"Is anything worn under the kilt?"* |
Nice line from a radio documentary presented by Jude Kelly. She plays a sound clip from one of the better movies in the long-running "Carry On" series of British comedies, this one satirizing the Kilpingesque empire-building tales set in Victorian-age India and Afghanistan.
In the 1960s, she says,
Carry On Up the Khyber was the name of a funny film; now it's foreign policy.
*"Nae, your Majesty, it's all in perfect working order."
