I thought Maudie Fittleworth was a (fictional) character who the
scriptwriters used to have Joan Sims refer to, in the radio series "Stop
Messing About", which she and Kenneth Williams appeared in together
following the cancellation of "Round the Horne". The character may even have
originated in RTH.

I suppose KW must have liked the name, which presumably appealled to his
sense of the ridiculous.

Clement often will use the joke about P.T. Barnum and the man shot out
of the cannon. I think he first used it when the subject was P.T.
Barnum. He flubbed it a bit the first time, but has it down pat now.
He always repeats man, but it seems to be ignored by the other
panelist, probably because he gets a good laugh from it.
