or have just missed Beyond Our Ken...

Could you make us a Lemon Dash, Tony?

Kenneth Horne and also to Kenneth Williams,

Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden, Bill Pertwee...

There once was a little princess

A sweet little lady, I guess

Her birthday was near

So I'd like you to hear

Of the story of the Little Princess

You dreamboat

You lovable dreamboat

The kisses you gave me

Set my dreams afloat

Maisie!

I would sail

The seven seas with you

Even if you told me to go

and paddle my own canoe

Sincerely

I love you so dearly

Say that you'll be mine for evermore

Have you come to mind the baby Doreen?

- Yeah.

- Come on then love

Brown-skin girl stay home and mind baby

Brown-skin girl, stay home and mind baby

Brown-skin girl, stay home and mind baby

Oh, I killed nobody but my husband

He's stone-cold dead in the market

He's stone-cold dead in the market

He's stone-cold dead in the market

Oh, I killed nobody but my husband

Brown-skin girl, stay home and mind baby

Brown-skin girl, stay home and mind baby

I'm going away on a Harrison boat

And if I don't come back

Stay home and mind

The baby!

Oh my what a rotten song

A rum and black, a shandy.

A Black and Tan, pint of mild,

pint of bitter.

Pint of mixed. Thanks, love.

Hello, George.

We've come to wet the baby's head.

- Hello. What's it like being a dad, eh?

- Made up.

What are you having?

When that old gang of mine

Get together

On the corner of my home town

We were friends in the past

And our friendship will last

Till the curtain of dreams comes down

When that old gang of mine

I borrow 25 pounds

from the Lehigh and Lend every Christmas

then pay it back over the next 12 months.

It's like a tontine, really.

- Royal Liver!

- Come in, Mr. Spaull.

Can I surrender the policies

on the two girls, Mr. Spaull?

Certainly, Mrs. Davies.

You've had these some time now,

haven't you?

Since they were babies.

But as they're both married now,

there's no point in keeping them on.

All right, Mrs. Davies.

I'll take them into the office for you.

Thanks, Mr. Spaull.

- Ta-nra

- See you next week.

- Tony?

- Yeah?

Im just running to confession.
