I got the daffodil part right
Lorry I've done you a slight diservice. In a way we were both right. The daffodil scene was originally in Carry On Nurse (1959). To critical acclaim, rather than the expected thermometer, daffodils were inserted into the rectum of Wilfred Hyde-White who playing an over-demanding patient. Carry On Doctor (1967), starring Frankie Howerd, contains a sly reference to that daffodil/thermometer scene. When a nurse approaches Francis Bigger (Howerd) with a daffodil, he says, "Oh no you don't! I saw that film!" Comic genius, but it won't help Max get off the hook. Actually, having seen the video, I think he'd quite enjoy the hook. |

In Andy's defence (on some of it anyway)
Frankie was born Howard, but was known professionally (don't know why) as Howerd...

Thanks for the heads up, I shall listen to that as i should be in the car around that time. Have you been following this series? http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/frankiehowerdratheryouthanme/The play detailing Tony Hancock's affair with John Le Meseurier's (sp?) wife was most touching and brilliantly acted. Wednesdays episode with Francis Howerd (Peter; note spelling!) looks very good, should be interesting to see how David Walliams copes with playing Howerd, he certainly looks the part, oh no yes missus. Appropos of nowt, Kenneth Horne went to my school. He was above me though, I was about seven when he died! |

This series is one of the few things I make an effort to catch. The Steptoe, and the Hancock ones were particular triumphs.
