The Advwntures of Francie and Josie - 1962 to 1965

I have looked through all the episodes of "The Adventures of Francie and Josie" and I cannot relate any of the titles to some of the episodes that I remember watching. I am sure many users of IMDB would remember this very funny series, which other comedians have never been able to imitate. Here are some details of the shows I remember and maybe some other users can help in matching them to the appropriate episodes: The first episode I remember watching is where our two characters book into a posh hotel. Josie sees a beautiful woman walk past on her way to the lift and accidently drops one of her gloves. Josie with his charm, which only his partner Francie admires and lionises him to the concierge and everyone else in the hotel foyer, walks over and, after picking up the ladies' glove, says: 'Ya drapped yer mitten, kitten.' The woman looks around and, after taking the gloves, says: 'Your face. It's incredible.' Josie jutting out his chin and, smilingly vainly, he replies: 'Aye, it is - isn't it.' Unbeknown to Josie, the lady was not making Josie a compliment. She thought Josies face was a perfect resemblance to that of her boss and malevolent boyfriend, the notorious gangster, "Harry the Horse", who is just upstairs in the hotel. A plan is then hatched by "Harry the Horse's" gang to substitute Josie in a deadly gangland plot - with comical results.   * * * * The second episode I remember watching is where Francie and Josie are invited to a school reunion, where everyone has done well for themselves, except our two comical characters. One of the old school chums says he is a salesman travelling in ladies' underwear. Josie looks at the salesman dubiously. Francie, reading Josie's thoughts, says: 'Well maybe he feels more comfortable in ladies' underwear, Josie.' Another one of their school chums, dressed as a scoutmaster, feigning modesty, says he is leader of his own troop. They then come across a plain looking girl - the one who was usually the last to be asked to be a partnered at the school dance. 'Am still single,' she coyly says. As usual, Francie is the first to speak, and as himself and Josie hurry away from her company, in a parting reply, he says: 'Weel, there must be someone fer you somewhere.' The two friends are finally asked how they have done for themselves. In a vacant effort, they both pretend that they are now in show business and promise to get one of their big named friends to appear at their amateur dramatic event. After being thrown out of every theatre in town, including one, by a strange coincidence, bills: "Rikki Fulton and Jack Milroy" - they eventually come up with an act that all their school friends are very surprised at.  The scene changes to where the old school chums are seen going into their amateur dramatic theatre and outside the billboard displays the names of no other than - two of the greatest ballet dancers in the World - Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn. The next scene shows a supreme female ballet dancer pirouetting onto the stage, dressed finely in a tutu, as the "Sugar Plum Fairy". To everyone's surprise it is not Margot Fonteyn - it is Josey. The next person to come prancing onto the stage, dressed in tights and a braided tunic, is the Sugar Plum Fairies' Cavalier. But it is not Rudolf Nureyev - it is Francie. .......and the usual comical results transpire. **********************************************************************************
