"She's too busy getting hold of the Husbands."

"How many husbands are there?"

"Six."

"Six?"

"One of the Husbands is a girl."

"One of the husbands is a girl?"

"Yes. That's Murray Husband.

Then there is, uh, Donny Husband...."

"What are you doing on my launching pad? You're not allowed on my launching pad without a

launching voucher."

"My card."

"There's nothing on it."

"Oh." *flips card over*

"What'd you write it on the back for? 'Henry Mac Gee.' Are you Egyptian?

'Scientific Correspondent'. Sir, I don't need a correspondent. I've never even THOUGHT

about divorce. MURDER, but not DIVORCE."

"I am speaking here to Mr 'Frederick Forsythe Scuttle, DBTC'.

DBTC?"

"Don't bend the card!" *snatches card*

"Throw open wide your window, dear!"

"I work for Thames Television."

"You poor soul!"

"Captain Scuttle, why are you doing this?"

"I am doing this to prove that we are not washed up-

that Britain still leads the world in scientific endeavours and precision engineering."

*clang*

"The Russians and the Americans have been up on the moon with their rockets.

The Chinese don't need one-they can stand on each others' shoulders.

We will go into the outer reaches of the solar plexus, in that-

Indestructible the Second!"

"What happened to Indestructible the First?"

"It fell apart."

"It was called 'the Mountie' with Nelson Eddy.

He's up at the bar, and he gets a telegram from his wife, and he opens up the telegram

and he reads it and he sings

'I'm not getting any better-come home,

I'm not getting any better-come home.'

But I wrote 'I'm not getting any-better come home.'"

"AAAHH! What's that in the road? A head?"

"CUT! That's 'What's that in the ROAD ahead?"

"...said 'Half of the world doesn't know how, the other half LIVES!'

Um, 'Half of the world doesn't know how the other half lives.'"'

Raf, if nobody else is getting it, please close it out...

This show was never up to the standards of PBS.

This is NOT a recent show-it aired some time ago.

This show sometimes got static over the musical numbers and the

"questionable" humour.

This show mixed comedy skits with visual gags and speeded-up motion.

This show had a number of regular characters, and the most common

recurring characters showed up in interviews, where the real name of

the interviewer was used in the skit, as he interviewed the character,

who was always doing some DIFFERENT profession from last time,

as if they were being introduced now.

sounds like Benny Hill, though I would have never have known it by the clues.

Correct, which makes this hiway29's turn.

I thought naming "Fred Scuttle", Henry McGee and THAMES TELEVISION

were giveaways for anyone who watched the show.

Henry McGee interviewed "Fred Scuttle" and "Chou Minh" a LOT.

I thought of that, since BH used all sorts of word play, but I thought he quit taping before the Osmonds became famous.

George

Apparently not.

Actually, he taped several years that were never aired in the US.

(They werent as funny as the ones that WERE aired here.)

So it's Hiway29's turn, since never tried a guess when he had a "clear shot."

Okay. This one will be so easy, I'm going to give a lot of clues, any one of which would give the show away:

You bet your bippy!

The Flying, Fickle Finger of Fate...

Verrrry interesting!

Is the party to whom I am speaking?

Here comes the judge!

Sock it to me.

Say "Goodnight," Dick. "Goodnight, Dick."

...."We are going to a journey? Oh, master, what a wonderful surprise.'

.... 'Oh, great, good. I’ve got a bigger surprise for you: You’re not going."
