00:00Hello again, another game called my bluff where the dice are loaded by Frank Muir
00:22My guests are Beauty and the Beast I suppose, but about the second half but the first certainly is a beauty and here back on the program again and none too soon, Gabriel Drake
00:41My next, not a beast really, is arguably one of the best three writers now writing humour in England
00:57and from the pages of Punch, Tatler, Daily Mirror and other journals too humorous to mention, we have plucked Alan Corrin
01:07And the thinking man's Eamon Andrews, Patrick Campbell
01:18And my first guess is a woman, is a female doctor, is the wife of Tom Stopper, the brilliant playwright, but her name is Miriam Stopper
01:36And we have here on the right, the Time Lord
01:46Not which, Doctor Who, Tom Baker
01:51We ring the bell and we get the first word, and as you recall, Rump tea, well that's the word
02:02Rump tea is going to be defined three different ways by Frank Muir, two of those, and Coe
02:08And two of those definitions are going to be false ones, one is true, and that's the one I think that Patrick and Coe are going to try and pick out
02:15So, what about this word, Frank?
02:17Rump tea, Rump tea is, thereby hangs no tail
02:24Because it's what an Englishman calls a Manx cat
02:30Rump tea, you see
02:33And thereby hangs no tail, because Manx cats don't have tail
02:40I'm not impressing him very much, am I?
02:43I say advisedly that it's the English word for a Manx cat, because actually the Manx people themselves call their cats a stubbin
02:54What a load of, next please
02:58Could be true, you never know
03:00Alan Corrin, your turn
03:02Very sentimental moment now, we have actually to go back to a time when instead of as it is now, the pound was a fraction of something else
03:10There were actually fractions of a pound, the pound was large enough to have small bits
03:14And what a Rump tea was, it was actually a 32nd part of a pound, a 7.5D, which was used by Victorian stockbrokers to denote ups and downs of the market
03:26As it were, they would say, I see Patagonian tramcars went up another Rump tea last night
03:32Gabriel Drake
03:38My one claim to fame is an uncle who's no less than a general in the British Army
03:43And he it was who first told me about Rump tea
03:47Because Rump tea is in fact army slang
03:49For a sort of army issue meat, which was issued to the officers in the First World War
03:57It was a mixture of sort of chopped ham and chicken
04:00And was considered vastly superior to bully beef
04:03Although apparently, according to my uncle, it was a lot more greasy
04:06Well, it's a special sort of mixture of meat, rather greasy for the officers
04:12It's a manx cat, and it's kind of broker's vernacular, that sort of thing
04:16Patrick, you'll go
04:17Yes, well, we
04:23If officers was noshing ham and chicken in the First World War
04:31I've got a little note here that says a tailor's cap, obviously, it would be tailor's cat
04:49Do you know how it's spelled?
04:52C-A-T-K-A-T
04:56But certainly isn't anything like that
05:00It'd be kind of stockbroker's chat coin
05:02That was Alan, yes, you said that
05:05Were you speaking the truth?
05:06No, I wish I hadn't
05:08Ka-chow
05:09Very hard to imagine it, but really stockbrokers did in those days speak of that kind of money as rumpty
05:23Here we have numbs
05:25Patrick's go
05:26If you could bear a little bit of a 1920 kind of chat, like the cat's whiskers
05:36She was the cat's whiskers
05:38She was talking about numbs, because numbs was an old cockney word for cat's whiskers
05:47A little wandering pussy
05:51You caught it by the back of the neck
05:55Held her up
05:58Snipped off the numbs
06:00She would stay at home
06:01Nums, cat's whiskers
06:03Thank you
06:04Tom Baker's go
06:07The geographical position of the numbs is 14 degrees 10 north
06:134 degrees 14 west
06:16Which puts it
06:17South west
06:20At the south western tip of the Minai Strait
06:22Between Anglesey and Wales
06:25I think probably for people who don't understand about navigation
06:29Any land lovers here would rather know that it's actually a very, very fierce section of water
06:34Which is the nightmare of any sea captain sailing his ship, say, four miles off Carnarvon
06:41Would be, wouldn't it, yes
06:43What is it?
06:45Yes
06:47He'd sooner go the long way round, I dare say
06:50Miriam Stoppard, your turn
06:52Well now, every dandy needs a numbs
06:55Because a numbs was an 18th century sartorial subterfuge
07:01Which we might in modern terms term a dicky
07:03It was a sham collar plus shirt front
07:07Which gentlemen, after a very busy day of social engagements
07:12And finding their shirts rather grubby
07:14And creased at the front
07:15Would put on this nice little white dicky you see
07:18And present a good face to the world
07:21Right, well it means
07:23It's a word for cat's whiskers
07:25It's a word for a false shirt front
07:27And it's a kind of rather dangerous bit of water
07:29Frank
07:31Had it been a navigation term
07:39I wouldn't have known about it
07:41So that's not very helpful
07:43It's a good start
07:46I can't read what I've put here
07:49A dicky, 18th century dicky
07:53I've never heard of that
07:55I know his mice should have done
07:57But I've never heard of the rushing water
08:00Cat's whiskers is absolute rubbish
08:03So it must be the cat's whiskers
08:05Ah, well
08:06It was Patrick who said that, wasn't it?
08:08Yes
08:08Oh, true or bluff
08:09Let's see now
08:11Here he comes
08:12Oh
08:14Nothing to do
08:20Nothing to do with the cat's whiskers
08:22Someone's got to own up now
08:23Here it comes
08:24Who gave the true one?
08:27Oh, it is
08:28Yes
08:28The false dicky or shirt front
08:35That's what it is
08:36True, Neil
08:37I say, I say
08:39That's not a bad word
08:41Trolleybobs
08:42Alan, your turn
08:43Nasty time
08:47It's a time actually to put the children to bed
08:48And the cat under the stairs
08:49And turn your faces away from the screen
08:51If you're of a nervous disposition
08:52Because trolleybobs
08:53Are the nastier bits and pieces of animals
08:57The pancreatic bits
09:00The odd bits of diseased liver
09:02The appendix
09:03All the sort of stuff you find in an animal
09:05Which aren't entirely edible
09:08But might be
09:08And may end up being fed to your cat or dog
09:12It's rather like Numbles
09:13From Humble Pie, you know
09:15It's bits and pieces of an animal
09:17Which have no use after the animal is dead
09:19But there they are
09:21Red and horrible
09:21Right
09:23Got to be called something
09:24Gabrielle, your turn
09:26No doubt your great grandmothers
09:29And great grandfathers
09:30Wouldn't have known exactly
09:31What trolleybobs was
09:32Because trolleybobs was a children's game
09:34And unfortunately
09:36The rules haven't come down now to us
09:39We do know though
09:40That it was best played on all fours
09:42It was played on a flat surface
09:44Like a paving stone
09:46Out of doors
09:47And usually they used to use
09:50Little round pebbles
09:51So I mean it was a game
09:53Available to the rich and the poor
09:55What a giant dog
09:57Well, that much was in its favour
10:00Wasn't it?
10:00Frank, your go
10:01Well, you come down the Menai Straits
10:04And carried by the tide
10:07And you eventually find Cornwall
10:09With a bit of luck
10:10You see
10:11And wrenching off your clothes
10:13And tearing off your numbs
10:15You plunge into the briny
10:18And start swimming
10:19And the longshoremen say
10:22Do we watch out?
10:25The accent is approximate
10:26Because they could have moved
10:29To Cornwall
10:30From another part of the country
10:31Do we watch out
10:33For the trolleybobs
10:35Which are jellyfish
10:37Well, it's one of those games
10:43It's some of those entrails
10:45And it's one of those jellyfish
10:46Tom Baker
10:47Well, I'm very impressed
10:50By Alan's suggestion
10:52That it was the droppings
10:56Of animals
10:57In nurseries
10:58Or in pancreatic juices
11:00Scattered about the place
11:01And I like Frank's notion
11:06About look out for the trolleybobs
11:09Which might be jellyfish
11:10Good
11:10But because I'm very impressionable
11:12And yours sounded plausible
11:15And so socially interesting
11:19I think it's a game for kids
11:21That was Gabrielle
11:23Now, were you teasing?
11:28Oh, is she
11:28Yeah, blood
11:31Who gave the true definition
11:37Of that interesting word?
11:39Well, I hate to bring
11:40All the nastiness up again
11:41But not the nastiness
11:43Yes, yes
11:43It's entrails
11:50No question about that
11:51Trolleybobs is entrails
11:52Are entrails
11:54Inconi we have next
11:56Tom Baker tells us what it means
11:57To begin with
11:58The pronunciation is inconei
12:02Inconei was an adjective
12:04That came flashing into prominence
12:07About 1600
12:08And lasted for some little time
12:10And caused some considerable stir
12:11And then quite
12:12Quite inexplicably
12:14It just
12:15Slid out of the general vocabulary
12:18Oh dear
12:18Which is a great tragedy
12:20And I think it was
12:22Christopher Marlowe
12:23Yes, I'm certain
12:24Now I come to consider it
12:25It was Christopher Marlowe
12:25In that soft porn poem
12:28The Jew of Malta
12:29Who quoted
12:31Who used it so beautifully
12:32I think
12:33He said
12:33Love me little
12:35Love me long
12:37Let music rumble
12:38While I
12:40In thy
12:41Inkeny lap
12:42Do tumble
12:43And the meaning is
12:45I don't think we wish to know
12:47Fine
12:47Soft
12:49Gentle
12:50Alluring
12:51From 1600
12:53Yes
12:54Thank you
12:55Your scansion was never Marlowe's strong point
12:59Miriam Stoppard
13:00Your turn
13:00Well now
13:01You historians of the culinary arts
13:03Will recognise the word immediately
13:05Because of course
13:05It was a Tudor word
13:07For carving fish
13:09But Tudor English
13:12Being richer than English
13:13At the present time
13:14They had several words
13:16For carving
13:18For the appropriate sort of fish
13:20So for instance
13:21One would
13:21Chine a salmon
13:23Or culpen
13:24A trout
13:25Or scar
13:27A bream
13:28And
13:28Inkeny
13:29Was the word that was used
13:31When you attacked a pike
13:32With your fish carver
13:34Yep
13:36A pike
13:36Yep
13:37Why not
13:38Patrick
13:39His go
13:40He tells us now
13:41You'll find that Inkeny
13:44Is absolutely awful
13:45Terror
13:47Dread
13:48Nameless fears
13:49It's the kind of thing
13:53That appears
13:53You can't see it
13:54You can't even smell it
13:57You can't even hear it come
13:59But Inkeny
14:01Is a fearful kind of
14:03Invisible demon
14:04By the back of the neck
14:10It's a kind of nameless dread
14:14Oh yeah
14:18Well
14:19And it's a kind of
14:20Invisible demon
14:21He said
14:22It means something
14:23Fine or delicate
14:24And it's a special
14:26Tudor word
14:26For carving a pike
14:28Alan Corrin
14:29Tom
14:31It came in in 1600
14:33Or it went out in 1600
14:34Well I can't be
14:35Absolutely certain about that
14:37It was
14:37I think it was before
14:39But it was quite
14:40It was around 1600
14:42There are millions of people
14:43Out there
14:43Who expect us to know
14:44Our Marlow inside out
14:45And we reckon
14:46That the Jew of Mord
14:47Having been written in 1587
14:49Inkeny probably wasn't in it
14:51Anyway
14:51It's a terrible word
14:52You can see why
14:54He was stabbed in the tavern
14:55If he was using stuff like that
14:57The critics would have
14:57I don't think it's that
15:00I am very doubtful
15:01About the thing
15:02That frightens Patrick
15:03Nothing I feel
15:04That frightens Patrick
15:05Whether you can smell
15:06Or see it
15:06Or whatever else
15:07I am inclined to go
15:09Was it a verb
15:10That you
15:11Or was it a thing
15:12For carving pike
15:12No it was a verb
15:14The way that one does it
15:15It's a funny verb
15:16Isn't it
15:16They had funny words
15:18In Tudor English
15:18I think it's Patrick's fear
15:21It was Patrick
15:22The phantom
15:23He said he was kind of
15:24Nameless dread
15:25Phantom
15:25That kind of thing
15:26Are we telling the truth lad
15:27Always happy
15:30Not for a minute
15:32Nothing to do
15:39No
15:39Nothing of that sort
15:40Someone else
15:41Must own up now
15:42Is it searching around here
15:44Who gave the true one
15:44Someone has
15:45Yes
15:45Here it is
15:46But who's got it
15:48You posted it down the hole
15:49Oh this is to drag the drama out
15:51Intolerably
15:52He's got it there
15:53Don't give it to him
15:54It's the first time
15:55Give it to me
15:57I'll be sorry
15:58You mustn't give it to me
16:06You know
16:06People will talk
16:07If we do that
16:08So actually
16:10The true definition
16:10Was fine and delicate
16:12And so forth
16:12I don't know all about that
16:14And Marlow and so forth
16:15But the actual
16:15The definition was the true one
16:17No question
16:17Toggy's the next one
16:19Gabrielle
16:19If I ever went
16:22For a stroll
16:23Around the North Pole
16:24Being a very cold person
16:26I'd be very thankful
16:28I had my toggy on
16:29Because in fact
16:31A toggy
16:33Is a nice thick
16:35Heavy overcoat
16:36Not very fashionable
16:38Or beautiful
16:39It's made of patches
16:41Of reindeer skin
16:43And it's
16:44In short
16:45It's an overcoat
16:46That's worn
16:47In the Arctic regions
16:48Yes
16:50Frank you're going
16:52A toggy
16:54Is a
16:54Is a long
16:56Thin pole
16:57At the top
16:58Of which
16:59Spasmodically
17:00There's a window
17:01And at the bottom
17:02Of which
17:03The south end
17:04You might say
17:05Stands a chap
17:07Called a knocker-upper
17:08And a knocker-upper
17:10Used to walk
17:11Around the streets
17:12Of mining towns
17:14And industrial towns
17:15And knock up
17:16The people
17:17At half as five
17:18In the morning
17:18Or something
17:18To say
17:18Don't get up
17:19And he'd go
17:20Tunk, tunk, tunk
17:21With his stick
17:22His toggy
17:23Because it had to reach
17:25To the bedroom window
17:25So it's a long
17:27Pardon
17:29Yes
17:29I want to bang on the window
17:32Yes
17:32Right
17:33Alan
17:33Well our side
17:35Had problems with this
17:36Because if any of you
17:37Is an old Harovian
17:38You'll know immediately
17:39What it was
17:40Because it's old Harrow slang
17:41We rather thought
17:41That Miriam might well be an old
17:43Other two are clearly Bulgarians
17:45A very simple piece
17:47Of Harovian slang
17:49It just means a swat
17:50Over-industrious boy
17:52Won't say
17:54There's not much more
17:55You could say after that
17:56No
17:57It's a swat
17:57Knocker-ups pole
17:59And a coat you'd wear
18:00In very cold weather
18:01In the Arctic particularly
18:03Miriam
18:03Well
18:05I don't know
18:06It's fair to say
18:07Yes
18:08Yes
18:08It's fair to say
18:08We all don't know
18:09Yes
18:10A fair bluff
18:11Well
18:12It certainly does sound
18:15Like a slang word Frank
18:16You know
18:17The pole
18:18The elongated barber's pole
18:20For knocking people up
18:21In the morning
18:22Sounds like that true
18:23And it sounds also
18:24The sort of word
18:25That might be used at school
18:26For a swat
18:28But
18:29I'm attracted to
18:31The polar overcoat
18:34The reindeer skin job
18:36You're going to choose that
18:38Are you right here
18:38You are
18:39Are you well advised
18:41Now Gabrielle will own up
18:42And tell you
18:43Was it the Arctic overcoat
18:45It's true
18:46It is
18:47Yes
18:51Not clear who calls them toggies
18:57I don't know whether the Eskimos
18:58Or the people who visit there
19:00Dr Stoppard does
19:01Dr Stoppard certainly does
19:03Yes
19:03She knows what's what
19:04So here we have
19:05O-B-E-S
19:07But I don't know how you pronounce it
19:08O-B-O-B-E
19:09O-B-E-Miriam
19:10Well now
19:12If you'd been at Runnymede
19:13About the time
19:14Of the signing
19:15Of the Magna Carta
19:15You might have come
19:16Sleepily out of your tent
19:17And said
19:18Lo it is Obe
19:20Because Obe
19:21Was the 13th century word
19:23For daybreak
19:24Or dawn
19:25It was the beginning
19:27Of the day
19:28And perhaps if Kipling
19:29Had been around
19:30He might have said
19:31The Obe is coming up
19:33Like thunder
19:34In the road to Mandalay
19:36In deference to you Alan
19:37He just might
19:40Yeah
19:40I think that's fair to say
19:42Patrick Campbell's go
19:43The west coast of America
19:47Around about the 1880s
19:50Japanese kind of
19:52Pouring in by canoe
19:53And that kind of thing
19:54Bringing with them
19:57Tea
19:58Tea
20:00Not palatable
20:03To the Americans
20:04In 1880
20:04Around my sense
20:05California
20:06But they toasted
20:09With the tea
20:11It was called
20:12Oabe
20:13They pressed it
20:15Into toasted tea cakes
20:16No just toasted
20:18For playing tea
20:19Out of the packet
20:19Called Oabe
20:21Thank you
20:22Next
20:23Right yes
20:24Tom Baker is the next
20:26An Obe
20:28Was an administrative
20:30District
20:30In the ancient
20:31Greek country
20:32Of Laconia
20:32Now Laconia
20:34As you know
20:34Has for its neighbours
20:35The Arcadians
20:36But that's a diversion
20:37What is important
20:40About the inhabitants
20:41Of the Obe
20:43Was
20:45That they were
20:46By temperament
20:46Quite
20:47Not timid
20:49They were
20:49Diffident
20:50Withdrawn
20:51Taciturn
20:52Laconic
20:54I think would be the word
20:55Ah
20:55Well
20:57It means daybreak
20:59It means
21:00That kind of
21:01District of Greece
21:02And it's a kind
21:03Of toasted tea
21:04Gabrielle
21:06An actual
21:09District of Greece
21:11Area
21:13Yes
21:14It was administered
21:16By districts
21:16And an Obe
21:17Was an administrative
21:18District
21:18An Obe
21:18Was an administrative
21:19District
21:20Yes
21:20I don't know
21:22I'm not
21:23Totally convinced
21:24By that
21:25And this
21:26Oabe
21:27It's a marvellous
21:28Pronunciation
21:28Of the word
21:29And I would have
21:30Never guessed
21:31That it had been
21:31Pronounced like that
21:32And I don't think
21:33It really was
21:34I
21:35Would have liked
21:37To have come out
21:38Of my tent
21:38Sleepily at
21:39Runnymede
21:39To greet the Obe
21:40I think it's the dawn
21:41You think it's the dawn
21:43It was Miriam
21:44It was Miriam
21:44Yes
21:44Miriam
21:44You said it
21:45Is that true
21:46Well I'm afraid
21:47Gabriel
21:47Gabriel would have been
21:48Oh no
21:49No
21:50No
21:51No no
21:56It wasn't
21:57It must have been
21:57One of the others
21:58Here it comes
22:00He's got it
22:02He's got it
22:02That administrative
22:08District of Greece
22:09That stood him so
22:10Well instead
22:12I say
22:12Five
22:13One
22:13Don't go on about it
22:15No
22:15There'll be red faces
22:17After the programme
22:18I can tell you
22:19Gurjon
22:20Frank
22:20Gurjon
22:23Is a
22:23Gurjon maybe
22:26Is a tree
22:27In the Philippines
22:28But it's not just
22:31It is no ordinary
22:32Common or garden tree
22:33This one
22:34It's got bark on it
22:36Well I suppose
22:36Some
22:37But it's got
22:38A sort of greyish bark
22:40Which
22:41The islanders
22:42Pound down
22:44Under pressure
22:45And whack
22:46And extract from it
22:48A substance
22:49A sort of
22:49Gouy substance
22:50Which they use
22:51For face cream
22:52And they use
22:54On their canoes
22:54As well
22:55Not at the same time
22:57It's
22:58Gurjon
22:59Face cream
22:59On canoes
23:00No no no
23:01The ladies use
23:02Face cream
23:03But the chaps
23:04Stuck for something
23:05To slap on their canoes
23:06Put a bit of Gurjon on
23:08It's highly reckoned
23:10Of the Philippines
23:11Your Japanese
23:13Might have had it
23:13On their canoes
23:14I think it's
23:16I think it's about time
23:18You butted in
23:19Alan
23:20I'm tired of dabbling
23:21In nastiness
23:22This evening
23:22But a Gurjon
23:23Is actually
23:23A falconry term
23:25And it's a piece of meat
23:27That gets stuck
23:28In the throat
23:28Of your falcon
23:30Or hawk
23:31Prevents it from swallowing
23:33Interferes with its flight
23:35And the only way
23:36To get it out
23:37Is to take your hawk
23:38Upside down
23:38And go
23:39Like that
23:39Beat a bit of rubbish
23:43In the throat
23:43Of your hawk
23:44So
23:46Gabrielle
23:47Will you tell us
23:48Yes
23:48A Gurjon
23:49Or a pair
23:50Of Gurjon
23:51Would have been worn
23:52By ladies
23:53In medieval times
23:55They were stockings
23:56Really
23:57Made of a soft
23:58Doe-like leather
23:59And held up
24:01By a nice little
24:03Tiny row of leather
24:04Buttons at the back
24:05Luckily zips
24:06Hadn't been invented
24:07Then
24:08Or they might have
24:09Got stuck
24:10Okay
24:11So
24:12It's a kind of
24:13It's a bit of food
24:14That the bird
24:15Can't swallow
24:16It's a
24:17Soft leather stocking
24:18And
24:19I think I'm safe
24:20In saying
24:20It's a substance
24:21Yes
24:21It's a substance
24:22I'd go along
24:23With you
24:23Would that be all
24:24Covered pretty well
24:26Patrick
24:27And how one can guess
24:31At a thing called
24:32A substance
24:33It can be
24:35An elephant's toenail
24:36At five to one
24:38You could force yourself
24:39Who's doing the guessing
24:43You or me
24:44Without doubt
24:46Absolute nonsense
24:47By a
24:47Leather stocking
24:49Unblocking falcon's necks
24:52With glue
24:53It's a face cream
24:55For putting on canoe
24:56Now Frank
24:58I see it now
24:59As I see it
25:00Thank you
25:04He did tell you that
25:09Now I mean
25:10After all
25:10So it's
25:11What he said it was
25:12And it comes from a tree
25:13Not sure whether
25:14Yeah
25:15The tree
25:15Produces the substance
25:16And then they do with it
25:18What they will
25:19Chute
25:19Or chout
25:20Patrick
25:21You possibly remember
25:24The Marathas
25:25A tribe
25:26A kind of
25:27Marauding tribe
25:28In central India
25:29Early 18th century
25:31You've got the Marathas
25:34They're kind of boiling in
25:36And they conquer you
25:39And they say
25:42Can we have your chute please
25:45Which was a quarter
25:46Of the national income
25:47And if the people
25:51That had been conquered
25:51Failed to pay
25:52These Marathas
25:54They retired for a week or two
25:56And came back again
25:57And asked for it
25:58All over again
25:59A tax
26:02A tax
26:04In the sense of
26:05And tax
26:06Yes
26:06Not
26:06Not a tax on
26:08Anthra
26:09Yes
26:10Yeah
26:10That kind of thing
26:11Tax what you pay
26:12Yeah
26:13Tom
26:14Oh
26:15A chout
26:16Is
26:18A label
26:19Which merchants
26:21Used to use formally
26:22Some still do
26:23In remote areas
26:24By which they label
26:26Their goods
26:26Or their livestock
26:27At markets
26:28Of course
26:30Many years ago
26:31When very few people
26:33Could read
26:33Maybe
26:35The chout
26:37Took
26:37Quite a simple form
26:39Sometimes it was
26:40A bit of
26:40Coloured wool
26:41Tied round a cow's horn
26:42Or it might be
26:43Something slightly
26:44More elaborate
26:44Like a metal star
26:46Which would be stuck
26:47Quite deeply
26:48Into the flank
26:48Of a vegetable marrow
26:50That's the chout
26:53Yeah
26:54Yeah
26:55Yeah
26:55Miriam Stoppard
26:56Well sensually speaking
26:59The chout
27:00Provides 50%
27:02Of the pleasure
27:03During osculation
27:04It's the lower lip
27:09It's a countryman's word
27:11For the lower lip
27:12Now in the part
27:12Of the country
27:13That I come from
27:13Which is
27:14Geordieland
27:15Timeside
27:15When a child
27:16Pouts a bit
27:17And he's feeling
27:18A bit depressed
27:18And sulky
27:19Sort of
27:19We say
27:20He's got a pet lip
27:21But now I know
27:23The correct countryman's term
27:24One should say
27:25He's hanging the chout
27:26He's a bit
27:27Down in the mouth
27:29So it's the lower lip
27:32It's the lower lip
27:33It's a kind of a tax
27:34That these marauders exacted
27:37And it's a label
27:38That you sometimes
27:39Stick into a vegetable marrow
27:40Frank
27:41If you stick a label
27:43Into a vegetable marrow
27:44It sort of expires
27:45It bleeds
27:47You couldn't stick
27:48Anything into it
27:49I must say
27:53It's very tempting
27:54To think of the
27:55Maracas sweeping
27:56Through India
27:57In the medieval times
28:00Dengelt
28:02Sort of Indian word
28:03For Dengelt
28:03Long after dear
28:05Long after that
28:07Oh
28:08Yes
28:09I think it must be
28:10The lower lip
28:11The lower lip
28:12That was Miriam
28:13Wasn't it
28:13You've spoken of that
28:14I wonder if she was
28:15Pulling your leg
28:16Frank
28:16Oh she was
28:19Oh
28:20That was just so much
28:27Tinny valley
28:28Who gave the true definition
28:29Here it is
28:30Didn't sound likely
28:38Did it
28:38But there you are
28:39That's I suppose
28:40What this game is all about
28:41And we really
28:43Don't have much time
28:44Indeed we have no time
28:45For any more
28:45And what I have to announce
28:47Are you sure
28:49Do you want to go on
28:50Yeah
28:50But anyway
28:52The score
28:52I hardly like to announce
28:53It's so obvious
28:54The score standing
28:55At 7-1
28:56Patrick and Curve won
28:58Taking it on the chin
29:09Sportsman
29:09Sportsman
29:10Well we shall have some more
29:11Old bottle tops
29:12From the Oxford English Dictionary
29:13Next week
29:14Until then
29:15Goodbye from Alan Corrin
29:17Tom Baker
29:20Gabrielle Grape
