Steamport Southport Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Phrase four was always there. I grew up in the era of Carry On movies, Benny Hill and the dancers on Top Of The Pops. Lovely Babs, don't know what her name was though.... Last bit was nicked from Ronnie Barker in Porridge.

Reminds me of a Mike Harding joke.... My Grandad loved Pans People, especially "Babs", the blonde one. He used to say "I'd love to be casseroled by that yon blonde 'un!!" I said "Grandad, don't you mean "caressed"? "No!", he said, "Casseroled!" I looked it up in the dictionary:- Casseroled - to be done slowly for three and half hours. 1 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have an incorrect memory of which of the PP it was, but memory, such as it is, seems to recall that she married an RAF Officer and was at a Station I was on, during flying training. On one occasion she turned up to a fancy dress party, in the Mess, as a female spy, wearing a completely backless halter neck dress and managed to tote a pistol, too. Given the plunging frontage, there was only one other place the pistol could be lodged without falling out, or being revealed, which she would demonstrate, upon being requested by some disbeliever. I remember the evening well, it was a particularly warm one, as someone seemed to have left the heating turned up to maximum!! 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it must have been another member of Pan's People that married the RAF officer 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Yeah. But most commenting will be boring old men who watched it hiding behind their newspaper in case the missus caught them looking at it... "Look at the state of her". Yeah, but you're looking you dirty old rotter.... Give me the Fuel Girls any day of the week. Tats, fire and dancing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words in the song are a bit non PC as well, a black man from Brixton singing that he doesn't want to be a bus driver all his life wouldn't go down very well in this day and age, Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I watched through to the end to find an even bigger one, Jimmy Saville. No wonder you don't see that clip on the old TOTPs on BBC 4!
