Corbett and Barker on the canals

‘The only way you’ll get me off the canal is to fill it in!’

Masters of comedy smut Harold H Corbett and Ronnie Barker on the canals in a wonderfully silly if rather non-PC piece of nonsense from 1964 that has somehow made it onto YouTube. Some of the jokes seem a bit off today, but I seem to remember Britain in 1964 was a rather different and often less sensitive place.
