The duo were a popular music hall and stage act, appearing in venues all over the country. As part of their act in 1929 they originated the Cockney Alphabet, a humorous alphabet that replaces the letters of the alphabet with cockney phonetics, such as "A for ‘Orses" (Hay for Horses) and ending with "Z for Effect" (Said for Effect). In February 1929, they appeared in two early short films made in the Lee DeForest Phonofilm sound-on-film process. They also appeared in their own scene in the early Will Hay film Radio Parade of 1935. In 1935, they were banned by BBC Radio for some months for allegedly broadcasting an improper joke .[2] It is said that, during a live broadcast, when they discovered that a page of their script was missing they ad-libbed:
Such material was considered rather risqué at the time. However, there are differing accounts as to what the joke actually was.[4][5] The plotline of the 1937 musical revue film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0148872/ Sing As You Swing] uses their being banned in this way from the "BVD" broadcasting organisation as a running gag.
