    Everything they say sounds absolutely filthy! How did they get away with it in that day and age, (1960s)? "Shake hands with your prospective member." "I stand behind the working man" and "I stand behind Jule, I'm his campaign manager." "He's an old campaigner, Mr Horne!"

      @raphael44ify Who could possibly be offended by futtock nadgering, lowering your scrodes or the like? Well Mary Whitehouse for one. She submitted many complàints to the Beeb with very little success. I gather J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock attracted quite a bit of her censorious ire. The Beeb took the view that if listeners wanted to attach a rude meaning to a word or phrase, that was entirely up to them. I bought a book of Round the Horne scripts years ago. In his forward the Director General of the BBC, Hugh Greene, said that if there was a question of taste in a script, it would be sent to him. He always returned it with the note 'I see nothing to object to in this.' He then went on to admit that he enjoyed 'dirty shows.' Thank goodness for it too. Imagine if Mary Whitehouse had managed to spoil our fun. I adored Round the Horne as a boy even though I wasn't old enough to understand some of it. Now as a 69 year old boy I love it even more with the advantage that I fully understand it all.

      Mainly because a lot of it was suggestion and implication, and their defence was always that there was nothing smutty about what they were doing, it was your imagination making it that way!
      Obviously, they fully knew what they were doing, and having two gay actors playing the roles heavily leant on the fourth wall, but they were smart enough to have plausible deniability. Mae West was getting away with it in the 30s with quips like, “I’m the girl who works for Paramount during the day and Fox all night” 😂 You’re meant to see the double entendre in Fox sounding like “Fucks” and she’s hinting at her infamous reputation, but the line itself isn’t actually risqué!

      If the BBC understood the slang, they would have certainly reined it in.
      An upright cottager could easily imply an erection, piano or a lady.
      Very few were thinking about a shag in the park with a gay stranger, standing up.
      Trade could be simply, on the pull - but we know it specifies gay partners.
      Notice how at times the audience laughs at seemingly random silly words. They get the reference.
      There would have been closet homosexuals listening in. A massive wink to them.
