Quotes
- Kimberley: Why are you late?
Keith Chegwin: Because my sister buried me today.
Andy: Oh for fuck’s sake! Why would your sister bury you?! That would be mental.
Keith Chegwin: Well, sorry I got so confused. The thing is my sister’s not dead. - Chegwin: 14 years at the BBC. Swap Shop. Cheggers Plays Pop. Still run by Jews and Queers, is it?
Andy: Jews and Quee-?! I think there are a few Jewish people, and some gay people yeah.
Chegwin: (sarcastically) "Gay!" I forgot, not allowed to say queer nowadays, are you? Suggests something abnormal. What could be more normal than shoving your cock up a bloke's arse? Let's face it; If God had wanted a cock up an arse, he wouldn't have given us minges. Men have knobs. Women have fannies. Pop knob in fanny. Not up the arse.
Andy: Should really be taking notes.
Chegwin: What?
Andy: Nothing. Its all good advice.
