PETE POTTER

George and Lynne are getting amorous. A voice from the television says that the search is continuing for snooker player Pete Potter. It continues to say that Potter's in the frame for a crime but police haven't a cue where he is. George and Lynne look shocked.

George and Lynne have decided to do the deed on the sofa tonight. The late film has got them in the mood but the news in the middle of the film has come one. The shocking story of Pete Potter has been gripping the nation. Potter's wife and brother were found murdered at his home and he has not been seen since.

The police say they just want to eliminate him from their enquiries but let's face it, he did it. Unless he gets Johnny Cochran and Robert Shapiro to defend him, Potter is going down for a long time. George and Lynne stop kissing because they, like the country, are fascinated by the story. It is unfortunate that the news reader uses the word 'cue' instead of 'clue'. This was a mistake. The writer of the autocue should have used words which were less easy to mispronounce, such as 'police have still yet to locate his whereabouts.'

  1. I suspect Mr Potter will not be the only one going down for a long time......

  2. The person speaking is probably doing it deliberately, because they are emphasizing the words "frame" and "cue". Either Reginald Bosanquet has been on one of his benders or the Little And Large show just started, which would put anyone off their stroke.

  3. There weren't news bulletins in the middle of films in the 80s, where G&L live. That would only happen if a big story broke, and the police's continuing failure to find someone would not qualify.

  6. Sounds like one of the fake news headlines which the two Ronnies used to perform at the end of their show, maybe that's what they were watching.
