a husband and wife don't share the same sense of humour. Anthea and Dickie are
preparing for bed when Dickie starts laughing about a funny story a colleague
told him earlier that day about a little boy who tries running away from home,
but doesn't get very far as he's not allowed to cross any roads. Anthea asks to
hear it, but fails to see any humourget the joke. She wants Dickie to tell her
why it's funny, but still doesn't get the point. After two more attempts to
explain it, with Dickie becoming increasingly exasperated, Anthea rings a friend
to show demonstrate that it's not a joke that appeals to women, and by telling
it completely out of sequence proves her point. Dickie declares that Anthea has
no sense of humour, turns over, then and falls out of bed, which Anthea thinks
is hilarious. After that his bed collapses, causing them both to end up leaving
both of them laughing and hugging each other.

arrives as June is leaving and, obviously clearly jealous, she quizzes Dickie.

laughter from her flat. She June then later returns with a tray of cocktails,
and proceeds to tells Anthea that Dickie said his wife didn't understand him.
The more she chats., the more embarrassed and uncomfortable Dickie becomes,
until the sketch ends with Anthea smashing finally smashes records on his
head.

dressed as a South American gaucho, plays a wanted jewel thief, Anthea a dancer
