Young Ones Screen Flash

that every so often there are screen flashes. After spending some time with the
Freeze Frame we discovered pictures of a frog, a skier and a dove. The dove and
frog were in Sick and the skier was in Cash. We think they may have something to
do with the dialogue that follows, but wondered if there is any reason for them
other than that, who is respnosible for them and why the BBC let them do it.

I doubt if the Beeb even noticed. I remember a few years ago the
Spiitin' Image team got a b*llocking in the national press for using
the techniques which is supposidly illegal (subliminal advertising ?).
They actually displayed a page of text ripping someone or something
apart but I can't remember whom.

Was it Spitting Image that superimposed the head of either Norris
McWhirter or his brother onto a picture of a naked woman for a couple of
frames?
If not who was it? I do seem to remember someone getting a bollocking
for it...

I seem to remember seeing one in TIME ,when it was last shown on Beeb 2. I
think it was a sail off a yacht. I don't ever remember seeing the flashes when
it was first broadcast, I used to record them on video and would remember if I
had ever seen them. I did think that they had been added after so that when
they were shown on Beeb 2 again no-one would video them, or if they did they
would get the flashes and think, "bollocks, that's really annoying" and then
they would go out and buy the videos. I'm probably totally wrong.

The Young Ones' production team were responsible for the screen flashes, which
were an elaborate joke: the idea was that there was some hidden meaning to
them taken all together (ie the joke was spread across the whole series). It
was covered in the press at the time.

Screen flashes like those in TYO or Spitting Image are not "subliminal" (if
they were, you wouldn't have noticed them!). That's why they were allowed to
do it.

There was a minimum time for a flash frame laid down by the IBA (I guess it is
still upheld by the ITC). If a flash frame lasts less than the specified time
then complaints will result in action being taken against the TV company
involved.

There is a book called "Tooth and Claw, the Inside Story of Spitting Image"

Probably the funniest programme ever broadcast on radio, and still very
popular in the USA, I'm led to believe. There should be something on it
in the BritCom Digest.
Scripted by Barry Took and Marty Feldman*. Starring Kenneth Horne*,
Kenneth Williams*, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden, Bill Pertwee and
Douglas Smith*. * = Now dead.
Williams and Paddick played a couple of 'gay' out-of-work actors "filling in
between engagements" - they were called Julian and Sandy and sketches would
start with Kenneth Horne ordering domestics or entering a law firm or a dating
agency. Then Paddick would say "Hello, I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy"
and they would continue in an *extremely* camp, lewd, bawdy and suggestive
manner for the rest of the sketch.
Some of the characters Ken Williams played also warrant a mention. There was
Rambling Syd Rumpo, a country bumpkin who would come on and sing 'folk songs'
where half the words were made up but sounded very rude and hence were
totally hilarious.
My favourite was J. Peasmould Gruntfuttock ("My father was a Grunt from the
Rotherhide Grunts and my mother was an Oxton Futtock"), a completely 'ordinary'
man who would assume exhalted titles every week, such as Archbishop or King
Gruntfuttock III of Peasmouldia, etc.
AFAIK the BBC Radio Collection sells six double-cassettes (24 half-hour episodes).

Before your time:-
" 'Ello I'm Jules and this is my friend Sandeey - Ooo 'ello mister 'Orne!"
Round the Horne, Saturday lunchtime, Light Programme. Joolz & Sandi
(errm..sp) appeared in every episode, running some enterprise or other
that was patronised by Kenneth Horne. I know they did a hairdresser
('course), but ISTR there was a building company as well, amongst others.
Out-ness, in its day.
I didn't get this for years, because I didn't realise that men could be
lesbians too. Or something. Well, that was my thinking, anyway.

Ah yes but they also talked using an argot called "Polari" which was the
secret language of the gay community - this was why they kept coming up
with things like "Ooh Mr'Orne 'ow lovely to vada yer eek again."
> My favourite was J. Peasmould Gruntfuttock
Note also Doctor Chu En Ginsberg - Japanese Master Spy (played with
increasing resentment by Kenneth Williams) and those two darlings of the
thirties stage and screen Dame Cecelia Molestrangler and Binkie Huckaback.
Happy days - round the Horne used to be on the radion on a Sunday Lunchtime
and the sound of Rambling Sid Rumpo dangling his cordwangles-o is
in extricably linked with the sight of my Dad carving the Sunday joint and the
smell of Mum's gravy and Yorkshire pud.

Actually, Polari (Parlare?) was actually used by theatricals rather than
by the gay community, albeit the two did tend to coincide in the days of
Noel Coward, Binky Beaumont, Ivor Novello and so on. It seems to contain
a mixture of dog Italian (vada < vedere = to see) Latin (bona = good)
backslang (riah = hair) and a lot of inexplicable (?) words like "latty" =
house, "eek" = face, "lallies" = arms (or is it legs?).
Jules (Hugh Paddick) was the sensitive artiste with a broken heart. I
think the love of his life was called Gerald, but they definitely met in
Tangier.
Their predecessors in Eric Merriman's Beyond Our Ken were the prissy (but
not overtly gay) couple Rodney and Charles. More overt was Merriman's
superb satire of wet English musical comedy in a BOK piece called"Follow
That Salad" (Follow That Dream/Salad Days) in which Paddick played the
author Julian Wilson (Julian Slade/Sandy Wilson) and Williams the leading
man. From the audience reaction, there was a good deal of camping up in
the studio invisible to the listeners. It culminated in the lover duet
between the leading lady (who won the part in a raffle) and the not very
masculine leading man, entitled "That's What You Do To Me"
You're the ripples in a stream, you're a tin of clotted cream,
You're the teabag in a pot of tea,
You're a piano played by Russ, you're a No. 13 bus,
Yes, that's what you are to me ...
You're a breath of spring, a Ming, a thing
To cherish every day,
You're a lucky charm, a chicken farm,
You're a load of new-mown hay,
You're the winner of the fight,
You're the stuff that washes white,
You're a frogman underneath the sea,

Yes, I toyed with the idea of typing all the characters in, but suddenly I was
overtaken by an urge to dig my RTH tapes out and play them all again.

As this thread seems to have turned into a discussion of Round the Horne
should not it be entitled "Joolz and Sandi's lallies".
I was always quite taken by Dr Chu En Ginsburg's lovely assistant, Lotus
Blossom (as played by Hugh Padick), and the various parts played by the
announcer (Roger Greenslade?) which culminated in him playing the whole
of the Earth, years before Orson Wells got to play the part of a planet
in some animated film.

Surely, the announcer was the bona Douglas Smith. You're
getting confused with The Goon Show and Wallace Greenslade. Such
confusion indicates a completely nurdled posett and a cordwangle

Actually, I believe Parlare was primarily gay, rather than primarily
"theatrical" (and some might argue that the two tend to coincide even
today). It's one of the reasons why so much of Parlare pertains to the
face and body: it basically allowed gay men to discuss things
extremely discreetly. One can still hear it used in the more
provincial gay circles in England (or perhaps I'm merely betraying my
age).
Although the origin of some of it does seem quite obscure, I recall
that "eek" is simply a contraction of ecaf (which is, of course, face
spelled backwards), and lallies are legs. I also recall "pots in the
cupboard" (teeth), naff (commonplace), nantois (bad) packet or carts
(the groin area) and dish (rump). I'm sure there are more I've
forgotten.
Although there is "The Queen's Vernacular" which documents gay North
American slang usage, Parlare seems sadly underdocumented, and I
expect it to disappear completely quite soon. The politically
excruciatingly correct will claim it was a badge of oppression and say
good riddance to it, but I will mourn its passing.
Cheers,

...well yes. Imagine waking up Yuletide morning and finding JSJ in a
stocking at the end of you bed - phew!

Love and office parties with things on sticks and being away from the Net
for a week and being dragged 'round to all sorts of "friends" and relatives
and having to make intelligent conversation and eat their home-made mince
pies and Christmas puddings and no Judy Garland films on the box (oops, what
a give-away) and no snow and NOT finding TLJSJ in my stocking...oh, humbug!!!
Kissie-kissie, happy Yuletide,
