RADIO CRACKLE - BETWEEN REPORTER & STUDIO:
David:Hi, yeah, Mike can you hear me?
Mike:Unfortunately... (cuts off) Yes. We're back.
Carry on carrying on David.
Davidk, well I can see from up here that the North
Sea has definately flooded Mike. 90% of it is
half submerged.
Mike:That's god awful news David. Try harder.
David:It's a huge natural disaster Mike. I spoke to
Commander Harris today, the man
in charge of dealing with the crisis, and he
told me that almost three million bits of
marine life had drowned to death.
Mike:Gosh
David:He also told me that any surviving sea
creatures are being air-lifted to Seaworld in
California for immediate exploitation, and
that... (cuts off)
Mike:If you've just joined us our very own man's man
in the whirly bird David Probe has just
informed us that the North Sea has indeed
flooded itself and nearly all of it is
underwater.

David:It's carnage down there Mike, I can see a
distraught looking crab clinging to what looks
like a piece of drifting wood or 'driftwood' to
use a piece of nautical jargon.
Mike:Anything less dull?
David:No.
Mike: Then go home you charlatan David. More or less
of that tepid news gust later.
