As a running gag throughout the half-hour show, Harrison interrupts the sketches, trying to land an acting role as a pirate (and dressed accordingly), but gets turned down each time by "RWT" regulars Idle and Neil Innes, who simply want him to play the part of "George Harrison". He then reappears at the end in more normal attire, strumming the well-known introduction to "My Sweet Lord" on an acoustic guitar, and backed by the house band; instead of continuing with the song, Harrison finally takes his chance to play "Pirate Bob" by abruptly segueing into a sea shanty – to the horror of the "greasy" compère, played by Idle. The other musicians follow Harrison's lead, after which a group of dancers appear on stage and the show's closing credits roll.
