Radio - Episode 1
Episode 1 begins with an ordinary paranoid news reader informing world of how well everything is
going (Yul Brenner has taken up morris dancing, we're all going to die!). Then the radio goes static
and the Good New channel clicks in with the introduction "Scientists have invented a device that
is guaranteed to keep idiots off your radio (obviously doesn't work). Afterwards Colm gives you a
run-down of how happy everything is (especially for Carl).
The first sketch show also includes broadcasts from G. W. Bush, Postman Pat on speed and adverts including "Good Old Fashioned Country Farmer Musac!". The show is finished off with the News team for running over John Travolta, and his pet beagle and then we go to Question Time.
Episode 2
Episode 2 starts with the team reporting from Stone Henge, when they witness the stealing of the
stones and the invasion of aliens with clingfilm on their heads. The show then swiftly moves on to
the coverage of the "Extreme Road Crossing" championships, where Betty Balone is beating her all
time best of 0.3 miles per hour.
The Sketch show also includes a visit from Jeff who tells of his ordeal when he was stolen from during an earthquake (and escaped in his Spitfire). Also the team report on the release of Microsoft's new product "Microsoft Car Systems" (and all goes horribly wrong), the viewers are advised on how to correctly use their Trampolines and a drunk man talks about war. The show is finished off nicely with the great homage to the Linney "The Linney Song".
Episode 3
Episode 3 is a slightly longer show as after the experience of doing two previous we have more and more to include, believe me the script for ep 4 is huge.
In episode 3 one of the most important characters for the series is introduced; The Infamous Lord Infanata (did I spell that right?). In episode 3 we also see the return of Jeff McGibbon who had previously been robbed, telling of more of his amazing adventures. This show ends on a bit of a cliff hanger.
Episode 4 - Preview!
Episode 4 is a bulging script and sees the return of all the characters from the previous shows. We see an inside perspective of the Teritorial Army and join the
Oliver Postgate ina live Clanger episode. The show starts with piracy and ends with Teddy Bears.
Also in the show Jeff performs am orchestral masterpiece and Bloggins reports from the opening of the new air bus. As no. 4 will probably be the last in the current string of sketch shows, it ends traditionally with a song and is very much longer than the others.
