2. It's...

3. Monty python's flying circuses.

4. The adventures of biggles.

5. Part one:"biggles dictates a letter. "

6. Miss bladder, take a letter.

7. Yes, senor biggles.

8. Don't call me "senor"!

9. Or group captain biggles

10. Or mary biggles if I'm dressed as my wife

11. But never senor!

12. Sorry.

13. I've never even been to spain.

14. You went to ibiza last year.

15. That's still no grounds for calling me senor

16. Or "don beeg-les," for that matter.

17. Right. dear king haakon...

18. "of norway," is that?

19. Just put down what I say.

20. Do I put that down?

21. Course you don't put that down!

22. Well, what about that?

23. Look!

24. Don't put that down.

25. Just put down... wait a mo, wait a mo.

26. Now, when I've got these antlers on...

27. When I've got these antlers on

28. I am dictating

29. And when I take them off, I'm not dictating.

30. "I'm not dictating."

31. What?

32. Read that back.

33. "dear king haakon, I'm not dictating.

34. What?"

35. No, no, no, no, you loopy brothel inmate!

36. I've had enough of this.

37. I'm not a courtesan.

38. Oh, oh, courtesan-- oh, aren't we grand?

39. Harlot's not good enough for us, eh?

40. Paramour, concubine, fille de joie--

41. That's what we are not.

42. Well, listen to me, my fine fellow

43. You are a bit of tail

44. That's what you are.

45. I am not, you demented fictional character.

46. Algy says you are.

47. He says you're no better than you should be.

48. And how would he know?

49. And just what do you mean by that?

50. Are you calling

51. My old fictional comrade-in-arms a fairy?

52. Fairy! poof's not good enough for algy, is it?

53. He's got to be a bleedin' fairy.

54. Mincing old r.a.f. queen.

55. Algy, I have to see you.

56. Righto.

57. What ho, everyone.

58. Are you gay?

59. I should bally well say so, old fruit.

60. Ugh! dear king haakon...

61. Oh. dear king haakon

62. Just a line to thank you for the eels.

63. Mary thought they were really scrummy, comma

64. So did i, full stop.

65. I've just heard that algy was a poof, exclamation mark.

66. What would captain w.e. johns have said, question mark.

67. Sorry to mench, but if you've finished with the lawn edger

68. Could you pop it in the post?

69. Love, biggles, algy deceased, and ginger.

70. Ginger?

71. What?

72. Rhyming slang-- ginger beer.

73. Oh.

74. Ginger.

75. Hello, sweetie.

76. I have to see you.

77. Yes, biggles?

78. Are you a poof?

79. I should say not!

80. Thank god for that.

81. Good lad, stout fellow, salt of the earth, backbone of england.

82. Funny, he looks like a poof.

83. Dear princess margaret...

84. Hello.

85. Get back in the cupboard, you pantomimetic royal person!

86. Lemon curry?

87. Dear real princess margaret

88. Thank you for the eels, full stop.

89. They were absolutely delicious

90. And unmistakably regal, full stop.

91. Sorry to mench, but if you've finished with the hairdryer

92. Could you pop it in the post?

93. Yours fictionally, biggles.

94. Oh, p.s.-- see you at the saxe- coburgs' canasta evening.

95. That should puzzle her.

96. Si, senor beeg-les.

97. Silence, naughty lady of the night!

98. Next week, part two: "biggles flies undone. "

99. Ugh!

100. Meanwhile, not very far away...

101. Climbing-- the world's loneliest sport

102. Where hardship and philosophy go hand in glove.

103. And here, another british expedition attempting to be

104. The first man to successfully climb

105. The north face of the uxbridge road.

106. This four-man rope has been climbing tremendously.

107. Bbc cameras were there to film every inch.

108. The major assault on the uxbridge road has been going on

109. For about three weeks

110. Really ever since they established base camp

111. Here at the junction of willesden road.

112. From there they climbed steadily to establish camp two

113. Outside lewis's, and it's taken them another three days

114. To establish camp three here outside the post office.

115. Well, they've spent a good night in there last night

116. In preparation for the final assault today.

117. The leader of the expedition is 29-year-old bert tagg

118. A local headmaster and mother of three.

119. Bert, how's it going?

120. It's a bit gripping, is this, chris.

121. I've got to try and reach that bus stop

122. In an hour or so

123. And I'm doing it by... damn...

124. I'm doing it by layback up this gutter

125. So I'm kind of guttering

126. And laying back at the same time

127. And philosophizing.

128. Uh, bert, some people say this is crazy.

129. Aye, well, they said crippen was crazy, didn't they?

130. Well, crippen was crazy.

131. Oh, well, there you are, then.

132. Eh, john? I'm sending you down

133. This carabiner on white.

134. Lemon curry?

135. Now, you see, he's putting in a peg down there

136. Because I'm quite a way up now

137. And if I come unstuck here

138. I go down quite a long way.

139. Such quiet courage is typical

140. Of the way these brave chaps shrug off danger.

141. Like it or not, you've got to admire

142. The skill that goes into it.

143. Oh, it's terrible up on deck.

144. Up on deck?

145. Yeah, on deck it's diabolical weather.

146. Uh, what deck, dear?

147. The deck-- the deck of the lifeboat.

148. This isn't a lifeboat, dear.

149. This is 24 parker street.

150. This is the newhaven lifeboat.

151. No, it's not, dear.

152. You're right.

153. This isn't a lifeboat at all.

154. No, I wouldn't live here if it was.

155. Do you mind if I sit down for a minute and collect my wits?

156. No, you do that.

157. I'll make a nice cup of tea.

158. Thanks very much.

159. Ooh, it's a wild night up top.

160. Your turn on deck soon, charlie.

161. It's not a lifeboat, frank.

162. What?

163. What do you mean?

164. It's not a lifeboat ;

165. It's this lady's house.

166. Captain! captain, ahoy there!

167. Ahoy there!

168. Ahoy there!

169. Ahoy there!

170. Captain!

171. Who's that shouting?

172. There's a man outside number 24.

173. Try it on the five-inch, gladys.

174. I cant, I've got that fixed on the baileys at number 13.

175. Their new lodger moves in today.

176. All right, hold 13 on the five-inch

177. And transfer the cartwrights to the digital scanner.

178. Oh, okay.

179. Hold on! mrs. pettigrew's coming back from the doctor's.

180. Ooh, bring her up on two.

181. What's the duration rating on the oscillator?

182. 48.47.

183. Well, that's a long time

184. For someone who's just had a routine checkup.

185. Yes, her pulse rate's 146.

186. Ooh, zoom in on the 16-mil and hold her, enid.

187. Roger, gladys.

188. I'll try and get her on the 12-inch.

189. Move the curtain, enid.

190. Thank you, love.

191. Yes, it's one of those self-righting models.

192. Newhaven was about the first place

193. In the country to get one.

194. What's the displacement

195. On one of them jobs, then?

196. Oh, about 140, 150...

197. Who's for fruit cake?

198. Oh, yes, please.

199. Yes? right, macaroons...

200. That's two dozen fruit cakes, half a dozen macaroons.

201. Won't be a jiffy, then.

202. Yoo-hoo! mrs. edwards!

203. Hello.

204. Hello, love.

205. I want two dozen fruit cakes

206. And half a dozen macaroons.

207. Oh, sorry, love, no macaroons.

208. How about a nice vanilla sponge?

209. Yes, that'd be lovely.

210. Righto.

211. Ooh, there's that nice herring trawler

212. Come for their kup kakes-- excuse me.

213. Righto.

214. Hello! captain smith!

215. Hello!

216. Kup kakes to starboard!

217. Coming!

218. Head out there!

219. If you want I'll get your things.

220. Oh, yes, throw 'em in.

221. I'll pay you

222. At the end of the week, then, all right?

223. Okay, righto.

224. All right.

225. Rule, britannia...

226. Ooh, it's the ark royal, doris!

227. Have you got their rock buns ready?

228. Hang on!

229. Here we are, five for them

230. And five for h.m.s. eagle.

231. Righto.

232. Yes?

233. H.m.s. defiant, two set teas, please.

234. Two set teas, doris.

235. That'll be 48 pence.

236. Here we are, thank you.

237. By the way, do you do lunches?

238. No, morning coffees and teas only.

239. Righto, dear.

240. Good evening, and welcome to another edition of storage jars.

241. On tonight's program

242. Mikos antoniarkis, the greek rebel leader

243. Who seized power in athens this morning

244. Tells us what he keeps in storage jars.

245. From strife-torn bolivia

246. Ronald rodgers reports on storage jars there.

247. And closer to home

248. The first dramatic pictures of the mass jailbreak

249. Near the storage jar factory in maidenhead.

250. All this and more in storage jars.

251. This is la paz, bolivia.

252. Behind me, you can hear the thud of mortar

253. And the high-pitched whine of rockets

254. As the battle for control of this volatile republic shakes

255. The foundations of this old city.

256. But whatever their political inclinations

257. These bolivians are all keen users of storage jars.

258. Here the largest size is used for rice and for mangos

259. A big local crop.

260. And unlike most revolutionary south american states

261. They've an intermediary size

262. In between the two-pound and five-pound jars.

263. This gives this poor-but-proud people

264. A useful jar for apricots, plums and stock cubes.

265. The smallest jar, this little two-ounce jar

266. For sweets, chocolates and even little shallots.

267. No longer used in the west

268. It remains here as an unspoken monument to the days

269. When la paz knew better times.

270. Ronald rodgers, storage jars, la paz.

271. In london, the prime minister met officials

272. From the department of the environment to discuss...

273. A cassette tape recorder is to replace

274. The salon quartets and trios

275. Which have played beside the potted palms of manchester...

276. ...has caused a switch to taped music

277. Which will be relayed over a new public address system

278. Replacing one which relayed both music and the...

279. Stock market prices hit record levels

280. On the last day of the year.

281. The financial times index rose 3.7 points to 476.5...

282. ...but the bbc has reported

283. That radio free solent, a pirate station

284. Was marking the first birthday of the...

285. Henry! turn that television off!

286. You know it's bad for your eyes!

287. Ah, that's better.

288. Henry, will you stop sitting around?

289. Yes, dear.

290. There's an entire tv studio

291. Waiting around for you to do the next link!

292. And when you've got that done

293. I've gone some more work for you!

294. Yes, dear.

295. Henry, do you hear me?

296. Henry!

297. Henry, get a move on!

298. Now, you sod!

299. That's better.

300. Hut-two, hut-two, hut-two, hut-two, hut-two!

301. Hello, I'm the good fairy from program control

302. Where we're all grateful for your work on this link

303. So much so that I'm here to release you

304. From the evil spell you've been under.

305. Huh?

306. Hmm, well, it doesn't always work the first time.

307. Thank you, thank you.

308. No, no need to.

309. You see, it's all in a day's work for program control.

310. Hello, the show so far...

311. Well, it all started with the organist losing his clothes

312. As he sat down at the organ

313. And after this had happened, uh

314. And we had seen the titles of the show, we...

315. We saw biggles dictating a letter to his secretary

316. Who thought he was spanish

317. And whom he referred to as a "harlot"

318. And a "woman of the night"

319. Although she preferred to be called a "courtesan."

320. Uh, then we saw some people

321. Trying to climb a road in uxbridge

322. And then there were some cartoons and...

323. And then some lifeboat men came into a woman's sitting room

324. And, uh, after a bit

325. The woman went out to buy some, uh, cakes on a lifeboat.

326. And then, uh, a n... a naval officer jumped into the sea.

327. Uh, then we saw a man telling us about storage jars from bolivia

328. And then there were some more cartoons.

329. And then a... a man told us

330. About what happened on the show so far

331. And a great hammer came and hit him on the head.

332. I don't remember that.

333. Lemon curry?

334. Good morning, sir.

335. Good morning.

336. Um... I was sitting

337. In the public library in thurmond street just now

338. Skimming through rogue herries by horace walpole

339. When i, um, suddenly came over all peckish.

340. Peckish, sir?

341. Esurient.

342. Eh?

343. Eee, I were all hungry, like.

344. Oh, hungry.

345. In a nutshell.

346. So I thought to myself

347. A little fermented curd would do the trick

348. So I curtailed my walpolling activities, sallied forth

349. And infiltrated your place of purveyance

350. To negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles.

351. Come again?

352. I want to buy some cheese!

353. Ah... I thought you were complaining about the music.

354. Oh, heaven forbid. I am one who delights

355. In all manifestations of the terpsichorean muse.

356. Sorry.

357. I like a nice dance--

358. You're forced to.

359. Anyway.

360. Who said that?

361. Now, my good man, some cheese, please.

362. Yes, certainly, sir. what would you like?

363. Well, uh, how about a little red leicester?

364. I'm afraid we're fresh out of red leicester, sir.

365. Never mind. how are you on tilsit?

366. Never at the end of the week, sir.

367. Always get it fresh first thing on monday.

368. Tish, tish.

369. No matter, um...

370. Well, four ounces of caerphilly, then, if you please

371. Stout yeoman.

372. Ah, well, it's been on order for two weeks, sir.

373. I was expecting it this morning.

375. Uh, bel paese?

376. Sorry.

409. Well, as a matter of fact, it's... it's very runny, sir.

410. No matter, no matter

411. Hand over le fromage de la belle france

412. Qui s'appelle camembert

413. S'il vous plait.

414. I think it's runnier than you like it, sir.

415. I don't care

416. How excrementally runny it is;

417. Hand it over with all speed.

418. Yes, sir. oh...

419. What?

435. We've got...

436. No, no, no, don't tell me.

437. I'm keen to guess.

438. Fair enough.

439. Wensleydale?

440. Yes, sir.

441. Splendid.

442. Well, I'll have some of that then, please.

459. Well, let's keep it simple.

460. How about cheddar?

461. Well, I'm afraid we don't get much call for it

462. Around these parts, sir.

463. Much call?! it's the most popular cheese in the world!

464. Not round these parts, sir.

465. And pray, what is the most popular cheese

466. Round these parts?

467. Ilchester, sir.

468. I see.

469. Yes, sir, it's quite staggeringly popular

470. In the manor, squire.

471. Is it?

472. Our number-one seller.

473. Is it?

474. Yes, sir.

475. Ilchester, eh?

476. Right.

477. Okay, I'm game.

478. "have you got any?" he asked

479. Expecting the answer "no."

480. I'll have a look, sir.

481. N...

482. No.

483. It's not much of a cheese shop, really, is it?

484. Finest in the district, sir.

485. And what leads you to that conclusion?

486. Well, it's so clean.

487. Well, it's certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

488. You haven't asked me about limburger, sir.

489. Is it worth it?

490. Could be.

491. Okay, have you...

492. Will you shut that bloody dancing up?!

493. I told you so.

494. Have you got any limburger?

495. No.

496. No-- that figures.

497. It was pretty predictable, really.

498. It was an act of pure optimism

499. To have posed the question in the first place.

500. Tell me something

501. Do you have any cheese at all?

502. Yes, sir.

503. Now, I'm going to ask you that question once more

504. And if you say "no"

505. I am going to shoot you through the head.

506. Now, do you have any cheese at all?

507. No.

508. What a senseless waste of human life.

509. Hugh walpole's rogue cheddar--

510. One of the first of the cheese westerns--

511. To be later followed by gunfight at gruyere corral

512. Ilchester '73

513. And the cheese who shot liberty valance.

514. While I'm on the subject of westerns

515. I want to take a closer look

516. At one of my favorite film directors--

517. Sam peckinpah, the expatriate from fresno, california.

518. In his earliest films, major dundee

519. The wild bunch and straw dogs

520. He showed his predilection for the utterly truthful

521. And very sexually arousing portrayal of violence

522. In its starkest form.

523. In his latest film

524. Peckinpah has moved into the calmer and more lyrical waters

525. Of julian slade's salad days.

526. Hello, everybody.

527. Hello, lionel.

528. I say, what a simply super day.

529. Gosh, yes.

530. It's so... you know, sunny.

531. Yes, isn't it?

532. I say, anyone for tennis?

533. Oh, super!

534. What fun!

535. I say, lionel, catch.

536. Oh, crikey!

537. Pretty strong meat there from...

538. Sam peckinpah.

539. The bbc would like to deny the last apology.

540. It is very happy at home

541. And bbc 2 is bound to go through this phase.

542. So from all of us here, good night, sleep well

543. And have an absolutely super day tomorrow.

544. Kiss, kiss.

545. We've just heard

546. That an explosion in the kitchens of the house of lords

547. Has resulted in the breakage of 17 storage jars.

548. Police have ruled out foul play.

549. Lemon curry?

550. Um, I'm sorry about the, uh... the, uh... pause

551. Only I'm afraid the show is a couple of minutes short

552. This week.

553. You know, sometimes the show's aren't really quite as, uh...

554. As long as they ought to be.

555. Beautiful, isn't it?

556. Um, look, there's not really a... a great deal of point

557. In your sort of hanging on at your end

558. Because I'm afraid there aren't any more jokes or anything.
