[Caller is talking about TV Ratings]

Caller: The World cup final got 15,017,000

Nick: For the world cup final itself, which was a boring match but aren't they always?

('Correct' SFX)

Caller: No, I didn't think it was boring at all, I thought it was terrific, I enjoyed it. Ok and number 1, as you predicted, was Eastenders

('Wrong' SFX)

With 15,800,000

Nick: Really?

Caller: It seems that nothing, even a great concert like the three tenors or a world cup final can get in the way of this thing that's been conditioned into this culture.

Nick: And (I have no idea how to spell this) Placemo-dimingo (Look, I tried ok?) singing..

(SFX : 'I'm a loser baby..')

Caller: Well, you telephone a moronic DJ to talk about moronism and what do you get?

Nick: Erm...

(Caller slams phone down)

Nick: Exactly, a moron. Blimey, he was angry wasn't he? What an idiot. Call him back.

Kev: He's never going to listen again. Actually we do have his number.

Nick: We don't need him. What the hell was his problem? He left in a hissy fit, you could almost see him mincing out of the room. Slammed the phone down. (Nick sighs in a gay kind of way, everyone laughs) He's gone to stroke the cat. Calm down mate, it's only a radio show. Blimey!
