[Subject: Casablanca]


Derek Nimmo: So after this terrible sandstorm, my camel arrived in Casablanca. And I took out my rosary beads and crossed myself, and thanked the good Lord for allowing me to survive the terrible hardships that I’d undergone before I reached Casablanca. And then I wandered into a rather pretty little bar where there were some unusually effete and scented Englishmen sitting there, wrapped in long dishdashers which as you know is a sort of robe that people tend to wear in that part of the world. One of them was ordering a dry martini, and instead of having an olive in it, he had a date, which I thought was rather singular. But then Casablanca is a strange...

BUZZ

Nicholas P: Peter Jones has challenged.

Peter Jones: What about the camel?

[loud audience laughter]

Nicholas: *laughing* Oh!

Peter Jones: Did he leave him outside? In the burning heat after he’d taken him all this vast distance?

Nicholas P: I love the way that your mind works Peter. All of the rest, we were listening for any [mistakes] he did in Just A Minute, and all you were thinking about was this poor camel!

Peter J: Well, I love animals, you know, particularly when they save people’s lives as this one obviously did.

Kenneth Williams: Oh no, I wasn’t in the least bit interested in the camel, but I liked all those effete blokes with dates in the gin!
