Second Assistant: There's a 'Bridget - Queen of the Whip'.
Porn Shop Customer: Yes...
Second Assistant: Or 'Naughty Nora'... or there's this one: 'Doug, Bob and Gordon Visit the Ark Royal'. Or there's 'Sister Teresa: The Spanking Nun'.
Porn Shop Customer: Mmmm, I see. You don't have anything specially about Devon and Cornwall?
Second Assistant: No, I'm afraid not, sir.
Porn Shop Customer: The one I was really after was Arthur Hotchkiss's 'Devonshire Country Churches'.
Second Assistant: Well how about this, sir: 'Bum Biters'?
Porn Shop Customer: No, not really. I don't suppose you have any general surveys of English church architecture?
Second Assistant: No, it's not really our line, sir.
Porn Shop Customer: No, I see. Well, never mind I'll just take the 'Lord Lieutenant in Nylons' then, and trade in these two copies of 'Piggie Parade'. Thank you.

Superintendent Gaskell: Look. This is the last time. I'm warning you, I'm not Sir Philip-bleeding-Sidney. I am Superintendent Harold Gaskell and this is a raid.
Second Assistant: [to a customer, ignoring Gaskell] That'll be 540 quid, sir.
Man with Pile of Books: Oh, I'll just have this one then.
Superintendent Gaskell: Maddox!
[Turns to all in shop]
Superintendent Gaskell: Look, this is a raid... Honestly!

Roger Last: [chat show set with three guests slumped in their seats] Good evening. Tonight on "Is There?" we examine the question of life after death. And here to discuss it are three dead people. The late Sir Brian Hardacre, former curator of the Imperial War Museum; the late Professor Thynne, until recently an academic, critic, and broadcaster; and putting the view of the Church of England, the very late Prebendary Reverend Ross. Gentlemen, is there a life after death or not? Sir Brian?
[silence]
Roger Last: Professor?
[no response]
Roger Last: Prebendary?
[no response]
Roger Last: Well there we have it, three say no. On "Is There?" next week, we'll be discussing the question "Is there enough of it about?" Until then, goodnight.
