The premise
Here’s the bit.
As the show draws to a close, Stephen offers Hugh a choice of oddly named cocktails. Hugh settles on the Silver Prostate and supplies piano accompaniment while Stephen works through a complicated recipe, adding a borrowed television farewell alongside the spirits. The preparation becomes a performance of its own before the pair share a toast.

Please, Mr Music, will you play?
Soupy twist!

A little extra
Notes from the archive.
The BBC Comedy Greats upload describes this as the programme’s last scene, but the episode rundown identifies the Silver Prostate routine as the ending of series four, episode six. The final episode closes with A Modern Britain instead.
