclusive film of Britain's latest transplant donor
07:08well hello and tonight I'm talking to Billy Connolly
07:23a well-known Scottish comedian
07:25Billy I understand that when you first came to England
07:31people had a lot of trouble understanding your accent
07:35people had a lot of trouble understanding your accent
07:38is that right?
07:39sorry?
07:40brad? brad? brad? brad?
07:45brad?
07:46brad?
07:47can we have the brad's parents now please?
07:49brad?
08:02brad?
08:06Bye.
08:07Thanks for coming.
08:08Bye.
08:09Say hello.
08:10Bye.
08:11Bye.
08:12Bye.
08:36Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
08:41It's a week since my last confession.
08:44Father?
08:45Are you there, Father?
08:47Father Patrick is out at the moment.
08:49You can leave your confession by speaking clearly through the door.
08:52And he'll forgive you when he gets back.
08:55Please speak after the tone.
08:57I'm a gay Christian.
09:01No, it's all right.
09:03I mean, I don't mind.
09:04I don't mind at all.
09:05And if homosexuality is your thing, if that's the bag you're into, then that's great.
09:15Fantastic.
09:16I mean, don't be ashamed.
09:21Whatever you do, I mean, stand up.
09:23Come out of the toilet, as the phrase has it.
09:30And stand up and say, I am tempted to be a homosexual.
09:41And you may even decide after much prayer to enter into a committed and tempted relationship with a member of the same genital group.
09:59And if you do, and you feel you can do nothing about it, and you've been to a psychiatrist, and you've had aversion therapy, and you've tried tying metal wits to your private house, and you still feel these tendencies, then I'm afraid it means that God just wants you to have a rotten life.
10:24God just proves how blind and stupid Dennis and his party are.
10:34You know, I wonder if you know anything about economics at all.
10:37Mr. Robbins, your view?
10:38Well, now that Michael has allowed me to get a word in, I must say I've never heard such rubbish, and to think that this man is in the government is quite frightened.
10:44I resent that snide remark.
10:45It's exactly the kind of thing I have come to expect from your kind of politician.
10:48My kind of politician?
10:49If only the public knew to what depth some people would stoop when they enter the house.
10:52This, this is the kind, this is the kind of politician who will, will be greatly missed.
11:04A great, a great parliamentarian of our time, and a close personal friend.
11:12I am heartless.
11:13that's perfect
11:14maths
11:16та
11:28It's something on your standing, some people called him mad, but any friend on Hitler's can't have been oh bad.
11:37Handsome as Richard Burton
11:39Cos I've seen him on the box once with his black shirt on
11:44And though I cannot claim to be any great authority
11:49As far as I'm concerned, the sun shone out of his orat tree
11:54We've got another great dictator, given half a chance
11:59But they treat him like a traitor, so he went to live in France
12:07Baronet, Oswald, Arnold, Mosley
12:10Baronet, Oswald, Arnold, Mosley
12:15This is what the papers all say
12:17Genuinely genius, Australian, the unemployed and other underdogs
12:21Dynamic and handsome, popular, gifted and a natural leader
12:26Brilliant man in the commons, compassionate and humane
12:30A man of genuine courage, turning for a leadership
12:35Thought to have been the most handsome and gifted British political leader of the 20th century
12:41Brilliant debater, gifted, lucid and compassionate
12:44he was
13:11Square bashing can be a pretty dirty job, as any caring sergeant major knows.
13:20So we offered to do the army's washing for a week.
13:24We washed the Durham Light Inventory in New Biological Zack.
13:29And the Brigade of Guards in another well-known brand.
13:35And the results speak for themselves.
13:41APPLAUSE
13:53Now, look!
13:55Oh, Brickshaw, it's you.
13:57I've just been informed that you have arbitrarily terminated the employment of Brother Jameson in the print room.
14:03Is this true, Rogsley? He was...
14:04Without, I might add, any consultation whatsoever with either the convener, the Joint Shop Stewards Committee or myself.
14:12Why was this man dismissed, Rogsley?
14:14He was dead, sir.
14:17Dead?
14:18Yes, he was found dead at his machine.
14:23How did he die?
14:25Peacefully in his sleep.
14:27I have the death certificate here.
14:30Well, I really can't see the problem. I mean, if Jameson's dead, then we really...
14:32Not officially.
14:34Look, it quite categorically states in the Working Practices Manual, death shall be deemed to have occurred when and only when rigor mortis takes place.
14:44I thought we'd agreed on brain death.
14:45No, if you remember, sir, the union felt that brain death might prejudice the status of their living members.
14:51Oh.
14:53Well, so how long ago did this man die?
14:56Brother Jameson became subject to involuntary immorabilisation about 18 weeks ago.
15:0318 weeks?!
15:04Could Lord rigor mortis must have set him by now?
15:06Well, it hasn't.
15:08No, sir. Mr Brickshaw had the body strapped to one of the central heating radiators.
15:11Frickshaw, safety reasons, I'm afraid, I could not allow my members to take the risk of slipping in the ooze that was emanating from my member.
15:21Ooze?!
15:22Oh, my God, the body must be absolute!
15:23Oh, and that's another thing.
15:25We'll need complete sets of breathing apparatus in the print room, new air conditioning and, I would suggest, triple wages for Brother Jameson,
15:33who throughout this difficult period has been available for work on a three-shift basis.
15:38Well, there's one more thing.
15:40What's that?
15:41Could he have next Thursday afternoon off?
15:50Have you got the torque wrench, Bob?
15:51No, no, Bob.
15:53I think Bob's got it.
15:54Bob?
15:55Yes, Bob?
15:56Have you got Bob's torque wrench?
15:58No, Bob, I haven't.
15:59Hasn't Bob got it?
16:00No, Bob, I haven't.
16:01Oh, hang on, hang on.
16:02Bob's got it.
16:03Bob?
16:04Yes, Bob?
16:05Bob says you've got the torque wrench.
16:06Bob?
16:07No, Bob.
16:08Oh, sorry, Bob.
16:09Bob's got it.
16:10Bob?
16:11Yes, Bob?
16:12No, not you, Bob.
16:13Bob?
16:14Bob, have you got Bob's torque wrench?
16:15No, Bob.
16:16Bob must have it.
16:17Bob!
16:18Oh, look, Bob, you said you had it down here.
16:21Bob, I've never had it yesterday.
16:23I'm letting you go, Bob.
16:25Can you ask Bob for a down?
16:27Bob.
16:28The new BL Ambassador.
16:29And built by Roberts.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Move, Bob.
16:34Go.
16:35You gave me.
16:35Cheers.
16:36Go away.
16:37Come on.
16:38Sometimes he is pronto for money.
16:39Come on.
16:40Then we'll go where he's origami.
16:41Follow me, then.
16:42Oh, wait.
16:43Please let me.
16:44Ariel!
16:48laughs
16:50.
16:53Excuse me, madam.
17:09I've got reason to believe you've been shoplifted.
17:12That's a dreadful lie. How dare you?
17:23We apologise for the late arrival of the 1430 from York.
17:36And for the very, very late arrival of the 1820 of the 1430 from London.
17:42And a British Rail Catering Manager has been dismissed
17:45after he was caught loading a train
17:47with more than the regulation amount of sausage rolls.
17:50Mr. Kurt Waldheim has decided to resign as head of the United Nations
17:58so that he can concentrate on running his brother-in-law's launderette.
18:03And as the tension mounts for Ginny Carter,
18:06his doctors warn him to cut down on his daily intake of tranquilizers.
18:10I said, wait, there's someone here from Mishla.
18:19From Mishla?
18:20Well, over there in the corner.
18:29Which one?
18:30Do you want your kids to glow in the dark?
18:47Then move to Windscale.
18:49And who's this little fella, then?
18:59This is Shane Edmonds from 3B.
19:01Shane, this is the chairman of the Board of Governors.
19:03Well, now, Shane, what do you want to do when you grow up?
19:06Nothing.
19:06Nothing?
19:07Nothing.
19:07Nothing, except going to discos, hanging around pubs,
19:12drink, making lots of money.
19:14Ah.
19:16Well, nothing changes to me.
