The loss of Humphrey Lyttleton recently has prompted the BBC website Magazine to splash out on a quick appreciation on the art of innuendo.

And it’s not before time, either - I’ve been literally begging for something fruity to get my hands on, with the majority of the content here being about as much use as a whore in a waxworks.

So with a warm glow inside and a knowing wink, the article points newcomers to the art of double entendre to a sexy picture of Denise Van Outen, a nice video clip of Humph on stage with the ISIHAC team, as well as some audio only material in which we listen to the wonderfully filthy references to the I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue scorer Samantha; and references to Benny Hill, Max Miller and Frankie Howerd.

Plus there’s some nice observations from the public, who recall the great Round the Horne, as well as Radio 1 DJs Mark and Lard.
