The offending skit

-

SHOPKEEPER (Barker): Ali Baba’s a bit off course. Hello Abdul. What can I do for you?

SHEIKH (Corbett): I want mouse.

SHOPKEEPER: Ah you’re in the wrong shop there, you want the pet shop down the road.

SHEIKH: Chokolatty mouse. SHOPKEEPER: Chokolatty mouse? Oh chocolate mouse you want. That’s a sweet. You have to go down the sweet shop sheikh. Not mice, mouse. Mice is the plural of mouse in England. You have to learn to speak English when you’re over here.

SHEIKH (pointing to a chocolate mousse): Chokolatty mouse.

SHOPKEEPER: Oh I see... here we are sir, one chokolatty mouse. Now what would you like next? SHEIKH: Purry.

SHOPKEEPER: Curry? SHEIKH: Purry. Tom-a-too purry

SHOPKEEPER: Oh, tomato puree...
