The Whole Shebang Minute 31: Bona To Vada

In Minute 31 of The Whole Shebang, Mike and Jenny are joined by Amy Mugglestone for a special sixth-day guest encore, covering the topics of Polari, its Cockney and Roma linguistic roots repurposed for as a secret cant for gay men, Polari’s and camp’s penetration into mainstream postwar British culture on Coronation Street, Round the Horne, and even Doctor Who, a bit on the genius of Kenneth Williams and his correspondence with Joe Orton as Edna Welthorpe, and back in the movie itself, Cecil’s luvvie friends and his desire for Brian as a client... and as a lover.
