Dear Mum, it's a big week. It's been five years since | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
I was on The Freedom Show, so I get an automatic place this week. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
The competition is tough though... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
..but I'm feeling confident. I've spent years honing my act, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
studying the winners, and I have learnt... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Absolutely nothing. Sorry to interrupt here, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
but your son doesn't seem to appreciate that | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
without me, he doesn't stand a chance. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
-Oh, get off. -Well, it's true. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
On your own, you're nothing but a man with a rolled-up sleeve. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
-Oi, how dare you? Oi, give it back! Give it back! -You see? | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
That's teamwork. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Why do I put myself through it? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
# You've been found guilty Of a howling showbiz crime | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
# So welcome to The Slammer Where you're going to serve your time | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |

# It's the only way You'll ever leave The Slammer! # | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
I'm worried. Have you seen Peter's act for this week's show? | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-Is it any better? -It couldn't get any worse. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
What are we going to do? The lad has been in prison for ages, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
far too long. He'll never stand a chance against Hard Shoulder, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
Dazl Diamonds, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Boldo, the cube man. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
It does seem unlikely, sir, yes. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
I suppose we could always, er... | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-What, sir? -Well, you know. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:01 | |
Well, you know what, sir? | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Well, you know, sort of, tip the scales, as it were. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
Ha! Are you suggesting, sir? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Suggesting, Mr Burgess? Suggesting? I won't here a word of it! Dear. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
I am surprised at you, Frank. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
You're the longest serving prisoner in this place | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
and there's only one reason. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-It's stuck to the end of my arm. -What? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Don't think you're carrying me just because you're carrying me. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-The fact is, you've held me back. -I'm sorry? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
You think you're helping me by sticking your hand up my jumper, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
when all you're doing is taking credit for all | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
the funny things that I say. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-Yeah, but it's a ventriloquist act. -So? -Well, in a ventriloquist act... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
-Yes? -Well, the person who... -Go on, say it! | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Well, I'm the one who does all the talking. You're just a puppet. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-A load of old cloth. -How dare you?! | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-Well, you made me say it. -Take me off your arm. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:02 | |
-Oh, Titch, come on. -No, this double act is over. Take me off your arm. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
Don't be like that, little Titch. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
I am not joking here, buddy. Take me off your arm, right now! | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
All right, I will take you off my arm right now. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Right, Peter. Let's have a look at this new act of yours. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
-What happened? -It's over. -Huh? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Pete and Titch are no longer a double act. I am going solo. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
But why? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:28 | |
Ask him. He ended it. What am I going to do? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Ventriloquism is all I have ever known. It's my only talent. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
That's debatable. Ahem... | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Well, maybe I could street dance, or eat fire, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
or do bird impersonations. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Squark! | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
This could be the best thing that has ever happened to me. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
I am going to reinvent myself. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Now, look, lad, let's be realistic about this. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
There's no way you're going to learn this before the show. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
What do you mean, Mr B? It doesn't look so hard. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
SCREAMING AND SIRENS WAIL | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
Now, listen, lad, this sort of thing takes years of training. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Both of these circus acts, they've been doing it | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-since they were kids. You've left it too late. -No, that's rubbish, Mr B. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
The thing about trapeeeeze... Agh! | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
GLASS PANE SMASHES Told you so. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
I know it must be hard, but don't give up all hope, not yet. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
Show business, eh? Like no business. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Like no business I know. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
We had a chap in here once. Sword swallower, he was. In for years. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
He ate most of the cutlery in this place. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Anyway, halfway through his act, he threw up. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Didn't win, mind, but he did lay 15 tables for the supper. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:18 | |
He does silver service now. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
You think on that. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
ROAR! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Now, Nokio, I promise this isn't for you, lad. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
No, I have got a good feeling about this one, Mr Burgess. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Look, son, you've lost your way. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:37 | |
Stop all this silliness and go and get yourself some lunch. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
SCREAMING AND ROARING I told you so. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Ooh. Oh. Ow. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
I've had enough of this nonsense. You and Titch are getting back | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
-together again. -No way. -Look what you've done to the little lad. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
I've made a new start and there's no turning back no-ooow. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Peter, listen to me. You have to face facts. You are hopeless. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:09 | |
In all my years in the Slammer, I have never encountered an act | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
whose lack of talent extends | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
across the entire spectrum of British showbiz. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:23 | |
You are the most uncharismatic, uncoordinated, | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
unfunny, unengaging, unsophisticated, and uninspiring | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
act that has ever had the misfortune to set foot upon that stage. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:36 | |
You are, to put it plainly, Pete, without a doubt, completely | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
and utterly useless. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Well, that's just your opinion. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
Anyone else agree with me? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
We do! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Which is why your only hope of getting out of here is to put | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
the old act back together again. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
Perhaps the two of you might be able to come up with | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
something that might just about pass for entertainment. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-OK. -Good stuff. Now perhaps, finally, we can have some lunch. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
Come on. Grab one of these. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
Oh, I've found my talent! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Well, what are we going to do, sir? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
They've still got a spot in the Freedom Show. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
I don't know. How do I look? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
Divine! | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Thank you very much. In that case, it's show time! Oh, yes. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to HMP Slammer, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
where you decide which prisoner is to be released. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
Now, please, welcome your host, bringing hope where there's despair. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
Bringing seats where there's no chair. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Bringing wigs where there's no hair. Oh, blimey! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
It's the Governor! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
-Who's the Governor? -You're the Governor! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
Oh, fantastic, jailers and jailbirds. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
We've got a dazzling act called Dazl Diamonds. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
Wooooo! | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
A most unusual man in all senses, very shapey, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-he's Boldo, the Cube Man. Woo! -Wooo! | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
And our very own Pete and Titch. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
Woo! | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
But first, starting us off, the unique talent of Hard Shoulder. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:37 | |
Hard Shoulder. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Do you like them, or are you going to give them the cold shoulder? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
Let's find out with the very athletic Mr Burgess. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Right, then, Hard Shoulder, or soft as a baby's bottom? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
It was amazing, like two rubber bands on string. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Like two rubber bands on string. Is that a fair assessment, boys? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
GIGGLING Yes? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Tell me all about Hard Shoulder. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
I thought they were very flexible, bendy and talented. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
They've been in the Slammer for a while. Would you let them go free? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
-Yeah. -Now, sir, during that act, I heard you scream out. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
"I would never do that in my life." | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
It was scary. Very, very scary. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-What were you doing, hiding? -No. -Behind these ladies? Man up, sir! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:48 | |
It's only a couple of blokes on a bit of rope. What's wrong with you? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
-Now that was an acrobatic act. Could you do that? -Well, yeah. -Yeah? | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
-Does anyone know this young man? -Yes. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
-Can he do that sort of thing? -Yes. -Yes?! | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
So, speaking as an expert, what did you think of that act then? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
It was legendary. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
And what advice would you give people swinging on a rope? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
Don't fall. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
-Don't fall? -And for one final word, sum that act up. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
-Acrobatic. -Acrobatic! | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
Well, Hard Shoulder could be going free. It's early days yet. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
Would you please show your appreciation for Dazl Diamonds? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:33 | |
Well, Dazl Diamonds there. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
Were they diamonds, or will they be staying inside, in fact, | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
here in the Slammer, just eating carrots? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Carats. Diamonds. Oh, Mr Burgess, help me out. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Dazl Diamonds, there. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
But, were they razzle-dazzle, or razzle-frazzle? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
-It was cool. -Cool? -Yeah. -I see you've drawn a pair of feet. -Yeah. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-What's that about? -I don't know. She drew it. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
Oh, you drew the feet. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
-Signifying what? -Cats. -Of course it is. Of course. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:44 | |
Drawing a pair of feet while watching a dance act, signifying cats. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Did the Dazl Diamonds dazzle you? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
Yes, certainly, they did. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-Is it the sort of thing that you could do? -Most probably, yes. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
Right, give us one of your things, there you go. Stand up, mate. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Stand up, there you are. # Dum, Dum, Dum... # | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
Very good, give him a big hand there, yes. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
One final word to sum that act up for me, miss. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-Coolelicious. -Coolelicious, sir. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
Jailers and jailbirds, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
on now to that special act we call, you know it, yes, | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
it's Solitary Confinement! | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Mad Edna up on the roof of the Slammer, | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
as she gazes down on the act | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
that we keep hidden away in the darkest dungeon. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
We let them out occasionally to perform. If they get the thumbs up, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
they get a little treat just for the day. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
And today's treat is a ride on the Slammer bus, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-round the grounds of the prison. -Oooh! | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
But if they get the thumbs down, | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
it's back to the cell for a cruel and unusual punishment. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
-Oh, yes. Mr Burgess. -Sir! | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
What is today's cruel and unusual punishment? | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
Today, sir, it's being strapped to a bungee rope | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
and thrown into a skip-load of pimple puss, sir. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
Woah! | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Before we go any further, we need a judge. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
Mr Burgess, using your wisdom and discernment. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-Right, you sir. -Yes, give him a round of applause. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-This way. -Thank you, Mr Burgess. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-Your name, sir? -Michael. -Michael, what a splendid memory you have. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
Just show everyone you've got a thumb. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
You'll need that later. Here we go, it's time for Solitary Confinement. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
Come on, Michael. Here we go, sit down. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
I am the blindfolded balloon barber. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
I have to shave these three dummies | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
in one minute, blindfolded, using this. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
Start the music! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
He's got a moustache. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Who's next? Madam, yes, yes. A little off the top, perhaps. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Well, Michael, you watched that act. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
It's up to you to decide. Remember, thumbs up, trip on the bus. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Thumbs down, head in the puss. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
Ready? Your five seconds to decide starts now. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
That's up. It's up. You've got a trip on a bus. Wonderful. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
Give him a round of applause. They've done well. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
And give Michael a big hand, as well. Thank you, off you go. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
And now on to our next performing prisoner, Boldo, the Cube Man! | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
Were you bowled over by Boldo, or was he a bit of a square? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
-Right, miss. -He was very flexible when he did the splits. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
-Very flexible? -Yes. -Do you like that in an acrobat? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah, flexibility? Yeah. What about the Cube? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-He was very strong holding it on his head. -Yes. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Baldo, the Cube Man. Can you give me your thoughts on that act, sir? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
Yeah, he was absolutely amazing. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
He was incredible, awesome, talented, excellent. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
-You liked that act. -Yeah. -He should go free? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-Yeah. -Sir? -I thought he was sick, cool, and awesome. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-Sick. Shall we get a doctor? -No. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-Get him some special medical attention? -No. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-Do you think he needs surgery, sir? -No. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-None of the above, then, sir? -No. -Thank you. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
-Should Boldo go free? -Yes. -Why is that? | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Because it was very cool. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Tell us what you wrote. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
-Cubelicious. -Cubelicious. But most unusual? -Yes. -A score out of ten? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:10 | |
Eight. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
-One final word, miss. -Unthinkable. -Unthinkable, sir. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
Jailers and jailbirds, just one more performing prisoner act to see. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
And I have been checking up in the Freedom Show rulebook here, | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
and it says here | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-in paragraph five, subsection... -RASPBERRY BLOWS | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
It says that all prisoners who have served over five years | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
without performing get an automatic place on the show. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
-But then it says in subsection... -RASPBERRY BLOWS | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
It says we can only have four main acts. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
So, erm, who do you want to see, Pete or Titch? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
-Who should it be? -Titch! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
All right, then, for one performance only, the one and only Titch! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
'What am I going to do?' | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
Woo! | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
I'm sorry, Titch, I let you down. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
It's OK, Peter I knew you'd never leave me. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
# You know | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
# I can't smile without you | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
# I can't smile without you | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
# I can't laugh and I can't sing | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
# I'm finding it hard to do anything | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
# You know I feel sad when you're sad | 0:22:47 | 0:22:53 | |
# I feel glad when you're glad | 0:22:53 | 0:22:58 | |
# If you only knew what I'm going through | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
# I just can't smile... | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
# At the Copa, Copa Cabana... | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
# ..At the Copa, Copa Cabana | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
# Music and passion were always the fashion | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
# At the Copa... | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
# You know I can't smile without you. # | 0:23:26 | 0:23:33 | |
Oh, I love you, Titch. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
There they are, Pete and Titch. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
The night Variety died, those two were taken in for questioning. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
But what did you think, jailers and jailbirds? Let's find out | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
with the long-suffering Mr Burgess. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
-Pete and Titch, poor? -It was absolutely beautiful. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
-Really? -It's been the best act I have seen all night. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
-Really? -I loved it. -You think that man should go free? -Yes. -Fair enough. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:09 | |
What did you think of Pete and Titch? | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
I thought they were like puppet masters | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
and they were pretty good singers. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
-Done enough to go free? -Yeah. -Right. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
-It was really poor and rubbish. -Poor and rubbish. -The singing was awful. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:26 | |
-Yes. -The music was awful. -What else was awful? -Everything. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:32 | |
-Peter Nokio, himself? -Yes. -Just one big pile of awful, then, sir. -Yeah. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:37 | |
What about you, did you like that double act? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
-Good, what was the best part of it? -When Pete threw Titch off the stage. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
-And which was the stronger performer of the two? -Er, Titch, definitely. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
-So, Titch to go free, as far as you're concerned? -And Pete. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
-Pete, as well? Hurray! -One final word to sum that act up, sir. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
-Dummytastic. -Dummytastic, sir. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
You've seen all the performing prisoners. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
Welcome them back, because it's time to decide who goes free. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
Let's hear it for Hard Shoulder! | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
Dazl Diamonds! | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
Boldo, the Cube Man! | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
And Pete and Titch! | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Yes, they all hope to go free. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Only one act can get out, of course. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
And you'll decide with the aid of this, the Clap-o-meter. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
Well, they're a marvellous act. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
They were very high up there on the flying trapeze. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
What did you think of, let's hear it, for Hard Shoulder! | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
Look at that. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:40 | |
Brilliant score. 90. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
Brilliant, give them a big hand, wonderful. Hard Shoulder. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
What did you think of this next performing prisoner act? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
There were eight of them, they were the Dazl Diamonds. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
Oh, good score, folks. Good score, but only 81, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
which means that Hard Shoulder stay in pole position, as it were. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
Well, the next act, I have never seen an act like this before, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
but he was Boldo the Cube Man. Let's hear it for him, please. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Oh, Boldo, you're staying with us for supper. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
One more performing prisoner actor to see. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
They've been in the Slammer as long as I remember. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
What did you think, though, of Pete and Titch? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
I don't believe it. He's scored a 91.7. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
This has utterly dumbfounded us because it means, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
going free at last, it's Pete and Titch with 91.7. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
He's going free. He's going free. Off you go, Pete and Titch. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
It means, though, the other performing prisoners, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
you're staying in time for tea. Mr Burgess, I ask you this question | 0:27:00 | 0:27:05 | |
after the Freedom Show, what are they having for tea? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
It's always the same old thing, sloppy-ploppy porridge. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
What is it tonight? Something different? | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
-Tonight, sir, it's, ahem... -What's that, Mr Burgess? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
-I said, ahem, sir. -I can't hear you, can you please speak clearly? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
Oh, sloppy-ploppy porridge, sir. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
I thought so. Take them back to the cells. Go on, off you go. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
There you are. Give them all a big round of applause, please. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
Well, jailers and jailbirds, that's it for another Freedom Show. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
Bye-bye, everybody. Bye-bye! | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
# It's the only way you'll ever leave The Slammer! # | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
# You know I can't smile without you. # | 0:27:51 | 0:27:58 | |
Freedom! | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 |
