Nothing on there I can see. I do know the sketch you refer to, it was also
reused in the last goon show of all I seem to recall, though on the cassette

often the bits I would like to see are skipped across. For instance when

Bodorgan, Malltreath, Newborough Warren and Ynes Llanddwyn. I too have a

Eccles cakes are not what they used to be. I know not why. We used to

BB: Oooh look Eccles. There's a sign pointing to you!
E: But I'm here Bluebottle.
BB: That means.... um... the sign must be pointing the wrong way den?
E: Not if we go over dere where the sign is pointing, it won't be.
BB: But we aren't going that way!
E: Oooooh. No. You're right, you clever little boy scout you.
BB: Never mind. I'll do a good turn and turn the sign around so it
points towards you.
E: That's a good idea my little friend. I'll just pull over next to this
pond.
BB: And I'll get out my boy scout knife with the attachment for getting
boy scouts out of horses hoofs and turning around road signs.
