The following is an extract from an old Mython Python sketch about "Hell's Grannies":
Voice Over: | Favourite targets for the old ladies are telephone kiosks. |
| Film of grannies carrying off a telephone kiosk; then painting slogans on a wall. |
Policeman | (coming up to them): Well come on, come on, off with you. Clear out, come on get out of it. (they clear off, he turns to camera) We have a lot of trouble with these oldies. Pension day's the worst - they go mad. As soon as they get their hands on their money they blow it all on milk, bread, tea, tin of meat for the cat. |

Cut to cinema. |
Cinema Manager: | Yes, well of course they come here for the two o'clock matinee, all the old bags out in there, especially if it's something like 'The Sound of Music'. We get seats ripped up, hearing aids broken, all that sort of thing. |
A policeman hustles two grannies out of the cinema.
Cut to reporter walking along street. |
Reporter: | The whole problem of these senile delinquents lies in their complete rejection of the values of contemporary society. They've seen their children grow up and become accountants, stockbrokers and even sociologists, and they begin to wonder if it is all really...(disappears downwards rapidly) arggh! |

Full Frontal Nudity' (The title is derived from a line spoken in the episode by someone described as a Chartered Accountant:
"I would only perform in a scene in which there was full frontal nudity". After which the ubiquitous Colonel announces that he has noticed a tendency for this programme to get rather silly.....)
