The year: 1966. The place: Swinging London. The venue: a *gear* party in Kensington. Jim Dale flits among the *happening* party guests wearing a lavender paisley shirt and tie and black comedy sideburns. He is a Justin de Villeneuve type. The music soundtrack is Sexy Groovy Hammond Organ Vol 38.
Kenneth Connor is dressed like a 1920's film director. Bernard Bresslaw is wearing a flowery dress, a hat with feathers in, a curly wig and is carrying a hug tote bag. They are conversing.
Bernard (pointing at a young woman dancing in a white crocheted mini dress): "GORBLIMEY REG! LOOK AT THE KNOCKERS ON THAT DOLLY BIRD! I THINK I'LL ASK HER FOR THE NEXT DANCE!"
Kenneth, aka Reg, muttering angrily: "Sshhh, keep your voice daahhn! You'll give the game away! Do you want us to be booted ahht?"
Bernard: "Sorry Reg!"
Bernard (raising pitch of voice to womanish hysterical falsetto): "GORBLIMEY REG! LOOK AT THE KNOCKERS ON THAT DOLLY BIRD! I THINK I'LL ASK HER FOR THE NEXT DANCE!"
By the way, if anyone related to Kenneth Connor or Bernard Bresslaw comes over here shouting the odds - I actually like them! It is possible to take the piss out of someone/something without having any malicious intent ... for my life ...
ReplyDeleteYou missed out the wah-wah-waaaaah muted trombone bit. Which would probably coincide with Bernard's bloomers falling around his ankles.
ReplyDeleteTim - I woke up before that happened. I wonder if it's still possible to buy bloomers on the high street (apart from the sort you get in bakers shops har har).
ReplyDeleteI just accidentally clicked on Des O'Connor and am now faced with PTS therapy for 6 months. That right eye nearly finished me off completely.
ReplyDeleteDick a dum dum.
Haha
DeleteSpeaking of "Carry on," AND speaking of therapy, I've been watching a collection of Carry On movies on DVD.
ReplyDeleteVoluntarily, I might add.
Carry On dreams: I wanted to be Fenella Fielding but always knew it would end with Esme Cannon.
ReplyDeleteRog - good job I didn't post the full colour picture. The eye is luminous and swirls around. If you look at it for more than two seconds you faint.
ReplyDeleteMJ - They seem to have been on a loop on British TV for the past forty years. No need to buy DVDs!
Arabella - Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me.
