Tommy News

Tommy News was informative show that reported on the day to day lives of Da Bois, from the 19th February 2021 to the 5th March 2021. This news show had a total of nine broadcasts, covering important issues that include; thieves, law, order and discovery. Tommy News is reported by Tommy and his twin brother, who we meet for the very first time, called Timmy. The theme tune for the show is “Tommy used to work on Da dock”.

The first ever broadcast was called “Tommy News (the thief)!”, Tommy reports that DooDoo has gone missing. However, Timmy soon after reports that DooDoo was sighted on the arms of a large, adult lemur called DaaDaa. Like Tommy, DaaDaa believes that DooDoo is his son, which would cause great tension in the future. DaaDaa tries to escape, but Tommy sends out the emergency services (Hank and Frank). Hank hurls DaaDaa towards Tommy and Frank returns DooDoo to Tommy. The episode ends with Tommy locking DaaDaa up in a temporary prison cell.

The second broadcast was called “Tommy News (A Disrupted Party). There has been a large party, lead by Tommy himself, lasting through the night and into the next morning. However, whilst everyone was distracted, DaaDaa managed to break out of his cell. He was caught snatching DooDoo from the party by Tommy, who sent out the emergency services, Hank and Frank. They were able to track DaaDaa down, return DooDoo to Tommy and lock up DaaDaa in prison again, allowing the parties to continue. However, some of Da Bois are now becoming quite tired…

In the broadcast, “Tommy News(order, order!)” Tommy reports that large parties continue to rage since the second return of DooDoo. Tommy holds a formal vote amongst Da Bois questioning whether the parties can carry on forever. DaaDaa has been released from his prison cell, but is not allowed to vote due to having a criminal record. Tommy, Hank, Frank and Billy vote is favour of the parties continuing, whereas only Phill votes against the parties. All other potential voters are asleep, due to the fact that, for some reason, they have been awake through the night. The voting concludes and the parties continue.

The broadcast “Tommy News (The Journey up a Mountain)” DooDoo set off to be the first boi ever to climb the Staircase Mountain. Timmy reports that DooDoo’s journey was difficult and that upon reaching the summit, they sky became much darker. At the top of the mountain, DooDoo found a pool of purple goo. Upon coming into contact with the substance, he heard a loud shriek that cried "MEKLET" before disappearing from view.

In the following broadcast, titled "Tommy News (A Missing Lemur)" Tommy is concerned that DooDoo has not returned. For this reason, is sends Frank to climb Staircase Mountain in search of him. Upon reaching the summit, Frank hears a voice that sounds like that of DooDoo, originating from the lake of purple goo. However, when Franks move towards this goo, which we have established is known as meklet, he reportedly disappears. This is extremely similar to the case of DooDooo.

With Frank disappearing, Tommy has no other choice but to send his trusted twin brother, Timmy, as seen in "Tommy News (Timmy Volunteers)". Timmy makes the difficult journey up the same mountain those this before him. At the top, he hears a strange voice coming from the pool of meklet, saying "Dat one better!”. Suddenly, Timmy witnesses DooDoo and Frank being ejected from the goo unharmed, before the meklet suddenly grasped hold of Timmy and absorbed into his body. Timmy has been taken over by the meklet, which appears to be a living organism that has found a suitable host.

For this reason, recording temporarily halted as reporter Timmy was being controlled by meklet. Away from the camera; Tommy, DooDoo and Frank brought Timmy down from the bedroom and rested him on a pillow. In a simple operation, Tommy applied swift pressure to Timmy’s nose by striking it with a spoon, causing the meklet to dissipate from his body. Timmy had been restored and normality had returned!

After hearing claims that DaaDaa had been with DooDoo, Tommy had DaaDaa detained (by Hank and Frank) and initiated a national-scale trial. This was covered over two broadcasts, "Tommy News (The High Court)1” and "Tommy News (The High Court)2". Tommy is the judge and prosecutor, Timmy is the jury and DaaDaa is the defendant. Collin, Bob, Baby Bear, DooDoo, George, Oleg, Olog, RuffRuff and Boo were witnesses. Hank and Frank were also present in case of any emergency.

In the first broadcast, Collin confirms that he has seen DaaDaa with DooDoo and that DaaDaa has claimed DooDoo as his own son. George states that he has seen DaaDaa giving DooDoo little cuddles. DooDoo, a primary witness, agrees with the proposition that DaaDaa likes him. Oleg agrees with the statement that DaaDaa keeps DooDoo warm at night time. RuffRuff confirms that DaaDaa sometimes takes DooDoo away from him. Tommy reportedly tried to ask Boo questions, but failed as Boo could not speak to answer them. Baby Bear agrees that he has seen DaaDaa giving DooDoo snuggly blankets at night time.

in the second broadcast, Timmy casts the verdict of “GUILTY” upon DaaDaa. He charges DaaDaa for breaking the following laws; no kidnapping, Tommy is King, no other stealing and no questions Tommy or laws. At the end of the trial, Tommy sentences DaaDaa to a minimum of 48 hours in prison. Hank and Frank take DaaDaa away and lock him in his prison cell. This concludes the court trial. It is important to know that in this broadcast, it is the first time that we hear Tommy present himself as a King.

Away from the camera, Collin proposed a hypothesis that at night time, Phill undergoes a transformation from a rebellious little penguin to a mild and placid boi. In the last ever broadcast of Tommy News, called "Tommy News (Framing Phill)" Tommy and Timmy put this theory to the test. They block all sources of light from entering the room to trick Phill into thinking that it is night. Upon finding Phill, they are shocked that he is acting timid, and even uses his manners! They then reveal to Phill’s horror that it in fact day time by opening the curtains, before Timmy concludes the final episode by saying "Timmy used to work on da dock”’.
