Comedy for ELT - Rumours

[To get a free worksheet (+KEY, +Script) just click here: bit.ly/3vLP7Gg ]
What? Wife-swapping??!? No way! 'George is too moral to swap a stamp!' Yet despite having defended his friend, Arthur seems to have been influenced by the gossip nevertheless... And then of course there are other rumours -- about Arthur himself this time! :-) The two friends meet at a party and the way they try to talk indirectly about these sensitive matters makes for a brilliantly funny sketch! Another little gem by The Two Ronnies. Level: C1 -- C2 Topic: Relationships / Gossip / Socialising. Taken from the BBC TV Series 'The Two Ronnies'.

Language Timothy! I still say that to my nephew when he swears and he clearly thinks I'm off my rocker ( 58 year old uncle of an American 15 year old so I suppose I am off my rocker ).

[@ianoian1]

I remember watching the original show - absolutely fantastic. But I couldn't see the current UK TV stations showing this now. Why? Well it's the gay inferences, in'it?

I have seen this sketch on Gold a few times.

[@chawwa777]

It is, isn’t..? You know?

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

Swapping a stamp ; this phrase is misunderstood to mean stamp exchange?

[@mickthemasher]

That was in the good old days when you call a poof a poof...

[@maximillianford9301]

Ah yes. Being able to call someone an insult was the pinnacle of the old days. Good grief, what sad lives some people have lived

[@daniel-leejones8396]

And nobody had a "tiss was" about it, exactly!?

[@daniel-leejones8396]

Even sarcastic whit can be a hate crime now

[@sudheerbright]

Current TV shows are tosh.

He borrowed it from Commander Straeker from UFO 😂

Are you getting along all right, are you ?

[@Soup_Fish]

The wife @2.26 looks cute. Who she?

[@ericburton5914]

She's probably dead now or rotting and you can't get a time machine to go back to the 70s

[@martinidry6300]
