Pick Your Fish, Game 1

Bods:

Right hello?

Cathy:

Hiya.

Bods:

Hello, who's that?

Cathy:

It's Cathy from Marys.

Bods:

Great, er now, lets try and get you to - Turn the microphone off and see if that works... Great! right, can everyone hear me now?

Cath:

Yep!

Bods:

Right! Are you ready to play Pick Your Fish?

<Silence.>

Bods:

Is anyone ready to play Pick Your Fish?

Cathy:

Hello Bods!

<Laughter.>

Bods:

It's going well this morning - hello, how are you?

Cathy:

Fine thanks, I've woken up early this morning so I hope my tutor's listening.

Cath:

Who is she and where is she from?

Bods:

Who is she - yeah we've done that bit.
<Screech>

Cathy:

You've got a lot of feedback there haven't you.

Bods:

A lot?! A lot - I'm deafening myself in my headphones, right... <to people in studio> do you reckon that's going to be alright? Okay, go on then get on with it play pick your fish.

Stu:

Cathy Aldridge! It is time to play...

Everyone:

Pick... Your... Fish!

Stu:

Now the game is very simple, for those of you that don't know, that are listening for the first time... <pregnant pause> You've got to pick five fish, you've gotta get twenty-five points, each fish is worth between one and twelve points, apart from the special fish, the special fish is...

Stu & Edwin: 

The Twenty-Five Point Fish!

<Catherine laughs.>

Stu:

Also in there for the special, special prize, if you manage to make that, then you will get to open the freezer and play for <pause> the fish, the fish, the fish... <Edwin joins in> the fish in the dish, the dish, the dish, the fish in the dish, the fish in the dish, d-dish!

Stu:

So! If you've all got that sorted out, lets get ready to play

Everyone:

Pick your FISH!

Iain:

<Mumbling> Have we enfisherised?

Edwin:

We enfisherised a long time ago.

Stu:

Just check the enfisheriser though.

Edwin:

We'll give that a whirl.

<Loud beeping noises. Catherine laughs - again.>

Stu:

The enfisheriser is in fact...

Edwin:

Is in fact working.

Stu:

So! Are you ready to pick a fish?

Cathy:

I am.

Stu:

Pick your fish!

Cathy:

It's gonna have to be an anchovy.

Everyone:

Woooooooooooo!

Stu:

Low point on the anchovy today.

Edwin:

Four points for the anchovy.

Stu:

I hope someone's keeping count here. The enfisheriser's counting device isn't very good. <Pause> Okay, are you ready for your second pick?

Cathy:

I'm ready for the second pick.

Stu:

Go for the second pick.

Cathy:

The puffa fish.

<Slight pause.>

Catherine:

Wooo!

Stu:

Always good. Always good for a few points.

Edwin:

I'd say that... Let's take a look.

Stu:

Is that about an eight people, do we think?

Edwin:

It looks like an eight - I think that's an eight.

Stu:

We've got an eight on the enfisheriser so you're on twelve points with three fish to go.

Cathy:

Okay. The Angel fish.

Stu:

<Despairing sigh.>

Edwin:

If you'd said that yesterday...

<Catherine laughs - what a surprise!>

Edwin:

...unfortunately today... One point.

Cathy:

Oh no.
<Feedback screech>

Stu:

So you've got thirteen, you've only got two fish left.

Cathy:

Can I have a coy carp.

Stu:

<slightly stunned> You can. We can check with the enfisheriser.

Iain:

I wouldn't do that, the shark will get out.

Stu:

Oh no! I think that's another eight.

Edwin:

Another eight.

Stu:

Good god. You're in there now there. You'll get five from your final fish. Dead easy.

Edwin:

Dead easy.

Stu:

Dead easy. Any... Any fool can get five.

Cathy:

Aw. It's gonna have to be the haddock then.

Edwin:

Ah. Any fool except ...

Stu:

Cathy Aldridge! You have got just four points! Oh dear. I'm afraid that's only twenty four points. I'm sorry to say that you did not win Pick Your Fish and you do not get your chance to pick your star prize. <Catherine laughs> Oh well that's a sad story isn't it?

Edwin:

It is sad, but I think it is worth pointing out thought that the enfisheriser was brought to you courtesy of Sammy Sultana - although he doesn't actually know this.

<General laughter.>

Stu:

Ah! So c'mon someone else try. We've got hundreds and hundreds of amazing prizes and the fish is STILL in the freezer.

Catherine:

Yeah.

Edwin:

We've got to wind up the enfisheriser again now.

Stu:

Quick! Re-enfisherise for the next happy punter.

Bods:

Three seven four thirty eighty if you wanna play.

<Random loud bleeping.>

Bods:

This hopefully should be Comfort - The Proof of You.
