Hello, good evening and welcome to Election Night Special
There's tremendous excitement here at the moment
And we should be getting the first results through any moment now
We're not sure where it will be from
It might be Leicester or from West Byfleet
The polling's been quite heavy in both areas
Ah, I'm just getting, I'm just getting a buzzing noise in my left ear
Urgh, argh!
And now let's go straight over to Leicester
And it's a straight fight here at Leicester and
We're expecting the result any moment now
There with the Returning Officer is Arthur Smith
The sensible candidate, and next to him is Jethro Q Walrustitty
The silly candidate with his agent and his silly wife
Here is the result for Leicester. Arthur J. Smith
Sensible Party
30,612
Jethro Q. Bunn Whackett Buzzard Stubble and Boot Walrustitty
Silly Party
33,108
Well, there we have the first result of the election
And the Silly Party has held Leicester Norman
Well, pretty much as I predicted, except that the Silly party won
Er, I think this is largely due to the number of votes cast
Gerald
Well, there's a big swing here to the Silly Party
But how big a swing I'm not going to tell you
I think one should point out that in this constituency
Since the last election, a lot of very silly people have moved into new housing estates
With the result that a lot of sensible voters have moved further down the road the other side of number er, 29
Well, I can't add anything to that, Colin?
Can I just say that this is the first time I've been on television?
No I'm sorry, there isn't time
We're just going straight over to Luton
Well, here at Luton, it's a three-cornered contest between
From, from left to right, Alan Jones
(Sensible Party)
Tarquin Fin-tim-lim-bin-
Lim-bin-bim-bim-bim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olรฉ-Biscuitbarrel
(Silly Party)
And Kevin Phillips-Bong
Who is running on the Slightly Silly ticket
And here's the result
Alan Jones
Sensible
9,112
Kevin Phillips-Bong
Slightly Silly
Nought
Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lin-bim-bus-stop-
F'tang-F'tang-Olรฉ-Biscuitbarrel
Silly
12,441
Well, there you have it, the first result of the election
As the Silly Party take Luton
Norman
Well, this is a very significant result
Luton, normally a very sensible constituency
With a high proportion of people
Who aren't a bit silly, has gone completely ga-ga
And we've just heard that James Gilbert has
With him the winning Silly candidate at Luton
Tarquin, are you pleased with this result?
Ho yus, me old beauty, I should say so
And do we have the swing at Luton?
Er, no
Right, well I can't add anything to that. Colin?
Can I just say that this is the second time I've been on television?
No, I'm sorry there isn't time, we're just about to get another result
And this one is from Harpenden Southeast
A very interesting constituency, this
In addition to the official Silly candidate
There is an unofficial Very Silly candidate, in the slab of concrete
And he could well split the silly vote here at Harpenden Southeast
Mrs Elsie Zzzz
Silly
26,317
Jeanette Walker
Sensible
26,318
That was very close!
Malcolm Peter Brian Telescope Adrian
Blackpool Rock Stoatgobbler John Raw Vegetable Brrrooo
Norman Michael
Edward
Thomas Moo
We'll keep a welcome in the-
William
Raindrops keep falling on my
Don't sleep in the subway
(Cuckoo, cuckoo)
Naaooo, Smith
Very Silly
Two
Well, there you have it
A Sensible gain at Harpenden with the Silly vote being split
And we've just heard from Luton that
Tony Stratton-Smith has with him there
The unsuccessful Slightly Silly candidate, Kevin Phillips-Bong
Kevin Phillips-Bong
You polled no votes at all
Not a sausage
Bugger all
Are you at all disappointed with this performance?
Not at all
As I always say
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every by-way
Till you find your dream
A dream that will last
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live
All together now!
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
A very brave Kevin Phillips-Bong there
Norman
And I've just heard from Luton that my aunt is ill
Possibly, gastro-enteritis, possibly just catarrh
Gerald
Right. Er, Colin?
Can I just say he'll never appear on television again?
No I'm sorry, there isn't time
We have to pick up a few results you may have missed
A little pink pussy-cat has taken Barrow-in-Furness
That's a gain from the Liberals there
Rastus Odinga Odinga has taken Wolverhampton Southwest
That's Enoch Powell's old constituency
An important gain there for Darkie Power
Arthur Negus has held Bristols
That's not a result
That's just a bit of gossip
Sir Alec Douglas Hume has taken Oldham for the Stone Dead party
A small piece of putty about that big
A cheese mechanic from Dunbar and two frogs
One called Kipper
The other one not have all gone "Ni-ni-ni, ni-ni-ni-ni-ni!" in Blackpool Central
And so it's beginning to look like a silly landslide
And with the prospect of five more years' Silly government facing us, we
Oh, I don't want to do this any more, I'm bored!
He's right you know, it is a bloody waste of time
Absolute waste of time
I wanted to be a gynaecologist
Is that what you wanted to be a gynaecologist?
There's tremendous excitement here at the moment

[04:24.84] The unsuccessful Slightly Silly candidate, Kevin Phillips-Bong
[04:28.61] Kevin Phillips-Bong
[04:31.67] You polled no votes at all
[04:33.91] Not a sausage
[04:36.62] Bugger all
[04:39.25] Are you at all disappointed with this performance?
[04:42.04] Not at all
[04:43.81] As I always say
[04:45.45] Climb every mountain
[04:47.58] Ford every stream
[04:49.23] Follow every by-way
[04:51.16] Till you find your dream
[04:52.95] A dream that will last
[04:56.39] All the love you can give
[04:59.12] Every day of your life
[05:01.66] For as long as you live
[05:04.87] All together now!
[05:06.15] Climb every mountain
[05:09.76] Ford every stream
[05:13.51] A very brave Kevin Phillips-Bong there
[05:18.37] Norman
[05:19.43] And I've just heard from Luton that my aunt is ill
[05:28.30] Possibly, gastro-enteritis, possibly just catarrh
[05:31.87] Gerald
[05:32.45] Right. Er, Colin?
[05:34.02] Can I just say he'll never appear on television again?
[05:36.10] No I'm sorry, there isn't time
[05:37.55] We have to pick up a few results you may have missed
[05:39.71] A little pink pussy-cat has taken Barrow-in-Furness
[05:43.87] That's a gain from the Liberals there
[05:46.31] Rastus Odinga Odinga has taken Wolverhampton Southwest
[05:50.76] That's Enoch Powell's old constituency
[05:53.48] An important gain there for Darkie Power
[05:56.69] Arthur Negus has held Bristols
[05:58.57] That's not a result
[05:59.80] That's just a bit of gossip
[06:03.03] Sir Alec Douglas Hume has taken Oldham for the Stone Dead party
[06:07.81] A small piece of putty about that big
[06:10.21] A cheese mechanic from Dunbar and two frogs
[06:12.78] One called Kipper
[06:13.50] The other one not have all gone "Ni-ni-ni, ni-ni-ni-ni-ni!" in Blackpool Central
[06:17.85] And so it's beginning to look like a silly landslide
[06:19.35] And with the prospect of five more years' Silly government facing us, we
[06:24.15] Oh, I don't want to do this any more, I'm bored!
[06:29.15] He's right you know, it is a bloody waste of time
[06:31.28] Absolute waste of time
[06:32.52] I wanted to be a gynaecologist
[06:34.42] Is that what you wanted to be a gynaecologist?
[06:39.53]
