Chemist: Right. I've got some of your prescriptions here. Er, who's got the pox? (nobody reacts) ... Come on, who's got the pox ... come on... (a man timidly puts his hand up) . .. there you go. (throws bottle to the man with his hand up) Who's got a boil on the bum... boil on the botty. (throws bottle to the only man standing up) Who's got the chest rash? (a woman with a large bosom puts up hand) Have to get a bigger bottle. Who's got wind? (throws bottle to a man sitting on his own) Catch.

CAPTION: 'THE CHEMIST SKETCH - AN APOLOGY'

Voice Over: The BBC would like to apologize for the poor quality of the writing in that sketch. It is not BBC policy to get easy laughs with words like bum, knickers, botty or wee-wees. (laughs off camera) Ssssh!
Cut to a man standing by a screen with a clicker.
BBC Man: These are the words that are not to be used again on this programme.
He clicks the clicker. On screen appear the following slides:

SEMPRINI
A girl comes into shot.
Girl: Semprini!?
BBC Man : (pointing) Out!
Cut back to the chemist's shop. The chemist appears again.
Chemist: Right, who's got a boil on his Semprini, then?
A policeman appears and bundles him off.
