MUSIC: "Oxygene Pt IV" by Jean-Michel Jarre

You're watching Adventure Call.

My name is Falconhoof and I will be your guide on your quest.

Greetings, line two. What is your name, traveller?

Hi, Falconhoof, my name's Ewan!

Greetings, Ewan. Are you ready to begin your quest?

'Just a moment. Shhh.'

-EWAN GLUGS

-'Ah!'

What was that you were drinking? It seems very delicious.

'It is! It's Barry's Red Cola!'

Ah! Barry's Red Cola. Sparkling, tasty and refreshing.

A great companion on any adventure. Are you ready to begin yours?

-'I am now!'

-Very well.

You awake in a giant's kitchen. You're on a plate.

Nearby is a steel goblet.

You hear thunderous footsteps approaching.

What would you like to do?

'Hide in the goblet!'

You climb over the lip of the goblet

and dive into a pool of...

Barry's Red Cola!

'Oh, really?'

-Yes, really.

-'Man, I love that stuff.'

Me, too.

The giant searches the room for you. He glances towards the goblet.

What would you like to do?

'Drink Barry's Red Cola!'

You drink the delicious Barry's Red Cola.

The goblet is empty.

You sit at the bottom of the goblet, safely out of view.

Good idea, traveller.

'I have a confession, Falconhoof.

'It was luck! I just couldn't help drinking all that Barry's Red Cola!'

Ha-ha-ha. I hear you!

Unfortunately, the giant also loves Barry's Red Cola

and begins refilling the goblet from his bottle.

What would you like to do?

'Drink Barry's Red Cola!'

You drink the Barry's Red Cola as it pours over you.

Barry's Red Cola also tastes great straight from the bottle.

You remain out of view at the bottom of the goblet.

Another great idea, traveller.

But don't tell me it was luck.

you just couldn't help drinking all that...

-BOTH:

-Barry's Red Cola!

'Hey, you can't blame me, huh?'

No way, man! But the giant keeps pouring faster than you can drink!

You must act quickly.

'Let me think about it.'

HEARTY GLUGGING

'Ah!'

-Traveller?

-'Yeah?'

-You're dead!

-'Oh, no! What happened?'

You drowned in Barry's Red Cola.

What a glorious way to die.

'Yeah. I was too busy enjoying the real thing.'

Ah, yes. What better way to enjoy red cola,

than the real thing, the REAL red cola, Barry's Red Cola.

MAN HANGS UP

Miaow!

HE EXHALES DRAMATICALLY

HE HISSES

HE EXHALES DRAMATICALLY

Miaow!

Just going to leave that there. All right?

APPLAUSE

Hello, my name's Raymond Day, and welcome to Paraside.

Let's see where the spirit takes us.

Could someone understand, please?

I have here in spirit someone who, at the time of their passing,

looked very different from how they usually looked,

and not necessarily for the better.

You, my dear?

I think it might be my son.

It might be your son. OK.

And am I right in saying that this change in his appearance

was caused by...an illness?

Or an accident? Or...?

Yeah, an accident. He was killed in a car crash.

A crash? Oh, God!

And you saw what had happened when you went to identify him.

Am I right?

Well, I was in the car with him,

but I had my seat belt on, so I survived but he didn't.

Oh, lucky you!

No, no, you weren't lucky, because you saw your son and he was,

and he admits this himself, not a pretty picture.

LAUGHTER

His face was all over the place. Is that right?

Good, because he's telling me now, who's this?

My husband.

This is Husband.

You told Husband you couldn't get that face out of your mind.

Every time you closed your eyes, it was there.

It's just not how you want to remember your son.

But he's telling me now,

"Don't cry, Mum! they've put me back together again.

"All the king's horses and all the king's men

"have put me back together again."

Just like the nursery rhyme you used to sing to him, remember?

He just wants to come through to tell you that.

And that's him away.

APPLAUSE

But now he's away, I can tell you.

He's a mess. He's no different. He was trying to cheer you up,

but I thought you'd want the truth,

cos you're going to see it eventually.

-And don't worry, I think you'll have plenty of time to get used to it!

-LAUGHTER

That was nice of him. I'll leave his love with you.

The thing is, me and my family are moving to New Zealand next week,

Aye, all right. Come in for a minute.

Oh, amazing mate, thanks a lot!

Oh, it's just how I remember it. This wall used to be Artexed.

In fact, I think the whole thing used to be Artexed. Remember Artex?

Aye, the Artex. Here, where are you going?

Sorry, mate, it's just, this used to be my bedroom.

Would you mind?

-No, no, on ye go.

-Some man.

Oh, look at this, look at this. It's a lot wee-er than I remember,

but obviously I was wee myself, know what I mean?

Aye, it was yellow up to about there,

cos I started painting it yellow, but ran out of paint.

-Eh, listen, could you, could you gie's a minute?

-Aye, nae bother.

-Tae myself?

-Naw, I cannae do that, mate.

Listen, do you want to leave now? I'm pretty busy.

It'll just be a minute mate.

-I've got stuff to get on with. Come on.

SALESMAN SUCKS HIS TEETH

Miaow!

SALESMAN EXHALES DRAMATICALLY

HE HISSES, MEWS AND EXHALES REPEATEDLY

Miaow!

OK. Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Neil.

-My name's Darren.

-Hello, I'm Julie.

Ma name's Jacqueline McCafferty. I lost...

We'll just go through the names first, Jacqueline.

'I was on that stupid group therapy...'

-I'm Kerry.

-I'm Nadine.

-I'm Vince.

So, Jacqueline, do you want to share?

I lost three year of my life tae hero-ine.

Another five tae a methadone programme meant to get us off it

but that's me clean now!

I haven't thought once about going back on the smack, until Tuesday.

Washing machine broke. Neighbour says, "You flooded us!

"Third time this month!" I was like, "It's the second!"

Third? Second? Third? Second? Stressed oot the eyeballs!

Felt like daein' a charge of kit into my arm there and then!

So here I am.

I know how you feel.

I lost four year of my life to heroin, and four on methadone.

That's me been out of work for about six month now.

-The pressure...

-Eight year all-in?

You lost like, four year on the hero-ine,

-and four year on the methadone? Eight year?

-Aye.

Well, same here! I'm five and three, you're nae worse than me!

I know. We've all had it bad.

-Aye, so...

-So I've been unemployed for six months

but there's still bills that need to get paid, and the pressure...

Haud on! You were on the hero-ine for a year more than me

but methadone a year less?

I think so?

I lost five on methadone! You only lost four! Methadone's worse!

-Aye, for some!

-Methadone's worse!

We agree, don't we? Methadone's worse than hero-ine, in't it?!

-Well, no' for me!

-Oh, no, not for you, not for Princess!

Well, I thought a lot about heroin over the last couple of months,

despite having lost everything to it. It's just the pressure.

-Lost everything?

-Pretty much.

-Lose your daughter to the Social?

-My sons?

Well, getting two weans back is better than getting one!

I've no' got them back!

-Methadone's worse!

-What?!

-This isnae a competition, hen!

Can I get a shot?

You've lost three year to heroin, right? Another five tae methadone?

Well, I've lost three to heroin, but I only lost three to methadone.
