The Man from the BBC   From: Charles Gardiner. Performed in And then it Happened by Ken Langsbury
We had a feller as what's come up from the BBC afore last week.  He were asking old Ron Tobbins about farming in the old days.  Said as how he wanted to know how they carried on when they had the Harvest Home and such like.  Trouble were, old Ron Tobbins didn't believe in a lot of things - especially things like the Milk Board and the Commons Market - so he thinks as how if he tells this BBC gentleman all about the terrible, desperate state of farmers, he might get something done about it.
Well, off goes old Ron Tobbins, a-clipping on like a lot of hounds - you should have heard him!  After about ten minutes, this here BBC gentleman whoas him up and says, "Quite, Mr Tobbins!  Quite." says he.  "But I has me doubts if your views on these subjects would be of a great interest to the general public.  Nope!" says he.  "What we wanted was a ...  a delicate retrospector."  "Oh, I see, Master," says old Ron Tobbins, a-taking off his billy-cock and a-gaping into it, "But I has me doubts if we grows one of they on the farm."
