17. Good day, Bruce.

18. Oh, hello, Bruce.

19. How are you, Bruce?

20. A bit crook, Bruce.

21. Where's Bruce?

22. He's not here, Bruce.

23. Blimey. It's hot in here, Bruce.

24. It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum.

25. That's a strange... That's a strange expression, Bruce.

26. Well, Bruce, I heard the prime minister use it.

27. "Hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in here,

28. Your Majesty,"

29. he said.

30. And she smiled quietly to herself.

31. She's a good sheila, Bruce.

32. And not at all stuck-up.

33. Ah. Here comes the boss fellow now.

34. Ah, good day, Bruce.

35. Hey, Bruce.

36. Hello, Bruce.

37. How are you, Bruce?

38. Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce a chap from Pommyland

39. who'll be joining us this year here in the Philosophy.

40. Department of the University of Woolamaloo.

41. Uh, Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce.

42. Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce.

43. Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce.

44. Is your name not Bruce, then?

45. Uh, no, it's Michael.

46. That's going to cause a little confusion.

47. Yeah. Mind if we call you Bruce, just to keep it clear?

48. Well, gentlemen, I think we better start the meeting.

49. Before we start, though, I'll ask the Padre

50. for a prayer.

51. Oh, Lord, we beseech thee,

52. have mercy on our faculty, amen.

53. Amen.

54. Crack the tubes, right.

55. Ah, Bruce, I now call upon you to welcome Mr. Baldwin

56. to the Philosophy Department.

57. I'd like to welcome the pommy bastard

58. to God's own earth.

59. And I'd like to remind him that we don't like stuck-up

60. stickybeaks here.

61. Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce!

62. Now, Bruce teaches classical philosophy,

63. Bruce teaches.

64. Hegelian philosophy.

65. Bruce here teaches logical positivism

66. and is also in charge of the sheep dip.

67. What does, um... What does new Bruce teach?

68. Our new Bruce will teach political science,

69. Machiavelli, Bentham, Locke, Hobbes, Sutcliffe,

70. Bradman, Lindwall, Miller, Hassett and Benaud.

71. Those are cricketers, Bruce.

72. Oh, spit.

73. Howls. Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce.

74. Ha-ha! In addition, as he's gonna be teaching politics,

75. I told him that he's welcome to teach any of the great

76. socialist thinkers, provided he makes it clear

77. that they were wrong.

78. Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia.

79. We love you. Amen.

80. Any questions?

81. New Bruce, are you a poofter?

82. Are you a poofter?

83. No.

84. No, right. Well, gentlemen, I'll just remind you

85. of the faculty rules.

86. Rule one, no poofters.

87. Uh, rule two, no member of the faculty

88. is to maltreat the Abos in any way whatsoever

89. if there's anyone watching.

90. Rule three, no poofters.

91. Uh, rule four, I don't wanna catch anyone not drinking

92. in their room after lights out.

93. Rule five, no poofters.

94. Rule six, there is no rule six.

95. Rule seven, no poofters.

96. That concludes the reading of the rules. Bruce.

97. This here is the wattle, the emblem of our land.

98. You can stick it in a bottle,

99. you can hold it in your hand.

100. Amen.

101. Amen!

102. Gentlemen, it's 6:00.

103. I want every man-Bruce of you in the Sydney.

104. Harbor Bridge room to take a glass of sherry with

105. the flying philosopher, Bruce.

106. And I now call upon you, padre, to close the meeting

107. with a prayer.

108. Oh Lord, we beseech thee, et cetera, et cetera,

109. et cetera, amen.

110. Amen!

111. Right, let's get some sheilas.

112. Okay.

113. Ah! Elevenses.

114. Ah! This should tide us... This should tide us over

115. till lunchtime.

116. Reckon so, Bruce.

117. Sidney Nolan.

118. What's that?

119. Number nine, the ear.

120. Number 10, the big toe.

121. Number 11

122. more naughty bits.

123. And number 12

124. the naughty bits of a lady.

125. And number 13, the naughty bits of a horse.

126. Number 14

127. the naughty bits of an ant.

128. Number 15, the naughty bits of Reginald Maudling.

129. Number 16, the hand.

130. Good evening. I have with me in the studio tonight

131. Mr. Norman... Mr. Norman.

132. St. John Polevaulter, who, for the past few years,

133. has been contradicting people.

134. Mr. Polevaulter, why do you contradict people?

135. I don't.

136. You told me you did.

137. I most certainly did not.

138. Oh, I see.

139. I'll start again.

140. No, you won't.

141. Shh.

142. Mr. Polevaulter, I understand

143. you don't contradict people.

144. Yes, I do.

145. When didn't you start contradicting people?

146. Well, I did, in 1952.

147. 1952?

148. 1947.

149. Twenty-three years ago?

150. No.

151. And so on and so on and so on.

152. And now number 17

153. the top of the head.

154. Number 18

155. the feather.

156. Rare.

157. Number 19

158. the nose.

159. Come in.

160. Ah, Mr. Luxury Yacht. Do sit down, please.

161. Uh, no, no. My name is spelt Luxury Yacht,

162. but it's pronounced.

163. Throatwobbler Mangrove.

164. Ah, well, do sit down then, Mr. Throatwobbler Mangrove.

165. Thank you.

166. Now, what seems to be the trouble?

167. Um I'd like you to perform some plastic surgery on me.

168. I see. And which particular feature of your anatomy

169. is causing you distress?

170. Well... Well, for a long time now...

171. In fact, even when I was a child uh, I, you know, ever

172. whenever I left home... Mm-hm.

173. Uh, to catch a bus or... Or to catch a train... Fine.

174. Uh, and even my tennis has suffered, actually.

175. Uh... Yes. To be absolutely blunt you're worried about

176. your enormous hooter.

177. No.

178. No?

179. Yes.

180. You want me to hack a bit off.

181. Please.

182. Fine.

183. It is a startler, isn't it?

184. Uh, do you mind if I, uh...?

185. What?

186. Oh, no, nothing then.

187. I'll just examine your nose.

188. Mr. Luxury Yacht, this, um... This nose of yours

189. is false.

190. It's made of polystyrene.

191. And your own hooter's a beaut.

192. No pruning necessary.

193. I'd still like the operation.

194. Well, you've had the operation, you strange person.

195. Please do an operation.

196. Well, all right.

197. All right.

198. But only if you'll come on a camping holiday with me.

199. He asked me, he asked me!

200. Next week, we'll be showing you

201. how to pick up an architect,

202. how to pull a prime minister, and how to have fun

203. with a wholesale poulterer.

204. Now the men of the Derbyshire.

205. Light Infantry entertain us with a precision display

206. of bad temper.

207. Attention!

208. My goodness, me.

209. I am in a bad temper today, all right, two, three.

210. Damn, damn, two, three.

211. I am vexed and ratty, two, three.

212. And hopping mad.

213. And next, the men of the Second Armored Division

214. regale us with their famous close-order swanning about.

215. Squad!

216. Camp it... up.

217. Ooh, get her. Whoops.

218. I've got your number, ducky.

219. Couldn't afford me, dear, two, three.

220. I'll scratch your eyes out.

221. Don't come the brigadier bit with us, dear.

222. We all know where you've been, you military fairy.

223. Whoops, don't look now, girls.

224. The major's just minced

225. in with that dolly color sergeant.

226. Two, three.

227. Oooh.

228. And finally [TCHAIKOVSKY'S "NUTCRACKER"

229. "SUITE" [PLAYING]

230. God, if they don't stop, I'll kill myself.

231. I swear I will.

232. All right. That's it.

233. For three days and nights, the displaced eyeball

234. plummeted earthward.

235. Until finally...

236. Oh.

237. Oh.

238. Excuse me.

239. Keep low, keep down. Don't lag behind. Come on, everybody.

240. Right. Keep close.

241. That's right.

242. Watch out for the killer cars.

243. Yes, the killer cars.

244. For years, the city had been plagued

245. by ever-increasing pedestrian congestion.

246. In an attempt to eliminate this problem,

247. certain fanatical cars had taken the law

248. into their own hands.

249. But the days of the killer cars were numbered,

250. thanks to the miracle of atomic mutation.

251. Oh, thank you. You've saved our city.

252. But at what cost?

253. Oh, thank you. Thank you.

254. You've saved our city.

255. Except for those who chose to leave town.

256. This, then, is the story of two of them.

257. Morning, sir. Can I help you?

258. Uh, yes. We've... We've booked

259. on your flight for America.

260. Oh, we don't fly to America.

261. Oh, the American flight.

262. Ah, on the plane. Oh, yes.

263. Oh, we do that, all right.

264. Safe as houses, no need for panic.

265. Is it really 37 and 6?

266. Thirty bob.

267. I'm robbing meself.

268. Thirty bob?

269. Twenty-five.

270. Uh, two quid, the pair of you.

271. Uh, that's without insurance.

272. How much is it with insurance?

273. Hundred and two quid.

274. That's including the flight.

275. How long will it take?

276. Uh, let me put it this way.

277. No idea.

278. Six hours.

279. Six?

280. Five. Ten for the pair of you.

281. Oh, is it a jet?

282. Uh, well, no.

283. It's not so much a jet.

284. It's more your... Triumph Herald engine with wings.

285. When are you taking off?

286. 3300 hours.

287. What?

288. 2600 hours for the pair.

289. What?

290. After the injections, you won't care.

291. What injections?

292. Barley sugar. Calm you down.

293. They're compulsory.

294. Board of trade. Promise.

295. I don't like the sound of injections.

296. Ring, ring.

297. Hello. Yes. Right.

298. You've got to make your mind up straightaway

299. if you're coming or not.

300. Yes.

301. Right. You can't change your mind.

302. I'll ring the departure lounge.

303. Hello? Two more on their way, Mrs. Turpin.

304. Ah.

305. Now, uh, the duty-free trolley is over there.

306. There's some lovely drop scones and some duty-free

307. broccoli, and there's fresh.

308. Eccles cakes.

309. You're allowed 200 each on the plane. Ahem.

310. The Verrifast Plaine Company announce the departure

311. of flight one to over the hills and far away.

312. Will passengers for flight one please assemble

313. at gate one?

314. Passengers are advised that there is still plenty

315. of time to buy Eccles cakes.

316. Nearly ready.

317. All passengers please get ready for their barley sugar

318. injections, okay?

319. Oh. Today, we all take vow.

320. Today, we smash the enemy fleet.

321. We smash, smash.

322. [INDISTINCT [SCREAMING]

323. [MEN [LAUGHING]

324. Uh, now, that's Mr. Kamikaze, the pilot.

325. He's very nice, really, but make sure he stays clear

326. of battleships.

327. There have been many stirring tales told of the sea,

328. and also some fairly uninteresting ones

329. only marginally connected with it.

330. Uh, like this one.

331. Sorry, this isn't a very good announcement. Sorry.

332. And here is the result of the "Where to Put Edward."

333. "Heath's Statue" competition.

334. The winner was a Mr. Ivy North, who wins 10 guineas

335. and a visit to the sailors' quarters.

336. That was last year's reenactment of the battle of Pearl Harbor

337. performed by the Batley.

338. Townswomen's Guild.

339. It was written, directed and produced

340. by Mrs. Rita Fairbanks.

341. Hello again.

342. And what are your ladies gonna do for us this year?

343. Well, this year, we decided to reenact something

344. with a more modern flavor.

345. We had considered a version of Michael Stewart's

346. speech on Nigeria, and there were several votes

347. on the committee for a staging of Herr Willy Brandt's

348. visit to East Germany.

349. But we've settled, instead, for a dramatization

350. of the first heart transplant.

351. Incidentally, my sister, Madge, will be playing

352. the plucky little springbok pioneer,

353. Dr. Christian Barnard.

354. Off we go then,

355. with the Batley Townswomen's Guild reenactment

356. of the first heart transplant.

357. The first heart transplant.

358. But this is not the only open-air production here

359. that has used the sea.

360. Theatrical managers in this area have not been as slow

361. to appreciate the sea's tremendous dramatic value.

362. And somewhere, out in this bay, is the first underwater

363. production of Measure for Measure.

364. [MUFFLED SHAKESPEARIAN [DIALOGUE]

365. [MUFFLED SHAKESPEARIAN [DIALOGUE CONTINUES]

366. Right.

367. The underwater version of Measure for Measure.

368. And further out to sea, Hello, Dolly!

369. Is also doing good business.

370. ♪ Hello, Dolly ♪

371. And over there on the oyster beds,

372. Formula Two car racing.

373. Number 20... the armpits.

374. Number 21

375. the bottom two-thirds of the nape of the neck.

376. Number 22

377. the nipple.

378. And that concludes this week's episode

379. of How to Recognize.

380. Different Parts of the Body, adapted for radio

381. by Ann Haydon-Jones and her husband, Pip.

382. And now we present the first episode of a new radio

383. drama series:

384. The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots.

385. Part One:

386. The Beginning.

387. [MUSIC PLAYING [OVER RADIO]

388. You are Mary, Queen of Scots?

389. I am.

390. Ow! Ow!

391. Oh! No!

392. Episode two of The Death of Mary, Queen of Scots

393. can be heard on Radio 4

394. almost immediately.

395. [THUMPING, WOMAN.

396. SCREAMING]

397. I think she's dead.

398. No, I'm not.

399. [GUNSHOT, THUMPING, SCREAMING RESUMES]

400. That was episode two of The Death of Mary,

401. Queen of Scots, adapted for the radio

402. by Bernard Hollowood and Brian London.

403. And now Radio 4

404. will explode.

405. Oh.

406. We'll have to watch the telly then.

407. Yes.

408. Well... what's on the television then?

409. Looks like a penguin.

410. No, no, no, no.

411. I didn't mean what's on the television set.

412. I meant what program.

413. Ohh.

414. Oh.

415. ♪ Young and handsome ♪

416. ♪ Girl from Ipanema Goes walking ♪

417. It's funny that penguin being there, isn't it?

418. What's it doing there?

419. Standing.

420. I can see that.

421. If it lays an egg it will fall down the back

422. of the television set.

423. We'll have to watch that.

424. Mmm.

425. Unless it's a male.

426. Ooh, I never thought of that.

427. Yes.

428. Looks fairly butch.

429. Perhaps it comes from next door.

430. Penguins don't come from next door, they come

431. from the Antarctic.

432. Burma!

433. Why'd you say "Burma"? I panicked.

434. Oh.

435. Perhaps it's from the zoo.

436. Which zoo?

437. How should I know which zoo?

438. I'm not Dr. Bloody Bernowski.

439. How does Dr. Bernowski know which zoo it came from?

440. He knows everything.

441. Oh, I wouldn't like that.

442. It'd take the mystery out of life.

443. Anyway, if it came from the zoo, it'd have "Property"

444. "of the Zoo" stamped on it.

445. No, it wouldn't.

446. They don't stamp animals.

447. "Property of the Zoo."

448. You couldn't stamp a huge lion.

449. They stamp them when they're small.

450. What happens when they molt?

451. Lions don't molt.

452. No, but penguins do.

453. There, I've run rings around you, logically.

454. Oh. Intercourse the penguin.

455. It's, uh, just gone 8:00 and time for the penguin

456. on top of your television set to explode.

457. How did he know that was going to happen?

458. It was an inspired guess.

459. And now... Number 23... the shin.

460. Number 24.

461. Reginald Maudling's shin.

462. Number 25... the brain.

463. Number 26.

464. Margaret Thatcher's brain.

465. And number 27

466. more naughty bits.

467. Number 28

468. the naughty bits of the cabinet.

469. Number 29

470. the interior of a country house.

471. That's not a part of the body.

472. No, it's a link, though.

473. I didn't think it was very good.

474. No, it's the end

475. of the series. They must be out of ideas.

476. All right, don't anybody move.

477. There's been a murder.

478. A murder?

479. No, no.

480. Not murder. No.

481. Uh, what's like a murder but begins with B?

482. Birmingham?

483. No, no, no, no, no.

484. Burnley?

485. Burnley, that's right.

486. Burnley in Lancashire.

487. There's been a Burnley.

488. Burglary.

489. Yes. Good man.

490. Burglary.

491. That's it, of course.

492. There's been a burglary.

493. Where?

494. In the back, just below the rib.

495. No, that's murder.

496. Oh, no. In the... Eh, in the band.

497. In the bat. Barclays bat.

498. Barclays Bank?

499. Yes. Nasty business.

500. Got away with 23,000 pounds.

501. Any clues?

502. Any what?

503. Well, any evidence as to who did it?

504. Any clues, eh?

505. Ooh, we don't half talk posh, do we? Ha-ha!

506. I suppose you say "ehnvelope"

507. and "larngerie,"

508. and "sarndwiches on the settee."

509. This is a murder investigation, young man,

510. and murder is a very serious business.

511. I thought you said it was a burglary.

512. Burglary is almost as serious a business as murder.

513. Some burglaries are more serious.

514. A burglary in which someone gets stabbed is murder.

515. So don't come to these petty distinctions with me.

516. You're as bad as a judge.

517. Right. Now the first thing to do

518. in the event of a breach of a peace of any kind

519. is to go and...

520. Sorry, sorry. I was miles away.

521. Ah, ring the police?

522. Ring the police.

523. Get them over here fast.

524. No, get them over here slowly so they don't

525. drop anything.

526. Shall I make us all a cup of tea?

527. Make what you like, Boskovitch.

528. It won't help you in court. Hm-hm.

529. I beg your pardon?

530. I'm sorry. Sorry.

531. I'm on top of being on two cases at once.

532. I keep thinking I've got.

533. Boskovitch cornered, whereas in fact,

534. I'm investigating a Burnley.

535. Burglary?

536. Yes, good man.

537. Um... w-who's...?

538. Who's Boskovitch?

539. Ha!

540. Boskovitch is a Russian scientist

541. who's passing information to the Russians.

542. Classified information?

543. Oh, there he goes again.

544. "Classified information."

545. Oh, sitting on the settee with our scones

546. and our classified information.

547. Hello.

548. Oh, hello, Duckie.

549. Hello, sir.

550. How are you?

551. I'm fine, thanks.

552. How are you?

553. Well, sir, I'm a little bit moody today, sir.
