Terry Duggan as the Taxi Driver


In The Inspector's Pets Terry Duugan comes in the front room as Blakey's taxi driver and says, "You'd better hurry if you want to catch that train, guvnor!"

Amazingly, he makes two mistakes in that sentence.

As Terry turns to walk out he shakes his head in disbelief at his own incompetence.

He should have stuck to selling *beep* for a living!

"He should have stuck to selling *beep* for a living!"

The missing word related to the toilets that Terry sold in another episode, and ended in -holes.

What were the two mistakes? Write it out phonetically.

It amazes me how slapdash they were in those days - loads of non-live sitcoms had mistakes like this, scenery shaking and the like, yet they ploughed on. They probably thought "No-one will notice, video recorders haven't been invented yet".









No Guru, No Method, No Teacher.

I've mentioned it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOoE_eF_mKk
I'm in a bit of a hurry now but I'll try and make a phonetic transcription tomorrow.

I've just watched it. He almost says Bus instead of Train. However I can't see what his second mistake is.
