Jon, Jo and others in “Working”

A radio station. You want us to work in a radio station.

Result!

I’m Jerry Parker, program director here at KWOW. We are looking to expand into a younger demographic without losing our present audience and I think you could be just a presenters we’re looking for.

Oh, we are, w-we’re exactly what you’re looking for.

Yeah. Whatever it is.

Great. And you’re being British you’ll retain the sophisticated image we want at this station.

Oh, yeah. We’re well sophisticated.

Yeah. You know, p-pip old fruit.

(chuckles) Now you’re British so I needn’t ask you this question. But you are familiar with the popular classics, right?

Oh, yeah. The popular classics. You know, Status Quo. Level 42. Right Said Fred.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Kajagoogoo.

No, no. (laughs)

Good one! Now, I was thinking more Elgar, William Walton, some Beethoven.

Oh, those popular classics! Right.

That won’t be a problem, will it?

For us? Oh, no, no, no. We’re British old man. You know, classical music is our heritage. It’s our lifeblood. You know, we grew up listening to Beethoven’s 1812 in our cribs.

Tchaikovsky.

No, no, no, no. It’s absolutely true.

No, Jon…

Jo, shut up. I can bluff this guy. I do know a bit about classical music, you know.

It was Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

That’s what I meant.

Personally, I’ve always preferred his Romeo and Juliet the symphonic version, naturally. The ballet version was a bit too superficial for my taste.

What?

Exactly. So, so, you enjoy the Russian composers.

I quite like the riot spring, though. I always did say Leon Trotsky goes a long, long way.

Oh, then you’ll fit right in here, so can you start tomorrow say 11am?

Mhm.

Ah, excellent. Excuse me.

What just happened?

My dad was a classical music, nutter. He used to have his own used record store down the rock for market. I could bals before I could walk, Jon.

You kept that quiet.

Not so much quiet. More pan simmer.

Now you’re just showing off.

Yeah.
