Scenes with Pepperpot 1 3

RARadio Announcer

That was Episode Two of "The Death of Mary Queen of Scots", adapted for the radio by Bernard Hollowood and Brian London. And now, Radio Four will explode. [interval music plays until the radio suddenly combusts]

P1Pepperpot 1

We'll have to watch the telly then.

P2Pepperpot 2

Yes.

P1Pepperpot 1

Well, what's on the television then?

P2Pepperpot 2

Looks like a penguin.

P1Pepperpot 1

No, no, no, no! I didn't mean 'what's on the television set?' I meant 'what program?'

P2Pepperpot 2

Oh.

P2Pepperpot 2

Funny that penguin being there, innit? What's it doing there?

P1Pepperpot 1

Standing.

P2Pepperpot 2

I can see that!

P1Pepperpot 1

If it lays an egg, it'll fall down the back of the television set.

P2Pepperpot 2

We'll have to watch that. Unless it's a male.

P1Pepperpot 1

Ooh, I hadn't thought of that.

P2Pepperpot 2

Yes. Looks fairly butch.

P1Pepperpot 1

Perhaps it comes from next door.

P2Pepperpot 2

Penguins don't come from next door; they come from the Antarctic!

P1Pepperpot 1

BURMA!

P2Pepperpot 2

Why'd you say 'Burma'?

P1Pepperpot 1

I panicked.

P2Pepperpot 2

Perhaps it's from the zoo.

P1Pepperpot 1

Which zoo?

P2Pepperpot 2

How should I know which zoo? I'm not Dr. Bloody Bronowski!

P1Pepperpot 1

How does Dr. Bronowski know which zoo it came from?

P2Pepperpot 2

He knows everything.

P1Pepperpot 1

Ooh, I wouldn't like that. It'd take the mystery out of life. Anyway, if it came from the zoo, it'd have 'Property of the Zoo' stamped on it.

P2Pepperpot 2

No it wouldn't. They don't stamp animals 'Property of the Zoo'! You couldn't stamp a huge lion!

P1Pepperpot 1

They stamp them when they're small.

P2Pepperpot 2

What happens when they moult?

P1Pepperpot 1

Lions don't moult!

P2Pepperpot 2

No, but penguins do. There! I've run rings around you, logically.

P1Pepperpot 1

Oh, intercourse the penguin!

It's just gone eight o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode.

[The penguin explodes]

P1Pepperpot 1

How did he know that was going to happen?

TATV Announcer

It was an inspired guess. And now...
