Here in Grumble, Sid Pegg has called a meeting of Neighbour Watch.
Right, welcome to tonight's Neighbour Watch.
Thank you all for coming at short notice, but l felt we had to have an emergency meeting.
- What's happened? - Is there a problem? Yes, there is a problem.
Our old friend the Gypsy has moved into the close.
- Where are they? - Bloody hell, Lloyd, they're camping out on your lawn! No, no, that's our caravan.
Me and Susan just bought it.
Stay where you are.
We still need to be on our guard against the Gypsy threat.
There are swarms of them.
Shall l put the Findus Crispy Pancakes in? Yes, wife, Findus Crispy Pancakes go.
Now, how do we spot a Gypsy? A gyppo, a gyppolata.
Watch and learn.
Number one, your classic Gypsy.
Earring, neckerchief, waistcoat, and a look in his eye that says, ''l'm gonna Tarmac your drive.
'' Number two, Gypsy Joe Longthorne.
A sly fox.
Uses many different voices, but mainly Shirley Bassey.
Number three, the Gypsy Kings.
The actual kings of the Gypsies.
Last seen on Sunday, Sunday with Gloria Hunniford in 1988.
But beware.
They could be back in the charts at any moment.
Now we know the enemy.
Britain fights back.
- Wife! - Yes? Batchelors Super Noodles go, Mini Kievs on standby.
But what do we do if a Gypsy, or a herd of Gypsies as l believe they are known, turn up on your doorstep? Can l have a volunteer, please? Lloyd, l saw your hand go up.
Thank you, Lloyd.
Little Lloyd.
Lloyd was actually a contestant on The Weakest Link.
- Yes.
- Yes.
Right, well, a quick demo .
.
nstration.
Right, now, Lloyd, you are the Gypsy.
The gypmeister, the gyppola.
l'm sorry, l do think it's very offensive to talk about Gypsies in this way.
Good point, Mrs Vicar.
Let's not be racialist.
So you're the filthy Gypsy.
You're gonna ask me if l want to buy clothes pegs.
Do l have to? You've got very arrogant since you were on BBC2.
Sorry.
l'll be the Gypsy, then.
- Right.
- Hello, would you like to buy No, Gypsy, no! And it's as simple as that.
Britain fights back.
Thank you, Lloyd.
You are the weaker link.
Goobye.
Ohh, dear.
The weaker link.
Goodbye.
Right, now, that's Gypsies covered.
Nextasylum seekers.
No, we will not touch your bums.
- Wife! - Yes? Butterscotch Angel Delight, go! Vote Noel Hopkins in tomorrow's election.
In the charming Welsh village of Llanddewi Brefi, bottom enthusiast Dafydd Thomas is standing for election.
- Hello, Dafydd.
- Good afternoon, Mrs Teal.
- Can l count on your vote tomorrow? - Oh, are you standing in the by-election? lt's not just a bi-election, Mrs Teal, it's for gays and straights too.
Anyone can vote, regardless of sexuality.
Honestly, it's like banging your head against a brick wall.
- So who are you standing for? - The Gay Rights For Gays Party.
- That's nice.
- As l'm the only gay in the village, l shouldn't think anyone will be remotely interested.
Good day.
Oh, no, lots of folk round here drop anchor in Poo Bay.
ls that your manifesto? Let's have a look.
Ta.
lf l am elected, l promise to turn the park into a 24-hour gay cruising zone.
l shall knock down the old folks' home and build a gay sauna.
Er, Hot Bots.
That's right.
And l shall be erecting two statues on the village green there of Colin and Justin.
Oh, l love their shows! Oh, do you? Let me tell you this, Mrs Homophobe.
l was watching Makeover Madness and l have strong suspicions that at least one of them is a gay.
Oh, no, l think they're both full-time bummers.
Anyway, thank you for your time.
Good luck, Dafydd.
You can count on my support.
- Really? - Oh, yes.
l'm all for gay rights.
ln fact, l myself drink from the fury cup.
Dafydd? In her office, university lecturer Linda Flint is meeting a student.
I very nearly got into university, but security managed to stop me.
So that's a problem, is it? There are no copies of The Female Eunuch in the library so l can't really write the essay.
Oh, well, l've got a copy here.
- Great.
- But that's mine.
l don't want to lend it out.
Martin may have one in his office.
Martin, it's Linda.
A student wants to know if he can borrow your copy of The Female Eunuch.
Steve.
You know Steve.
He's got a beard, quite tall.
Have you ever seen It Ain't Half Hot, Mum? He looks like he's just stepped out of the shower.
Think Carmen Miranda without the fruit.
That's right, Ali Bongo.
- He says go straight up.
- My name's not Ali Bongo.
Sorry.
Steve, yes.
Steve Bongo.
