A little homage post to these two absolute gems of legends from Les Miserables. The Thenardiers played by Alun Armstrong & Jenny Galloway.
They were the villains in the story, who also provided some fantastic comedy moments especially in their performance of Master of The House which is one of my favourite songs and a fantastic number to sing and sway along to.

Six Plays by Alan Bennett: All Day on the Sands (1.6, LWT, 1979)
"Look at the level of that sauce. Only started yesterday, it's gone down dramatically. I'm under no compulsion to provide sauce. Lathering it on. It's not as if my cooking needed sauce!"
"Make it available on request. Sauce available on request, that'll bring them to a sense of responsibility."
"Wouldn't care, but they go at the salt and pepper like lunatics. You'd think they'd never seen a cruet in their lives."

Les Misérables: Beggars At The Feast
from The Dream Cast in Concert (10th Anniversary, 1995) with Alun Armstrong as Thénardier and Jenny Galloway as Mme. Thénardier
Beggar at the feast, master of the dance
Life is easy pickings if you grab your chance
Everywhere you go, law-abiding folk
Doing what is decent but they're mostly broke
Singing to the Lord on Sundays
Praying for the gifts he'll send
But we're the ones who take it
We're the ones who make it in the end
Watch the buggers dance, watch 'em till they drop
Keep your wits about you and you'll stand on top
Masters of the land, always get our share
Clear away the barricades and we're still there
We know where the wind is blowing
Money is the stuff we smell
And when we're rich as Croesus
Jesus, won't we see you all in hell!
