-
- Welcome to "History Today." With me in the chair today is Professor
- F.J.Lewis, Emeritus Professor of History at All Souls College Oxford,
- and we will talking about British History between 1931 and 1937,
- "The Austerity Years" and principally the effect that rationing had
- on changes in Government at that time. Professor Lewis I wonder what
- you feel the nexus of cause and effect to be here?
-
- See that Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards ?
-
- Yes ?
-
- That's you that is. That's your mum.
-
- See that Peter Beardsley ?
-
- I am aware of him.
-
- That's your girlfriend that is.
-
- Oh, a-ha-ha-ha. You see that old lady over there ?
-
- Yes.
-
- You love her.
-
- I don't.
-
- Psst ! Oy, 'scuse me. He fancies you.
-
- You see Thora Hird ?
-
- I am aware of her work.
-
- You fancy her.
-
- Oh ? You are her.
-
- I'm not. I'm bloody not. How could you say that ?
-
- You are her, everyone thinks you are. She's like your best friend.
-
- Well, thank you Professor Lewis. I'd just like to say...
-
- You're gay you are.
-
- Just as a postscript to what we've been saying Professor Lewis, I'd
- like to say...
-
- I saw your mum coming out of the V.D. clinic.
-
- I'd like to say that anyone with A.I.D.S... that's you that is,
- that's your girlfriend and your mum and your dad. You know like a
- pair of pants with some cack in it ? That's you that is.
-
- Well, I haven't come on this programme to be insulted. Good night.
