Frampton: I got three cheeks.

Host: Yes, yes, Splendid, splendid. Well...we were wondering, Mr. Frampton, if you...could...see your way clear...

Frampton: (seeing a camera moving round behind him) Here? What's that camera doing?

Host: Er, nothing, nothing at all, sir. We were wondering if you could see your way clear...to giving us...a quick... a quick... visual... Mr. Frampton, will you take your trousers down?

Frampton: What? (slapping away a hand from off-screen) 'Ere, get off! I'm not taking me trousers down on television. Who do you think I am?

Host: Please take them down.

Frampton: No.

Host: Just a little bit.

Frampton: No.

Host: No, er ahem...(firmly) Now look here Mr. Frampton... It's perfectly easy for somebody just to come along here to the BBC simply claiming... that they have a bit to spare in the botty department...but the point is Mr. Frampton... our viewers need proof.

Frampton: I've been on Persian Radio...Get off! Arthur Figgis knows I've got three buttocks.

Host: How?

Frampton: We go cycling together.

Announcer: And now for something completely the same - a man with three buttocks. (phone on desk rings - he answers it) Hullo? ...Oh, did we. (puts phone down; to camera) And now for something completely different. A man with three noses.

Off-screen Voice:
He's not here yet!

Announcer: Two noses?

Stock shot of audience of Woman's Institute type, applauding. A man (G.C.) flourishing a handkerchief blows his nose. Then he puts his handkerchief inside his shirt and blows again. Stock shot of women applauding again.
