Bluebottle: What time is it Eccles?
Eccles: Err, just a minute. I've got it written down on a piece of paper. A nice man wrote the time down for me this morning.
Bluebottle: Ooooh, then why do you carry it around with you Eccles?
Eccles: Welll, um, if a anybody asks me the time, I can show it to dem.
Bluebottle: Wait a minute Eccles, my good man.
Eccles: What is it fellow?
Bluebottle: It's writted on this bit of paper, what is eight o'clock, is writted.
Eccles: I know that my good fellow. That's right, um, when I asked the fella to write it down, it was eight o'clock.
Bluebottle: Well then. Supposing when somebody asks you the time, it isn't eight o'clock?

Forgot to say,"The Goon Show"for anybody who is wondering where it was from.

That was real entertainment - now we get Graham Norton!

They don't make things like that any more. Pure idiocy but we loved it. Eth and Ron were good too, but I can't remember and scenarios.

Adolf Hitler my part in his down fall. The Sgt gave me a picture of Hitler. He said "this is your enemy" I searched the train but he wasnt on it.

Some of the episodes were so silly they were hilarious. I put this one on these pages a few days back; There is knock at the door. "Who's there?" "It's me" "Well, come in, me." A conversation is interrupted by another knock on the door. "Who's there?" "It's me." "It can't be me, me's just come in." Priceless.
