Some of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on British TV and radio:

1. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator - 'This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.'

2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator - 'Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.'

3. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - 'And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!'

4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 - 'Ah, isn't that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew.'

5. US PGA Commentator - 'One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. Oh my god !! What have I just said??'

6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on 'Time Team Live' said: 'You'd eat beaver if you could get it.'

7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked, 'So Bob, where's that six inches you promised me last night?' Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard!

8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters: 'Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday.'

9. Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on 'Look North' said: 'There's nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this. '

10 Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on 'Sky Sports': 'Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis's misses every chance he gets.'

11. Michael Buerk on watching Philippa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1's UK eclipse coverage remarked: 'They seem cold out there. They're rubbing each other and he's only come in his shorts.'

12.. Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: 'Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny; other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.'

13. Brian Johnston who in 1976 at the Oval made the comment: 'And the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey'.

And one from my old Publican

A woman came in last night looking for a double entendre, so I gave her one

It's Monday.

Did you get the Benz?

Don't ask

Got a few problems with that & might even have to give it a miss and then start looking again. To say I'm pissed off about it is rhe understatement of the bloody year!

Thanks, Steve.

Speaking of double entendres, I recall reading of a small town sportswriter covering the local team. The quarterback was Peters, who for some reason would not be able to play the next game. The writer went on about how the team would be playing with Peters out, etc. Anybody recall this?

Best one I've ever heard was when watching a horse show jumping event on TV when the male commentator made the observation that the rider and horse on the course looked a little stiff, the female commentator promptly replied "yes I've ridden a few stiff ones in my time".
There was a deathly silence for while before the commentary commenced again.
