The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town: Part 3

In the third chapter of the Two Ronnies' Hammer-style Victorian serial, the newsreel narrator recounts the fiend's latest outrage: a dowager duchess knocked senseless by raspberries on a Thames towpath and left with a raspberry tattooed on each knee. Inspector Corner of the Yard and the hulking Sergeant Bowles round up a motley line-up of suspects, inspect the duchess's knees as evidence and finally resort to a noise test, with inconclusive and rude results. The story then moves to Buckingham Palace, where a bossy Queen Victoria forbids the Prince of Wales from leaving home while the Phantom is at large, trading barbs about fruit and family until an unexpected noise convinces her that the dreaded monster might be Edward himself.

Spike Milligan first wrote the Phantom Raspberry Blower story, which aired as a single 1971 episode of Ronnie Barker's LWT series Six Dates with Barker before Barker, writing as Gerald Wiley, reworked it into this eight-part 1976 Two Ronnies serial.
