It looks like there are a few clips out there that back me up.
Item number one - spank me vicar, that'll be those popstars being shocking again:
It's a pity that there's only this version around. My only problem with Flanders and Swann is Flanders and Swann themselves - I've always found their delivery camp and knowing where playing straight would have worked better. Many of their songs were popular on BBC children's television when I was growing up and, on the whole, I'd rather hear Johnny Ball sing "A Transport of Delight" than its writers. It's like the old cliché about Bob Dylan songs sounding better when done by others.
Item number two - where swears might just be the point rather than the easy path to steet credibility
JCC (guesting on Neil Innes' programme) tries manfully against the broadcasting rules of the day, but it doesn't really work, does it?
