"One winter’s night, as Mr and Mrs Sykes settled down to a romantic evening in front of the television to watch Sportsview, the doorbell rang. Eric knew it would be Ray and Alan. Too embarrassed to read their work in front of them, again, he told his wife to say he wasn’t in and would they leave the script. To be on the safe side, he nipped on to his balcony, even though he was dressed in just his pyjamas and dressing gown.
Young Galton and Simpson stepped inside the flat to deposit the script on the coffee table. But just as they were about to leave, Alan noticed that the British Open Table Tennis Championships were starting on the BBC. An aficionado of ping-pong, Alan asked if they could stay and watch. Mrs Sykes didn’t know how to refuse. The programme was so gripping that probably only Mrs Sykes heard the rain suddenly start to lash against the windows"
Priceless.
