As I write, there is a programme on Channel 4 about comedy catchphrases. Now, as far as I know, I've never really had one in Beau Peep. Any suggestions?
-
How about this one that Mince uses a lot: "This message is for all of you except Roger"
-
"I left my wallet on the kitchen table."
-
There are "catchphrases", but I think those catchphrases are actually "repeated scenarios".
Nomad writing to publishers; Dennis buying rubbish from Abdul; Egon serving culinary disasters; Snoopy fighting the Red Barron on his kennel etc.
-
Roger, why not use catch phrases from your own life: "Where am I?", "Who am I?", "Is this left or right?"

A catch phrase needn't be a long or particularly pithy thing.
Charlie Brown's was "good grief..."
I used to have a couple in Blacknose. One was "give me strength..." another was "Gordon Bennet.." but I suspected that many wouldn't get the latter, it was a bit old.
I used to hear women say "I'll swing for him/her" which didn't mean anything fruity, just that someone had made you so angry you'd kill them (and then be hanged for it).
OK, catch phrases for Beau Peep: How about one of the tuaregs or Abdul using "By the Beard Of Jabul!!" to express anger, or some other odd Arab-sounding name.
Dennis could say: "who's Jabul"?
Beau: "his wife"

Hot here today!
Or your already famous saying: "There's sand in my Y-fronts" - whenever I hear that expression - I think of the Beau Peep strip... or sometimes Prince Philip.

Do you hear that expression quite often then Diane?

Off and on Colin, you know how these catchphrases are.

I can't imagine Prince Philip would ever have used that expression. You probably misheard him, Diane. It's more likely to have been, "There's a hand in my Y-fronts".
-
Prince Philip will sue, by the Beard Of Jabul!!
-
The programme also touched on made-up swearwords like "naff" and "feck". I'd quite like to come up with one myself or, better still, I'd like to hear what you lot can come up with. Now fronk off and think about it.

Farp.
As in "oh farp, the end's dropped off"
-
Fry and Laurie did this many years ago to get round the BBC swear word ban.
