He did hide it in an Ann Summers carrier bag.
Always found that a bit odd with Frankie Howerd allegedly letching in the Turkish baths, given his preferences.

Personally I think he was eyeing up Derek Griffiths, who played the slave on the wheel of the steam machine.

(Personally, the memories of Julie Edge's great physique in this film easily spring to mind.)

Remember though John, in those days you couldn't really be outwardly 'gay' on TV (Mrs. bleedin' Whitehouse was still around).

Innuendo (an unfortunate-sounding word) was the name of the game, and our Frankie was as camp as Freddie Mercury's "scrotum-tickler" moustache.

Here's a couple programmes you couldn't show today.

'Love Thy Neighbour' and 'Til Death Us Do Part'. Both brilliant

Yes, moustache! I trust you don't want to imagine why the big bushy ones are called that.

By the way, 'Til death us do part does get repeated on various digital channels, and it's just as funny as ever.

Love the neighbour, on the other hand, hasn't been spotted for decades (and neither has Mind your language).
