Dad used to say 'Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs! when someone said something unbelievable, Grans comment would be 'I'ts all my hind leg and Betty Martin!', If you can make anything of that , you're a better man than I am.
Incidentally, I saw a mention of Whippet Quick way back in this thread. This was from a WW2 show 'Stand Easy', featuring Cheerful Charlie Chester.
Whippet Quick was 'The Master Criminal of All Time', aided and abetted by Ray-Ling (The Chinese Fence). For some reason their adventures took place in a jungle situated on the African border of Japonica.
This gave an excuse for a running joke about the 'dreaded jungle drums' always followed by a chant from the orchestra :-
Down in the jungle, chanting every day,
You can hear the natives all say.......

Followed by a two line tag based on something in that week's news.

Hess lands in Scotland looking for a meal,
Didn't bring us Hitler, No Deal!

The memories of Childhood!
