Neil Innes in Away With Words "Cockles & Cockneys" - Full Episode

Neil Innes in Away with Words episode "Cockles & Cockneys" originally aired 29 Sept 1998.
From Anglia TV press release: "Neil Innes has fun beside the seaside, exploring words and sayings which take him from cockle-fishing to Cockney rhyming slang. Southend, and neighbouring Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, prove the perfect places to enjoy a range of traditional seaside delights from making candy floss and playing bingo, to having his fortune told and joining the fancy footwork at the Cliff Bandstand where he finds out how dances like the rumba, fox-trot and waltz got their names. Southend has always been popular with visitors from London's East End, and Neil finds himself rubbing shoulders with royalty when he meets some colourful Pearly kings and queens, and delves into the origins of Cockney rhyming slang."

Neil Innis is as good as Michael Palin was in his travel program (or, rather, programme). I like the pun, too - Away with Words.
