Today they are the best known British comedy group in the world, famous from Cathay to Kathmandu, from Sydney to Sidcup (except in Japan where the programme is called The Gay Boys' Dragon Show ... say no more).

So, he tries to seduce her but that leads him to a tragic understanding: he’s an old man now.
