Bob can't resist some innuendo on a grid about fungi foods. Although he lets "shitake" pass without undue comment, a contestant picking "giant puffball" has Bob saying it was a disease he picked up when he was in the forces.
Some viewers may get a surprise out of Bob Monkhouse's pronunciation of the word "fungi", delivering it as "fun-gee".
This is actually the correct UK pronunciation of the word, with the more familiar "fun-gai" the US version. However, the US version appears to be more common in the UK, perhaps due in no small part to the existence of "fun guy" jokes.
