Everytime someone says BR i think of British Rail.

I think of British Summer.

the one with the white beard is actually neil.

[Kenneth]

Which one?

[little dave hedgehog]

the one that's too frail to stand. sitting there in the grass going "you tell them, sonny jim."

He's actually expressing disgust at the notion that a series of highly questionable stories are supposed to form the basis of an entire belief system.

Oh God, am I really so old that only Neil and I remember?

No you are not. I still remember my mum and dad's neighbours having a little Dusty Bin in their window from when they appeared on 3-2-1...

I take it they didn't win. Nobody ever did - the clues always sounded like they'd been written by Yoda.

...and when ted rogers read out the answers he made it sound like any daft **** should have known what they were on about

No they didn't, hence the ceramic dusty...

Q. "Take one that never changes, add a pub and a precious stone, bring them all up-to-date, and now, you're on your own."

A. "Take one that never changes', well, that could be Dusty Bin which of course is where you might throw a wishbone. 'Add a pub and a precious stone', well, that doesn't point to Dusty. 'Bring them all up-to-date, and now you're on your own.'. Well, what about the wishbone? Sonny said 'a large wishbone', so what might a large wishbone come from? Something larger than a chicken. Turkey, maybe? Now, 'one that never changes' is a constant, a pub can also be an inn, there's a lot of precious stones but how many go with 'constant inn'? How about opal? Yes, Constantinople, up to date, the pride of Turkey, you've rejected the 3–2–1 holiday!"

Another genuine one from the show:

“The Arches Might Provide A Clue, Not Strolling But He’s Going Too”, accompanied by some sheet music.
Ted’s Explanation: “Well the first three letters of arches might have been clue enough, but we also said not strolling but he’s going too. Well if you take away HES from arches, all you have left is ARC. If you rearrange that with the sheet music, you’re left with ‘Music Maestro Please’. So what do think that means? Maestro! The British Leyland Maestro! You’ve won the car!”

Utterly bewildering.

Frick me, and I thought I was a stupid asshole at 13 for not getting any of these. To motivate myself I would also go "oh yeah" when told the answer so that my brain would work harder next time.

Genius - These could be the mutterings of a lunatic on an acid comedown.
