Acting Up

by Pop Shield

DJ Dave Wrong has invited a throng of production staff to record some trail liners in the studio. The joke is that they are all ‘ordinary people’ not actors. They receive direction from Dave on how to each deliver their line badly with ill-advised emphasis.

He takes the opportunity to record some new applause.

“It’s the same clapping but it sounds five years newer.” remarks Jon.

It’s the turn of Mr Tickle, Steve’s ex-radio producer.

“That’s RIGHT. And LOTS of fun” he drones blankly.

“Try it slightly more enthusiastically.” instructs Wrongy.

“I’m trying to get a balance between bewildered and enthusiastic” says Mr Tickle.

“You’ve always managed it before” quips Wrongy.
