1. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
2. and welcome back to the Cornley Drama Festival.
Copy !req
3. Once again, apologies for the sign.
Copy !req
4. We have had a fantastic response to the festival,
Copy !req
5. with seven people writing in
Copy !req
6. to tell us they enjoyed the show.
Copy !req
7. And thousands of other people also writing in.
Copy !req
8. Chris, I've given the horse too many tranquilizers.
Copy !req
9. That is not my problem tonight.
Copy !req
10. Because first up we are in the hands
Copy !req
11. of Sandra Wilkinson.
Copy !req
12. Distinct.
Copy !req
13. Unique.
Copy !req
14. Moist.
Copy !req
15. What do these words have in common?
Copy !req
16. They've all been used to describe my voice.
Copy !req
17. So, I've written a radio play to present this evening.
Copy !req
18. Not, as some have suggested, because I am in the running
Copy !req
19. to be the new voice of Marks and Spencer's,
Copy !req
20. although I am down to the final 80,
Copy !req
21. but because I would love nothing more
Copy !req
22. than to share with you how audio drama is made.
Copy !req
23. So please enjoy A Talented Woman Awakens.
Copy !req
24. Well, that roast beef was absolutely delicious, dad.
Copy !req
25. It certainly was, Deborah!
Copy !req
26. I adored those Yorkshire Puddings,
Copy !req
27. almost as much as the crisp golden potatoes,
Copy !req
28. and the creamy yet fiery horseradish sauce.
Copy !req
29. I'll clear the dishes.
Copy !req
30. Deborah, I meant to tell you.
Copy !req
31. I'll be hosting the talent show at the village fete this year.
Copy !req
32. Well, you should enter that, darling.
Copy !req
33. You're ever so talented.
Copy !req
34. Oh, no, I couldn't do that, mum.
Copy !req
35. Of course you could, sweetheart.
Copy !req
36. There's more to you than your sensational looks.
Copy !req
37. You also have a fantastic speaking voice,
Copy !req
38. and you own your own Pitch Tone B Plus
Copy !req
39. podcasting microphone.
Copy !req
40. Let me pour you a cup of tea, dad.
Copy !req
41. Sugar? -Two please.
Copy !req
42. Milk? -Just a spot.
Copy !req
43. Maybe you're right,
Copy !req
44. maybe I should enter the talent competition.
Copy !req
45. I just wish I...
Copy !req
46. had more confidence.
Copy !req
47. You are so dreadfully humble.
Copy !req
48. And you're ever so talented.
Copy !req
49. Now come on, dad, it's well past...
Copy !req
50. your bedtime.
Copy !req
51. Onto the stairlift.
Copy !req
52. Ah! Now, let's get you tucked in.
Copy !req
53. Goodnight, dad.
Copy !req
54. I'll shut the door.
Copy !req
55. See you in the morning.
Copy !req
56. Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Copy !req
57. Good morning, mum.
Copy !req
58. Morning, darling.
Copy !req
59. You're ever so talented.
Copy !req
60. Come in.
Copy !req
61. Buenos días, señorita!
Copy !req
62. Miguel! How are you, my dear?
Copy !req
63. I am sad, because I know I will never be enough for you.
Copy !req
64. Oh, Miguel!
Copy !req
65. Our relationship is too passionate.
Copy !req
66. I have seen there is to be a talent show
Copy !req
67. at the village fete.
Copy !req
68. Soon I will lose you to celebrity.
Copy !req
69. My talent is too...
Copy !req
70. My talent is too wild to be ca...
Copy !req
71. Ha!
Copy !req
72. My talent is too wild to be caged.
Copy !req
73. I must perform.
Copy !req
74. Hooray!
Copy !req
75. Come, mount this stallion with me.
Copy !req
76. We shall ride to the village fete.
Copy !req
77. Wake up, wake up.
Copy !req
78. Clippity clop! Clippity clop!
Copy !req
79. Here we are at the village fete.
Copy !req
80. We have arrived in time for the hoedown.
Copy !req
81. I do hope everyone is enjoying
Copy !req
82. the Barnsbury Village Fete so far.
Copy !req
83. Ah yeah, it's just brilliant.
Copy !req
84. A huge congratulations to Benny Webber,
Copy !req
85. who correctly spelled the word incompetent,
Copy !req
86. to win this year's Spelling Bee.
Copy !req
87. I-N-C-O-M-M-
Copy !req
88. P-E-T-E-N-T-
Copy !req
89. E-N-T-E-
Copy !req
90. N-T-E.
Copy !req
91. Incompetentente!
Copy !req
92. And next up in the talent show, we have Peter Bodkin,
Copy !req
93. with his one-man clog dance.
Copy !req
94. A round of applause for Peter.
Copy !req
95. Next up, will be my very own daughter,
Copy !req
96. who will be reciting the entirety
Copy !req
97. of Alfred Lord Tennyson's The Lady of Shallot.
Copy !req
98. Are you ready to perform, my darling?
Copy !req
99. I'm a little bit nervous.
Copy !req
100. Don't be nervous.
Copy !req
101. Look at the beautiful sunshine, and listen to the birds singing.
Copy !req
102. Ladies and gentlemen, here she is,
Copy !req
103. showcasing her extraordinary vocal range, Deborah Davies.
Copy !req
104. Muh...
Copy !req
105. Fantastic.
Copy !req
106. And the scores are in.
Copy !req
107. And the winner is Deborah Davies.
Copy !req
108. A round of applause, please!
Copy !req
109. Stop!
Copy !req
110. There's a storm coming!
Copy !req
111. Thank you for coming.
Copy !req
112. And now, a word of congratulations from our mayor.
Copy !req
113. I think this is the beginning of an extraordinary career.
Copy !req
114. Advertising executives and voiceover agents
Copy !req
115. will be calling you every day.
Copy !req
116. On 07700900381.
Copy !req
117. My talent has been awakened!
Copy !req
118. Ugh!
Copy !req
119. Next up is my...
Copy !req
120. Next up is my play.
Copy !req
121. I wrote it myself.
Copy !req
122. I would like to thank Trevor,
Copy !req
123. for providing the special effects.
Copy !req
124. My play is called...
Copy !req
125. "Toothpaste 1.99."
Copy !req
126. Sorry, that's a receipt.
Copy !req
127. My play is called, "Toothpaste 1.69."
Copy !req
128. Enjoy.
Copy !req
129. Hello, how much is this toothpaste?
Copy !req
130. 1.69.
Copy !req
131. Well, I think we can all agree...
Copy !req
132. There's still some cuts to be found in that play.
Copy !req
133. Next up, we have Annie Twilloil.
Copy !req
134. Now, people often say we take things too seriously
Copy !req
135. at the Cornley Drama Society, but that wasn't always the case.
Copy !req
136. The original troupe performed a comedy as recently as 1979.
Copy !req
137. So, we thought it would be nice to step outside
Copy !req
138. our comfort zone,
Copy !req
139. and revisit that laugh-out loud romp tonight.
Copy !req
140. This farce has been classified as Grade C bawdy,
Copy !req
141. so, some of the more graphic jokes
Copy !req
142. have had to be censored to comply with broadcasting
Copy !req
143. decency guidelines.
Copy !req
144. So, please, enjoy the classic 70s farce entitled,
Copy !req
145. An Upstanding Member
Copy !req
146. in a Tight Spot in the Back Office.
Copy !req
147. Good morning, Mr. Carmichael.
Copy !req
148. Good morning, Miss Pennyforth.
Copy !req
149. Hoo! Frightfully windy day today, isn't it?
Copy !req
150. Woah!
Copy !req
151. Miss Pennyforth, have you got a date tonight?
Copy !req
152. Oh yes, sir, a whole bagful.
Copy !req
153. What is she like?
Copy !req
154. Now, tell me, what appointments do I have today?
Copy !req
155. Well, at 11:00, we'll be having a bit of how's your father.
Copy !req
156. Ooh!
Copy !req
157. And at 11:05, you've got a meeting
Copy !req
158. with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Copy !req
159. So, we've only got five minutes together?
Copy !req
160. Yes, I thought that would give me four minutes
Copy !req
161. to catch up on paperwork.
Copy !req
162. What is she like?
Copy !req
163. And don't forget the Archbishop is terrified of bees,
Copy !req
164. so I'd best remove these.
Copy !req
165. Good thinking, Miss Pennyforth.
Copy !req
166. And the Prince of Wales is coming round at 11:20
Copy !req
167. to present you with your OBE.
Copy !req
168. The Prince of Wales?
Copy !req
169. We'd best cancel my meeting with Norman Nord,
Copy !req
170. the Nudist Lord.
Copy !req
171. Yes, Mr. Carmichael.
Copy !req
172. Now, Doctor Rod Problem dropped round these little blue pills.
Copy !req
173. Ooh...
Copy !req
174. Sorry!
Copy !req
175. Little blue pills.
Copy !req
176. Those are for my downstairs problem.
Copy !req
177. The leak in the basement?
Copy !req
178. I'll leave them in this drinks cabinet,
Copy !req
179. next to your anti-anxiety medication.
Copy !req
180. Careful, these bottles look just alike.
Copy !req
181. I'd better go and put on a tie.
Copy !req
182. Let me help you with that.
Copy !req
183. Thank you, Miss Pennyforth.
Copy !req
184. Ooh!
Copy !req
185. Righty-ho then, time to clean these windows.
Copy !req
186. Oh, these bloomin' bees!
Copy !req
187. I-N-C-O-M-P-E-T-E-N-T.
Copy !req
188. Incompetent.
Copy !req
189. What are you doing?
Copy !req
190. I'm the spelling bees.
Copy !req
191. Oi! Oi! Oi!
Copy !req
192. You stop buzzing in my face!
Copy !req
193. Hey, out of it! Out of it! Hey you, pack it in!
Copy !req
194. Bloomin' heck!
Copy !req
195. Someone's left the window open.
Copy !req
196. Now there's soap suds all over the back office.
Copy !req
197. I best get in there and clean it up
Copy !req
198. before someone slips over.
Copy !req
199. Water palaver.
Copy !req
200. Right, I think that sounds good.
Copy !req
201. Oh, Mrs. Carmichael!
Copy !req
202. Leader of the opposition and my wife.
Copy !req
203. Hope you don't mind, I popped in your back corridor.
Copy !req
204. Passage. I popped in your back passage.
Copy !req
205. You're early.
Copy !req
206. Makes a change, it's usually you who get here early.
Copy !req
207. Comes.
Copy !req
208. Would you like a drink?
Copy !req
209. Oh, yes, you know I love a strong one!
Copy !req
210. A stiff one!
Copy !req
211. Woah!
Copy !req
212. Why are there soap suds all over this floor?
Copy !req
213. My coat is soaked through.
Copy !req
214. Oh, dear, I don't think things could get any worse.
Copy !req
215. My mother is coming to stay for the weekend.
Copy !req
216. Looks like I spoke too soon!
Copy !req
217. I brought you these flowers for you to give to her.
Copy !req
218. Oh, God, she's awake!
Copy !req
219. Where are the tranquilizers?
Copy !req
220. Well, I'd best get back to the Commons.
Copy !req
221. Goodbye, darling.
Copy !req
222. It's 11:00.
Copy !req
223. Time for us...
Copy !req
224. Oh, ho ho! -I've forgotten my bag!
Copy !req
225. Quickly, Miss Pennyforth, hide in the wardrobe.
Copy !req
226. Ooh! -Ohh!
Copy !req
227. Mr. Carmichael.
Copy !req
228. Ooh! -Oh!
Copy !req
229. Ooh! Ooh! -Oh!
Copy !req
230. I forgot my bag.
Copy !req
231. I don't think things could get any worse!
Copy !req
232. Everybody, stand back!
Copy !req
233. Oh, crikey, I just bought these shoes
Copy !req
234. from the cobblers and they don't half squeak!
Copy !req
235. Get mopping.
Copy !req
236. The Prince of Wales is coming to give me my O...
Copy !req
237. OBE! And we can't have soap suds all over the place!
Copy !req
238. Hey... Hey... Hey!
Copy !req
239. Uh!
Copy !req
240. Hey!
Copy !req
241. Argh!
Copy !req
242. You've smashed the window!
Copy !req
243. Oh, it's let in a gale!
Copy !req
244. Hey!
Copy !req
245. It's blown off our trousers!
Copy !req
246. Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
247. The Archbishop! Quick, hide in the wardrobe.
Copy !req
248. Morning, Carmichael. Cor blimey!
Copy !req
249. Why aren't you wearing trousers Carmichael?
Copy !req
250. Er...
Copy !req
251. pink polka dots are all the rage, Archbishop.
Copy !req
252. I'm pleased to hear it.
Copy !req
253. Wow!
Copy !req
254. Now, Carmichael, I have to tell you about something
Copy !req
255. that happened to me on the way here.
Copy !req
256. I came out of me front door, and there were two...
Copy !req
257. standing there
Copy !req
258. with
Copy !req
259. right up the cloisters.
Copy !req
260. Now, Carmichael, I'm here to talk to you about
Copy !req
261. not building that atheist car park over Canterbury Cathedral.
Copy !req
262. But what's this?
Copy !req
263. A contract from Car Parks Limite
Copy !req
264. about building an atheist car park over Canterbury Cathedral?
Copy !req
265. This is a disgrace, Carmichael.
Copy !req
266. I'm telephoning the Vatican, and when they get hold of you,
Copy !req
267. you'll be sorrier than I was when I saw the Pope...
Copy !req
268. I said...
Copy !req
269. raw buttocks!
Copy !req
270. Oh, Mr. Carmichael I'm starting to panic.
Copy !req
271. I don't like being in tight spaces.
Copy !req
272. Nor do I.
Copy !req
273. Here, take one of my anti-anxiety pills.
Copy !req
274. Mr. Carmichael!
Copy !req
275. Quick!
Copy !req
276. Ooh!
Copy !req
277. I forgot my hat.
Copy !req
278. Here you go, darling.
Copy !req
279. Carmichael!
Copy !req
280. Oh, dear!
Copy !req
281. We forgot to cancel my meeting with Norman Nord,
Copy !req
282. the Nudist Lord!
Copy !req
283. What's going on, Carmichael?
Copy !req
284. What was all that about, Carmichael?
Copy !req
285. Don't go near the window!
Copy !req
286. Hey!
Copy !req
287. Hey!
Copy !req
288. Hey... Woah!
Copy !req
289. Woah!
Copy !req
290. Oh, it's blown... blown off my trousers! Oh! Oh!
Copy !req
291. Oh, how embarrassing!
Copy !req
292. Oh, how embarrassing.
Copy !req
293. Sorry about that, Archbishop.
Copy !req
294. Please, accept these flowers with my apologies.
Copy !req
295. Thank you, Carmichael. But what's that noise?
Copy !req
296. Oh, no!
Copy !req
297. Incompetent!
Copy !req
298. A bee! A bee! A bee! A bee! Bees!
Copy !req
299. Bees!
Copy !req
300. I've been chased by bees.
Copy !req
301. Here, take one of my anti-anxiety pills.
Copy !req
302. Thank you, Carmichael.
Copy !req
303. Oh, could you give me a pill?
Copy !req
304. One. Could you give me one?
Copy !req
305. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Oh...
Copy !req
306. They're for the horse.
Copy !req
307. I'm here, Carmichael!
Copy !req
308. A French maid, a window cleaner,
Copy !req
309. the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Copy !req
310. and the leader of the opposition,
Copy !req
311. all at it in the Chief Whip's office?
Copy !req
312. After seeing this, I can't possibly give you your OBE.
Copy !req
313. I'll have to give you a knighthood!
Copy !req
314. Thank you.
Copy !req
315. That was a farce.
Copy !req
316. Now, as you can see, we do appear to be down
Copy !req
317. a few members of the cast.
Copy !req
318. Trevor and I will be taking them to A & E now.
Copy !req
319. Er, but do not fear...
Copy !req
320. But do not fear,
Copy !req
321. the festival will continue with Jonathan's piece.
Copy !req
322. It's a musical ensemble number, which, which er...
Copy !req
323. which would have included the whole cast.
Copy !req
324. And it's about a circus.
Copy !req
325. Enjoy.
Copy !req
326. Roll up, roll up!
Copy !req
327. Come and enjoy the show!
Copy !req
328. Jimmy! Missy! Tony!
Copy !req
329. Matty! Ricky! Jenny!
Copy !req
330. Okay!
Copy !req
331. Come on, guys, let's have a song,
Copy !req
332. I'll play the keys, you sing along!
Copy !req
333. Piano?
Copy !req
334. No?
Copy !req
335. Okay!
Copy !req
336. Oh!
Copy !req
337. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
338. Amazing!
Copy !req
339. What a talent!
Copy !req
340. Take it, Jimmy!
Copy !req
341. With your amazing juggling.
Copy !req
342. Wow, it's amazing! Incredible!
Copy !req
343. Aah!
Copy !req
344. Now go, Missy, with your mime!
Copy !req
345. Hell yeah!
Copy !req
346. Now, Tony, show us your skills on the unicycle.
Copy !req
347. Oh, God!
Copy !req
348. Now, Matty, marvel us with your magic!
Copy !req
349. Oh!
Copy !req
