Funny / Death at Broadcasting House

• Caird's critique of Parsons' attempted death screams during rehearsal:
  Do remember, you're being strangled; you're not apologizing for evoking at cards.
  Parsons, that's worse. Has no producer ever tried to strangle you?

• Bannister and the janitor:
  Bannister: I'm looking for variety.
  Janitor: That's eight floors down.
  Bannister: Yes, but I've just come eight floors up.
  Janitor: Then it'll be sixteen floors from where you started.
  Bannister: Ah. How do you arrive at that?
  Janitor: Quite simple.
  Bannister: Well, not to me.
  • Later, Bannister is still looking for the show:
    Bannister: I'm looking for variety.
    Sir Herbert: Why, that's five floors down.
    Bannister: Oh, good. Well, I'm gaining on it.

• This exchange between Evans and Caird:
  Evans: What do you take me for, a perfect fool?
  Caird: There are very few perfect things in life.
