Murgatroyd And Winterbottom

It was written and performed by Ronald Frankau (Murgatroyd) and Tommy Handley.

Took quotes a typical example of Murgatroyd and Winterbottom's rapid cross-talk: :Murgatroyd: How are you, Mr Winterbottom? :Winterbottom: I feel a bit funny. :Murgatroyd: Only a bit? Oh, I feel frightfully funny. :Winterbottom: Well, it ought to be a good act tonight. :Murgatroyd: It won't be appreciated by the audience in the studio. :Winterbottom: Why not? :Murgatroyd: Well, ''look'' at them – there's a fellow there eating a bit of cheese. :Winterbottom ...
