She was 38 and retired from the biz, so she probably didn't feel the need to wear her usual, uncomfortable scaffolding. And still being married to Dr Melsheimer, who didn't approve of her showbusiness career, she probably didn't want to annoy him. Sabrina told me he had a volatile temper.

Yes, how on earth did Kenneth Williams get away with this stuff on the BBC Light Programme (later Radio 2) in the mid 1960's at Sunday lunchtimes? As a young teenager I ate my lunch with the rest of the family and if I was lucky the wireless (radio) would be left on after the preceding and completely wholesome "Family Favourites", giving way to half an hour of risque suggestiveness from Williams, Paddick etc. held together by the urbane deadpan Kenneth Horne. My parents sat in mystified silence whilst my younger sister and I tried not to choke on our food as we suppressed our guffaws at the double-entendres, all of which we "got." Rambling Syd was our favourite: eg at 08:25 to the tune "Clementine":- "Joe, he was a young cordwangler, monging greebles he did go And he loved a bogler's daughter by the name of Chiswick Flo" Priceless.
@nylonnet8 ай бұрын
I heard a rumour that the stuffy BBC bigwigs didn't really understand the jokes and - when in doubt - they trusted that conservative, staid, reliable Kenneth Horne would take quick and decisive action if anything naughty should happen. Alternative theory - the BBC bigwigs feigned ignorance but loved the rudities as much as everyone else who understood them. I prefer the second theory.

Sure about that? A lot of the alternative comedians of the eighties are thoroughly mainstream. Without them, we'd not have had Not The Nine O'Clock News, The Young Ones, Blackadder or anything else that came after them. And you could make a reasonable claim that the Pythons were alternative, too.

I'm sure they did. Had they not, it wouldn't have proven such a hit. There's an odd perception amongst some younger listeners that those listening to ground-breaking comedy at the time it first aired weren't "in the know", so would just laugh along whilst failing to understand why. Oh dear, it was ever thus. The young, hiding its ignorance behind the veil of assumption. I hope I never varder your dolly old eek or I may have to fetch it a punch up the bracket. 😂

I have seen Sabrina in several old movies and on Associated-Rediffusion tv with Arthur Askey, who always called her Norma (her real name was Norma Sykes). When something went wrong, as it so often did on 'live' tv in those days, Arthur would say 'Oh well, back to the laundry on Monday, Norma'. Yes, very much of its time, and Sabrina didn't (or couldn't) do much, but she didn't need to. Ah, it was a world away and she was the epitome of British glamour.
