The gimmick of "The Greatest Show on Legs" was a balloon dance where naked men would hold two balloons in front of themselves, quickly changing the balloons over. The "hook" was the shock that there might be a millisecond's window to see full frontal male nudity, something which was very controversial on television at the time.
However, on this edition one of the performers turns to the side after the act has finished, momentarily exposing himself. The camera cuts to Lenny Henry and Chris Tarrant, who laugh in shock and talk about all the phone call complaints they'll be receiving as a result.

John Gorman has a black eye so prominent on this edition that Chris Tarrant makes it a competition for viewers to guess what the cause of his injury was.
Saying he knows how Gorman got the black eye, Chris laughs, implying something illicit - yet despite announcing it as a competition, it isn't referred to the following week.
