TIGHT-ARSED STUTTERING grocercom rendered watchable by RONNIE “TWO” BARKER’s saucer-eyed suffering performance. Playing second fiddle: DAVID JASON as the world’s oldest Hungarian errand boy and LYNDA BARON as “pneumatic” Nurse Gladys. Knackered till, knackered bike, “bit o’ supper”, “dangler”, “ter-ter-treacle” “ter-ter-toffee”, trying to get off with the milkwoman etc. all present.

Wrestling’s Golden Age – Grapples, Grunts and Grannies
Sunday, 22.05, BBC4Mick McManus died this week, alas, and remember him this way with another outing for this absolutely brilliant documentary from just before Christmas about British wrestling at its earthiest. There are some hilarious bits in it, like Johnny Kincaid being told he had to pretend he was from Barbados even though he’d never been there, Klondike Kate reminiscing about the fishwives throwing foot-and-mouth-disease injections at her, an interviewee saying “excuse my language” after he’d said the obscene word “bum” and the fantastically good value Max “brother of Shirley” Crabtree, the big kahuna in the “sport” in its imperial phase, explaining how they came up with the concept of Big Daddy after Shirley complained to him that “me whole career’s gone to cock!”. Great stuff.
