Product Information

From the 19th century on, Polari was used in London fishmarkets, the theatre, fairgrounds, and circuses, hence the many borrowings from Romani. [9] As many homosexual men worked in theatrical entertainment, it was also used among the gay subculture at a time when homosexual activity was illegal, to disguise homosexuals from hostile outsiders and undercover policemen. It was also used extensively in the British Merchant Navy, where many gay men joined ocean liners and cruise ships as waiters, stewards, and entertainers. [10] The same year, the English-language localisation of the Japanese video game Dragon Quest Builders 2 included a character called Jules, who spoke in Polari with non-standard capitalisation. [33] [34] Horne's other work of 1957 included The Benny Hill Show, It's Magic, This Is Showbusiness, Pleasure Boat and Twenty Questions. [65] On hearing the news Kenneth Williams wrote in his diary that "I loved that man. His unselfish nature, his kindness, tolerance and gentleness were an example to everyone". [108] In The Sunday Times in February 1969, Paul Jennings wrote of him: "If I ever knew a gentleman, it was Kenneth Horne.... He gave you his whole attention, his whole courtesy. And what a courtesy it was!... I knew him in the context of panel games, to which his marvellous unforced humour, spontaneous but beautifully timed, always added sparkle." [109] Technique [ edit ]

There was one more outing for our intrepid detective before the 1989 series Campion, and that was an episode in the anthology series Detective, which employed a team of top television writers to bring lesser known fictional sleuths to life on the small screen. Based on the short story The Case of the Late Pig this episode featured Albert Smith as Campion and George Sewell as Lugg who are called in to clear up the stranger's death and find themselves involved in a mystery unguessed at by the people they have come to help.

(subscription required)After his death, Horne was eulogised in The Times as "a master of the scandalous double-meaning delivered with shining innocence", [101] while The Sunday Mirror called him "one of the few personalities who bridged the generation gap" and "perhaps the last of the truly great radio comics."

Here are the answers to last week's questions. First, the " Where Do You Find It?" question. The answer came in several parts, as follows: wound round a sailor's leg, on top of the wardrobe, floating in the bath, under a prize bull, and in a lay-by on the Watford Bypass. At least, I found one there, but I couldn't use it, because it was covered in verdigris. Horne: (pause) There's one little place that you really must see when you go to Bermuda, Murdoch...
