\"Summertime<\/p>\n

Cannon and Ball appeared on this summer show in 1988.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their segment was a short bit of stand-up to start with, then a sketch with Lulu, followed by their own rendition of Wind Beneath My Wings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sketch with Lulu was a re-creation of the sketch they had originally performed with Iris Williams in Series 4<\/a> of The Cannon and Ball show, where they push each other off a wall while singing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tommy: No, I’m not pulling her.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Go on, pull it Tommy<\/p>\n

Tommy: No I am not<\/p>\n

Bobby: Go on, pull it (Crouching and speaking to lady in audience) Hey, I think he’s trying to pull you.<\/p>\n

Tommy: I\u2019m not<\/p>\n

Bobby: He is, he\u2019s pulling you<\/p>\n

Tommy: Shut up<\/p>\n

Bobby: You stupid person! You nearly knocked me off the piggin\u2019 stage then.<\/p>\n

Tommy: I’m trying to talk to this lady aren’t I? You\u2019re butting in. You shut your mouth.<\/p>\n

Bobby: It\u2019s a free country<\/p>\n

Tommy: Never mind what it is.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Well, I can speak if I want.<\/p>\n

Tommy: I’m not saying you can’t speak. Don’t do it while I’m speaking, right.<\/p>\n

Bobby: It\u2019s a free country.<\/p>\n

Tommy: I know it is<\/p>\n

Bobby: It\u2019s a free country.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tommy: Be quiet. (To audience member) Darling, I\u2019m awfully sorry but may I say it\u2019s a lovely hairdo. Have you had your hair done?<\/p>\n

Bobby: Or have you come on a motorbike?<\/p>\n

Tommy: Now you\u2019ve\u2026<\/p>\n

Bobby: I didn\u2019t mean it<\/p>\n

Tommy: Forget it<\/p>\n

Bobby: It were a joke<\/p>\n

Tommy: No, no, that\u2019s not nice<\/p>\n

Bobby: But wait a minute, Tom. No, I wanna\u2026 what’s with all the\u2026 (gestures at Toms suit)? Very very nice, very very nice.<\/p>\n

Tommy: The gear. I’ll tell you what\u2019s with it shall I? Tonight I\u2019m going to do something different.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Are you? What you doing? What we doing?<\/p>\n

Tommy: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Lulu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Lulu enters)<\/p>\n

Bobby: What are you doing?<\/p>\n

Tommy: We’re going to do a duet.<\/p>\n

Bobby: A duet. Great. Well, there’s three of us. Get off (pushes Lulu away)<\/p>\n

Tommy: No, no, no. You’re the one what’s going<\/p>\n

Bobby: No, no<\/p>\n

Tommy: I said this, I’m sorry<\/p>\n

Bobby: No, I’ve just come on<\/p>\n

Tommy: No, no, this this is my new partner. You’re going.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Your new partner. So I’ve finished.<\/p>\n

Tommy: You\u2019re done<\/p>\n

Bobby: Thanks, Tom.<\/p>\n

Tommy: You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

Bobby: After all these years. I\u2019ll not forget this, Lulu. You’ve stabbed me in the back. Just remember this Tommy.<\/p>\n

Tommy: Yes<\/p>\n

Bobby: He who laughs laughs\u2026. (To audience) Shut up, shut up\u2026 He who laughs last gathers no moss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sings: Yours till the stars lose their glory, yours till the birds fail to sing.<\/p>\n

(The sketch continued throughout the song)<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Bobby: Ladies and gentlemen, Lulu. (To Tommy) Not you.<\/p>\n

Tommy: Thank you. Thank you. Now ladies and gentlemen we would like to sing for you our latest single.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Oh yes. Our latest single and it’s got to number 345 in the charts and rising.<\/p>\n

Tommy: Ladies and gentlemen, the song is called wind beneath my wings.
