Synopsis

"Cupboard"

Chat on diaries leads to karl's revelation that Anne Frank was in a cupboard; the first place the nazis would look for her. Ricky and Steve explain that she was being hidden by her relatives and friends, it's merit as a humanist tragedy, whereas Karl isn't impressed that she didnt manage to keep hidden from troops.

"Proclaimers"

Ricky gets a request from Matt Lucas to play a song -- Karl thinks it's ABBA because "it's good innit?". Ricky mocks the style of the Proclaimers, thinking that you should pop them on after you've had a good shifty through the muppets album and the crankies greatest hits.

"Hubbard"

Not to be confused with the bain on manking, L. Ron. Hubbard, Mother Hubbard's ryhme is explored by ricky and steve who think it's perhaps based up on a lonely old woman's difficulties. Ricky pukes up some of his "weak observations, poorly performed" on Humpty dumpty, and reaches a hand out to the audience to ask where it comes from, which is most likely about a cannon that fell off a wall.

Ricky slags off the dog in the mother hubbard ryhme becaue of it's pipe smoking ability and it's dancing, and delivers a shocker in the form of the dog sucking on a choc ice, which is fine.
