Daphne “Oh Jock!”
Jock “Oh Daphne!”
Daphne “I feared you wouldn’t recognise me”
Jock “Why of course I do bonny lass. Its Daphne Fritters. Only daughter of our Minister for Rationing, Sir Stanley Fritters.”
Daphne “Oh Jock can you forgive me for breaking your heart so cruelly two episodes ago?”
Jock “Och, of course I can. A fortnights a long time in light entertainment.”
Daphne “And you and your chums were so brave rescuing Daddy and I from the clutches of EFIL. Thank heavens you’ve forgiven my cold hearted ingratitude.”
Jock “Och, forget it. It’s not as if I’ve stayed up night after night trying to cry myself to some kind of tortured sleep, day after day after day of hoping you’d just return one of my phone calls.”
Daphne “I’m so glad we can put it behind us”
Jock “Agony after agony every time the doorbell rang praying that maybe one day you’d respond to my letter, that one day your butler would let me wipe my rough working men’s boots on the doorstep of your heart.”
Daphne “Its best to move on, isn’t it.”
Based on the classic 1940s radio serial this is a truly hilarious send-up of all things frightfully British, gung-ho jolly hockey sticks and putting Johnny Foreigner well and truly in his place.
A ruthless Latin lothario has set his sights on the women of London. No gal is safe from the swarthy continental’s sultry seductions as he cha-cha-chas his wicked way into their boudoirs and jewellery boxes. But have no fear, square-jawed British hero Barton and his team are on hand to save the day.
