(Cut to quirk clip of the Battle
of Pearl Harbor from show eleven, first
series. Beginning with Eric blowing the whistle and the two sides
rushing at each other. Cut back to announcer.)
Announcer: That was last year's re-enactment of the Battle of Pearl
Harbor performed by the BatIcy Townswomen's Guild. It was
written, directed and produced by Mrs Rita Fairbanks.
(Cut to Rita Fairbanks on the beach.)
Rita: Hello again.
Voice Over: And what are your ladies going to do for us this year.
Rita: Well, this year we decided to re-enact something with a more
modern flavour. We had considered a version of Michael Stewart's
speech on Nigeria and there were several votes on the Committee
for a staging of Herr Willi Brandt's visit to East Germany, but
we've settled instead for a dramatization of the first heart
transplant. Incidentally my sister Madge will be playing the plucky
little springbok pioneer Christian Barnard.
Voice Over: Well off we go, then with the Barley Townswomen's Guild
re-enactment of the first heart transplant.
(Rita Fairbanks blows her whistle. The two groups of ladies rush at each
other. They end up in the sea, rolling about splashing, and thumping
each other with handbags.)
