Geoffrey Bayldon: Governor

Quotes 

• Governor : [discussing who may be on the celebrity football team]  Didn't you mention that comedian chap? Wh-What's his name? Jimmy Tarbrush?

  Mackay : Buck, sir.

  Governor : Yes. Buck Tarbrush.

  Mackay : Well, unhappily he's indisposed sir.

  Governor : Oh, dear.

  [he and Mackay leave] 

  Fletcher : Buck Tarbrush. We should be lucky to get Basil Brush.

• Governor : Oh, well-played Slade!

  [to Fletcher] 

  Governor : Who is that?

  Fletcher : That's Armstrong, sir. Class player he is, sir.

  Governor : Oh yes, he's going out next month. Pity that, if we have another fixture.

  Fletcher : Yeah, it is a shame isn't it, sir? He'll be right choked, he will.

• Governor : You're saying Oakes forced you down the delivery hatch?

  Fletcher : At gunpoint, sir. Well, he had to do something or we would have blown the whistle on him. We'd have gone to see Mr Mackay who happened to have the whistle at the time.
