Where Do You Think You're Going?

Alan Bennett in "Beyond The Fringe" more than fifty years ago (in 1961)



During some performances he deleted the story of the young lady who asked "What's your little game?" and replaced it with another story where he was on a railway station and mistakenly went in through a gate where he should have been going out. It was at that point, says Bennett,
An employee of the railways hailed me:
'Oi you,' he said. 'Where do you think you're going?'
And that put me in mind of the sort of question I should be asking you, here, tonight:
 'Where do you think you're going?'
