Granddad in OFAH. "What's he got, a Wendy House" From the reaction of David Jason, I swear that was an ad-lib that got left in.

Is there a link or any more information on this, Thought i had seem them all but don't remember this gag, did a youtube search but found nothing?

A few more OFAH:

Del: "Asking us if we know anything about chandeliers is like asking Mr Kipling if he knows anything about cakes".

Del playing cards for big money with Boycey. Del: "Ffffffour aces!" Boycey: I didn't know you were good at maths, Del".

Del to Grandad when he's unscrewing the bolts doing the chandelier: "Do you need a jemmy, Grandad?" No thanks. I 'ad one before we left!" :lolol:

"Money tennis!" Never fails to make me laugh, despite seeing it hundreds of times.

Mrs Slocombe in Are You Being Served:

“I hope this isn’t going to take long, Captain Peacock. The last time I was late, a fireman had to climb out of my bedroom window and risk his life on a narrow ledge tryin’ to grab hold of my c.unt.”

Or something like that :shrug:

I'm 95% certain it was in one of the early episodes. When I watched it I didn't think it was that funny but Lennard Pearce was such a brilliant actor that he could make a joke out of anything with perfect timing.

Was he wild when you found him?

Wild? I was livid!
Have you done that from memory?
"When I caught Gerald, in '68, he was completely wild"
"Wild? I was absolutely lived!"

It was in the script, I have a book with all the scripts in.
Does the book say the script is as originally written, and then make notes if anyone ever ad-libbed, or have they added the ad-libbing so that the script reflects what was broadcast?

Father Ted: Dougal, you know you can praise God in other ways.
Father Dougal: Oh yeah, like that time you told me I could praise him just by leaving the room.

O'Reilly: I'm tellin' you, if the good lord...
Basil Fawlty: ...Is mentioned once more, I shall move you closer to him.

My all-time favourite - I think it was 2 Ronnies:

Customer (Barker): I want some deoderant please.
Foreign shopkeeper with strange accent(Corbett): Ball or aerosol? (pronounced arrrsol)
Customer (indignant): Neither! Its for under my arms!

Or something like that. Not even certain which Ronnie did which part.

"Oh hello I'm a doctor I'm going to be fingering you today" You can barely get a quote from Phoneshop in but this one is a start :bowdown:
