Watery Fowls...reminds me of my first job - in a factory canteen, where people bored of waiting in the queue messed with the menu boards - Sausage and custard £300, and so on. Very drole.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

You know, I think John Cleese did some research for Basil's physicality. How he was dancing on his feet just then reminds me of one of our 'unbalanced' customers at the library.

No idea. I went to see Donald Sinden in a West End farce once. And Daisy Pulls It Off. Though that wasn't quite the same thing. |
